So I've completed the winter list of upgrades, Roll cage, Carbon cycle wings, Carbon Bulkhead panel, Carbon Tunnel panels, Flat shifter, Dominator headlights, Carbon wing mirrors, Protech dampers. Most pleased with the transformation the roll cage has made (thanks Luke @ playskool). Think a carbon aeroscreen will complete the transformation.. and a few pics

blimey does that come with a car

Big thumbs up to Julie . The cover photo looks fantastic even more so because my car features in it. I asked Julie if she could organise a couple of days out one weekend as a planned trip with my son had to be cancelled . True to form my Peak District AO soon put a plan together, my car was insured for my son and did he have some fun . The weekend culminated in a visit to the Vulcan Bomber Museum at Woodford where the cover photo was taken. Prior to that we took in many roads in the Peak District ate lots of food (low cal) and enjoyed some good banter. Thanks Julie, thanks Glen, Baby Bio (my son), Rickyboy and Brooke, Martyn and Sue oh and I almost forgot Bob.

Compared to some of us on here being only 30 is still a kid. Oh and welcome, you've got the best roads in the UK on your doorstep, and a great team in Clan Mc Westy up there, so enjoy yourself

I also have a crossflow tried a zetec and a bike engine one both fast but old school is so much fun

Izza coming folks, just booked up.

will we get them before rockingham

Lego FW also available can we get them together somewhere??

pThat's brill Geoffrey, shows it load and clear. This is all still very new to me and the boss! But loving it every moment, even getting numb last Sunday on a blast out.

Have a look here Ali as I had the same concern. http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/112611-lockable-boot-lid-and-boot-box-yellow/

Spring is here (ish), so why not come to the... Herts, Beds & Bucks Area Meeting 2nd Thursday of the month, Thu 10 Mar 2016 Grove Lock http://grovelock.co.uk/find-us 7pm onwards Everyone welcome. Who'll be there this time? Matt

That looks like a car that kryton off red dwarf would have, not a curve in sight

Good luck

The c20xe filter from halfords was short last time I bought one. Same as QED and SBDEVELOPMENTS

Having a hood offers one big advantage.... when you come to sell your car... You attract 1st timers off Autotrader/Ebay who pay top dollar and won't possibly consider buying a car without a roof .

Super dizzy now after speaking to Simon and happy with the spec and cost, so pulled the trigger . Oh what have I let myself in for ............I need a bigger beer fridge. Spec is S2000 , obviously, in black Powdercoated floors Hi Spec brakes Started with nitron shocks , then Simon said it would be cheaper with Protech ones .........ooops, so them ones then Padded dash MSA rear bar , hood and doors Turbo seats LSD Windscreen, heater etc Carbon silencer with cat Ummmm , cant think of anything else........... Just need to pay him money now........

Hi. My frame sits inside the bootbox lid. I lift up the lid and the frame sits inside and then the lids closes and locks in place.

Fram PH 5645. This one http://www.sogefifilterdivision.com/catalogues/FO/scripts/cat_fich_filtre.php?zone=FR&catalogue=FRAM〈=GB&searchref=&old_marque=BEDFORD&ref_filtre=PH5645&valid=OK&marque=BEDFORD Fits Daewoo's as well Buy a few of them for the future.

I have the short stubby one as well, wait till I get home. Any quality branded Dot4 is fine for our bathtubs, such as Castrol Response, Motul, ATE blue etc. Just changing the brake fluid needs a litre. Suck out the old stuff from the reservoir and refill with new fluid, then go round the car and bleed through till the new stuff comes out. You should start at the rear nearside wheel cylinder and run up to 1/2 a litre through until you see the clean fluid. Then do the offside rear followed by the fronts. You'll find the last three wheel cylinders will use a lot less new fluid than the first one you did. Don't forget to top up the reservoir regularly or you will end up with air in the system and will be a big problem and many more litres of brake fluid on your shopping list.

I can only help you in one respect, do not, and i mean DO NOT put brake fluid in the engine it will make your engine - that is all .

Lovely car, looks outstanding.

And.compared to some of us, you're as thin as a racing snake!

I'm ok in the tvr but the mg doesn't quite have the go of either It's been built to show standards just right for an enthusiast of the marque

Great cover pic well done

I was also very surprised at the front cover picture but it is a good one. It was a great day out too, thanks for organising it and sending the picture in Julie and thanks to the editorial team and other contributors for another great magazine

and my emerald ecu

You had his wheels!

Hello mate and welcome. I too am a new member and have a cross flow engined se. I'm sure other engines are just as much fun, and many on paper, have more power, and the bike engined westies look great BUT once you've driven a decent specced cross flow and fallen in love with the sound, you will be smittened lol... There's something raw about the older technology....sniffing the petrol and hearing the cards spluttering all adds to the enjoyment. Hope you have a blast mate and happy birthday for next week ...wish I was thirty again lol..... Mart.

So long as you're still enjoying the build, who cares how long it takes. I refused to set a deadline for finishing mine and only worked on it when I felt like it, and I'm still convinced that's the best approach.

I've just deleted all the German contacts off my phone. It's now Hans-free

Congrats and welcome. Totally different kettle of fish to Evos, Subaru's, M3's etc in terms or raw excitement and pure driving. Even with relatively little power they make driving a 400bhp Evo or E46 M3 seem muted and a little dull. All IMO of course.

Welcome. Drive the mighty crossflow and you will be smitten!

You might be interested in Clan McWestys annual Applecross weekend then http://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic/117078-clan-mcwesty-applecross-17th-19th-june-2016/ always a brilliant weekend with a great bunch of guys & girls.

Hi TheHighlander123, and welcome. Striking looking car you're getting there. Looks like a purple people eater! I live near Inverness too (there's a few of us now), so if you want to get together for a run out, let me know. Can't promise I'll be able to keep up with you though as yours looks a potent purple beast! David
