If you have never been to prescott be aware of the following. The track is good, the return route is down a bridleway so go walking speed and watch out for horses walkers bikes stones and potholes. Our paddock is grass and we go on a gravel track to the start line. So super sticky tyres may not be the best option

Will be attending. Maybe in the Westfield but if wet will be in the 911.

Westy loaded up ready to head over to Oulton for tomorrow's track day. Showers forecast, no roof, what could go wrong ?

Well if they arrived from Spax with the tighter coils at the top, that's good enough for me.

Surely the correct answer is 'whichever looks coolest'.

Show off..!

My new Spax dampers with rear progressive springs fitted by Spax themselves!

Does anyone have any usable (not ancient or cracked, with a decent bit of tread left) 185/60 R13 tyres? I have hideous 15" wheels on my car at the moment that it came with. I've got some cheap 13s to try before I spend a load of money on CXRs (or whatever), so I'm looking for some tyres to try them with. The rims I have are 5.5J, so I don't think I can go any bigger on the back than 185? Needs to be within reach of Oxfordshire, or able to ship. Thanks

Thank Ian, bought myself an Insta360 x5 for my birthday as I was fed up with my GoPros always having a problem. Working out how to mount it on the roll cage now using the GP mounts I have. Taking a look at the separate forum for ideas. it’s raining today but I was hoping to go out for a spin later and the dinner out.

I have some Shroth in and out of date harnesses - what are you wanting?

Have a great day @Hafod 🎂🍺

Tighter coils at the top should fractionally reduce unsprung weight, so thats what I would do.

I put the tighter coils to the top, transformed the ride. No more bottoming out on compressions

On the way to Haynes Motor Museum last weekend.

Oh that’s a shame! Good luck with the fix. I’ve been through a few starter motors so I’d say you’ve definitely had your money’s worth out of one that old! We’ll certainly be back over again, will keep you posted.

Hi Richard, If Lonewolf doesn't take it, or arrangements can't be made, I'd like to take it. Whereabouts are you? I can probably collect. Regards Howard

Congratulations on your correct choice of colour 😁

If you can make it down to Leeds from Ripon on Sunday morning, why not join us for this show.

Hi everyone. Some of you have already interacted with me and kindly shared loads of advice to my questions. For the rest of you, ive had my Westy for 2 weeks now and due to this great forum, ive probably learned more in that time than any knowledge ive gained over my lifetime. Id wanted a seven style car for many years and finally found one that I felt had my name on it. All of you can probably relate to the sheer joy i feel when driving her. Its like being on a track everytime im driving. Ive also become obsessive at trolling through these forums reading up on anything i can learn. What a great group of people you are and my sincerest gratitude to all that have and will help me so far.
