Don't forget there is a set of possibly the best, heavy duty build stands going, available FOC on a first come, first served basis! These have probably launched half a dozen or so cars now, including three S2000 engined cars, (mine as well), they were made for a club member S2rrr by a heavy industrial fabrication company in the petrol chemicals field as a favour. So they're solid, strong and could probably survive a direct hit from a small thermo nuclear weapon! The thread to check out if you wish to borrow them is here. All that Bob ask's is that when you're done with them, you pass them on, again FOC, to the next Westfield builder.

Disagree. If you can afford it and it floats your boat, go for it. Just because someone can afford what someone else can't doesn't mean they are flash, nor does it mean they are rubbing peoples nose in it. Its the sort of statement that suggests, if I can't have why should they. Live and let live

Well this year I'm entered as well Looking forward to actually driving it for once.

Welcome Matt, great to see another new build starting! One thing I would seriously consider, is running a build thread here on the forum. I know you've got the blog - and a fantastic archive that will be for the future for you. However, the advantage of a build thread, even if you just copy and paste text in and add photos from the blog, is that you generally get a lot of traffic and feedback from all the other members on here. On more than a few occasions, that's also included members spotting a problem, or potential problem developing in the photographs, and have been able to offer advice to sort it out before it became an issue. This is where plenty of pictures score - whilst we're always here to, and happy to, answer questions; it's the times when you didn't know that there was a question to ask that come back to bite you! Best of luck with the build, and don't forget to be realistic in deadlines and goals, it's a fantastic way to learn new skills, but don't forget to enjoy yourself! If you've never done anything like it before, it's often best to break it down into a series of smaller tasks and projects. Plan ahead too; if you're mainly building at weekends for instance. Finish the actual build a little earlier on the Sunday, and spend some time planning what tasks you'll do the following weekend. Check that you have everything you'll need, whether you'll need to find out anything and also whether you might need any tool that you don't already have. (There'll often be a member or too that can help you out here, with enough notice). This gives you a chance on Monday morning to sort out anything you will need but don't have. Do bear in mind that fabricated parts and grp items will often take longer to order in, so more time should be allowed, if they arrive early, then that's a bonus. And again, don't forget to enjoy it! (Don't turn it in to "work").

Well, three out of four achieved so far! Albeit not necessarily as originally planned... As I kind of suspected, it turned out that the underlying wiring was pretty bodge-tastic, so it didn't take a lot of persuasion for me to throw in the towel and call in the professionals! First up, a test for the tow-car: Off to NMS! I delivered the car with no dash, wires hanging everywhere and only the ignition and starter connected. A few conversation with Troy and Steve (during which I briefly considered a replacement digital setup and a few other bits and pieces) and we settled on a fabricated bare aluminium dash with BCF's old gauges and a new set of switchgear. The final set-up I pretty much left to Steve after seeing various different options, and I certainly wasn't disappointed. After a slightly extended stay at NMS - a combination of my car needing more work than expected and NMS having a hell of a workload (victims of their own success!) I'm really happy with the new dash setup. Troy also very kindly balanced the R1 carbs for me so it runs beautifully now! And they even organised delivering the car to me as I couldn't get up there for a couple of weeks - very much appreciated. Quick run out yesterday evening after some fresh fuel: It doesn't come across all that well in photos, but the texture and finish of the bare ally dash is very, very cool... And a full house again! Next job is to give it an oil service at the weekend and then get out and enjoy it. And then think about some suspension.....

HI guys I'm looking to fit a diffuser to my MegaBusa, I had fitted an Areodynamix one over the winter break but it fell off at Goodwood a couple of weeks ago, looks like the pressure sucked it out of the U section at the front as soon as I got onto the 1st straight then it just scraped along the floor being held in place by the bonnet pins at the back, to be honest wasn't very impressed with the thing in the first place, poorly finished when it arrived and turned out to be too flimsy. So instead I'm looking at one of these http://www.sa-motorsport.co.uk/rear-diffusers.html which are made in aluminium so shouldn't flex and be sucked off the U section (Though I will add some extra retaining screws to the front this time) Anyone have any experience with one of these?

Woohoo! £85 delivered :-)

Fastphil - what are you after?? We might know of alternative supplier

I'll be there. Mine will be lightest as its got no engine or box in it.

I'm getting a wee bit excited

Ang on a minit, the only time I got anywhere near you was when I lapped you

Sacre Bleu, their amazing hospitality is now stretching to personal breakfast orders. Extract from latest email from St Goueno organisers..... Croissants and Pain au Chocolat Orders for Croissants and Pain au Chocolat will be taken in the paddock by the locals girls Hand Ball team, the girls will come to your paddock space to take order which will be delivered to the paddock bar the following morning. All the proceeds are to help finance their forthcoming trip to Sweden where they will be taking part in an international tournament. Can't see that happening in Pembrey

Excellent do. Many thanks for sorting it Adam. Slightly disappointed with 10th in race after two big spins following getting up to third with a gap to forth BUT well pleased with 4th fastest lap time. Gutted for Panda who had a dodgy engine and was seen sat at side of track for several laps.

Another shout out for superior customer service, I asked at Stoneliegh if I could order some extra adjustment rings to act as lock nuts, not only did they not charge me but they turned the spring seat off them to keep them tidy, so a huge thanks to the team at Protech. Nem.......
