All Activity

I went out for the first proper drive ever (after 600 miles) by myself. Glorious sunshine and decent roads. Maybe I enjoyed myself too much, as 'Life360' (the app we use to keep track of family members) reckoned I had 35 'risky events' over 47 miles...😬. I ended up at my usual haunt (Elstree Aerodrome) for a cup of coffee. One day I'll find a nice vintage aeroplane for the XI to pose against 😃.

Be good for Malvern though. Occupy the kids!

Someone posted a picture or two of some people sat in a Westie but their arms were chopped off by the wing mirror because they were too big for the car. Can't for the life of me remember who or what was sat in the car though. Someone famous maybe or cartoon characters. Damned my brain.

@Darren Harvey available to buy in the WSCC store

I’ve let my membership lapse and would like to renew it

... unless you happen to be VERY large that is 😉

I asked ChatGPT for an image of my car with a full FIA roll cage fitted. Not sure it got this quite right! 🤣

It has.

and it looks like your hair has been blow dried!

I've got lovely hands.

I am glad he is up and running Al... that is definitely a mess and would explain the oil everywhere.. I wouldn't know what went first however the damage on the piston looks more like fragment damage rather than detonation? Hopefully I will be back on track end of September..it has been me taking time to mend rather than the car!

A word of warning from me I wouldn’t recommend asking for a picture of a gender swap version of yourself… ime shocked 🤣

Brilliant. And surprisingly accurate 😂

Thanks for the welcome, Expand how?

Hi Rednop1, I am interested in these arches if still for sale. Are you able to post pictures of the condition? Are they the extra wide ones or standard width? Any additional info would be welcome. Also would you be happy to post? kind regards Rob

“Classic Flying Carrot, first you’re handing out rosettes, next you’re plotting world domination. We’ll keep an eye on you at the next WSCC meet… just in case the buffet goes missing!” 🥕😅. AI response 😂😂

Warm Welcome @DannyTGS expecting great things from you! Lots of “Westfield World” Social media posts and Super images too. hopefully. Noticed your recent Instagram etc post now you are in a Westfield. Looking to expand this team if you are interested. HB.

Welcome @DannyTGS car looks great! I'm often out in the Peaks, so hope to see you at some point. Runs out are posted in here- Runs out etc

Hi Everyone, New member here, picked up my Westfield Megablade mid week, looking forward to being part of a community with drive outs and track days etc Based up in Manchester

I'm no expert but personally I would not risk that. Mine is a 2.0 blacktop Zetec but running the same boost. I have armoured con rods, ARP rod bolts, forged pistons, heavy duty big end and main bearings and heavy duty valve springs. Also ARP flywheel bolts. Different engine I know, but I'd still be cautious.

I thought I’d posted this after our track day at Donington on 2nd July. My car ran faultlessly and was great fun throughout the afternoon and evening sessions. Sadly, @Mole’s day was cut short by a cracked chassis, which meant we couldn’t all get out on track together. My friend didn’t have the best of luck either — while I was following him down the Wheatcroft Straight, his car decided to empty all of its engine oil onto the circuit! Second-hand engine sourced and now back in the car. Good job they are nice and cheap! The old setup was running 1 bar of boost on a standard bottom end, with the exception of MaXpeeding rods. The new engine is completely standard — my mate reckons that should still be fine for 1 bar of boost? I’m not so sure after looking at the photos above! 🤦‍♂️ Question for those more knowledgeable (I’m keen to learn): 1) Detonation / pre-ignition? 2) Piston ring gaps too tight? 3) IATs too high? 4) Something else?

I wonder if the electric companies are struggling generally because of the teleswitch switch off. it does seem to have overwhelmed EDF.
