If you want to have a little bit of an insight into other things that i do/ am involved in (not that i was involved in this particular project) watch C4 this Sunday 26th at 8pm, where you'll see Guy with another cyclist and two good friends of mine (Mike Burrows and Miles Kingsbury), try and break a 24hr cycling record, I can't tell you if they do it or not

Were going large on the upgrade budget there aren't we. I have a BGH E6 box with HD bearings probably my favourite upgrade,

Paul Thats a great spec car, very very similar to mine and a great the best engine You'll notice a BIG difference from the Mazda so take it easy for a while, they do bite back Oh and enjoy your new toy

Can't believe this isn't sold John!

Agreed, it's an odd one. It's designed to match their Professional Range instruments, including the Pro-Control range, (which it does in terms of bezel style etc). The odd thing, is that if you look at most of the modern style tachos, including the Professional range model, they all seem to be a closer match to the ST700 Dash display that I've got, and as far as I can see, other than the monster 125mm job, they're all typical 88mm OD, to fit an 80mm hole.

Would like to have joined, but my social secretary says I have prior bookings unfortunately. Have fun.

Unlike you, I didn't do my homework when I bought mine 3 years ago. It is based on a 97 kit so didn't have the extra strengthening around the diff cage. Didn't spot the cracks in that area until a week after I purchased it, with a fresh MOT I might add ! Anyway I took it to the Westfield factory who advised not driving it any further, so I left it with them to do the necessary welding and strengthening. No problem since. Clearly it is more of an issue once you up the power outputs. Mine has a 4.6 with around 275bhp and 300lbft of torque. The original engine was a 3.5, so the chassis was probably fine with that one, but not with the 4.6. I have an LT77 gearbox which is not as strong as the R380 or T5. I think it is close to needing a rebuild and may be this Winter's project. I did see a Chevvy powered Westfield advertised a couple of years ago, which had 450bhp ! It was out of my budget but very tempting. Not sure how difficult it is too fit one of these engines, but the tuning potential is better with this engine. Not sure what your budget is? There are a few up for sale at the moment on Pistonheads.

I find it strange that the top teams get 'heaps' of money - the newbies next to nothing. All teams should get the same IMO.
