All Activity

I just attended Gurston Down hill climb school. I have to say had a fantastic day, would totally recommend. Now, to have a go properly, if I’ve read the rules correctly, my Westfield would fit into “road going specialist production” . I know before I ask this, that it would be advisable to have better roll over protection. But is it required by the rules in this class. ( my reading is, it isn’t) at present, only have Jap bar. Reason I ask, is that I have another car ( MR2) that will not need modifications to compete and I could use this. But I’d much prefer to use Westfield.

Hi Martyn, I'm having to pull out of this event due to work commitment, I'm sorry for the short notice. Rusty

Thanks for all the messages Im now sorted Ive brought a complete brand new set from protech as they have done me an awesome deal

Have to say, that's very impressive. I admire people who can do stuff like this (I can't!)

Best way to save weight for sure, not the cheapest tho 🤣 But I can vouch for Ash's parts quality, gorgeous stuff. Surely the best Westfield carbon parts money can buy.

No, sorry. I'd sell the whole package. But I'm also happy to keep it. If I use it in a project in the future, then I'd want it to have the billet sump on.

If they remember to turn on the lights…

you will need a 19mm radius rolled lower edge for IVA.

Think it’s an age thing 🧐

Do you guys meet there every month?

... I think @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somersetis taking orders for seats/padding. I'm pretty sure his come in for less than £400 a side.

Less than ideal.

I only received the membership expired email not the 30 day renewal reminder unfortunately. I think the 30 day reminder is the ideal solution 👍

Would you consider selling just the sump?

My first one was make from alloy sheet.

That is mad! Another option is put on some weight so you are nicely ‘tight’ in the seat. Acceptable with age.

plywood?

If you thought Westfield parts prices were expensive… In my old Westfield (sold 10 yrs ago), I had Tillett seats and bought a pad set with them to make them a bit more comfy. The pad set is simply 2 pieces of thin foam (one for you bum and one for your back) Roll on 10 years, and I’m back in a Westfield, fitted with caterham tillet seats. I’m finding I slip down in them a little so looked a buying a pad set from tillett…. !!£400!! That’s just for one seat.. Think I’ll be making my own…

Nice car, good luck with the sale. The zetec r is quite happy in my car too👍

It would need a lambda too (so maybe a remap). That said, I may have missed the fact it already has one

The secret is out!! Well spotted @Martyn Vann - Warwickshire AO. We were at H and H Car Auction, Buxton Pavillion. Our friend from the car museum bought that truck in the background, he drove it home to Derby that evening, in the dark (it was winter) with brakes that barely worked. It was a funeral directors truck and has now sold it on at good profit.

I did, probably the best location to have it installed in my car, away from the heat soak of the engine bay. Entirely designed in CAD by myself, then built by ProAlloy to the exact spec.

Probably not to this one, as the weather looks good this weekend I fancy Sunday somewhere.

Spotted this faux pas on Virgin TiVo program schedule just now....
