And all finished now, with it's big brother all ready for Stoneleigh.

Hello all, I am gauging interest with the intent to sell my much loved Westfield Sport with the FW body kit. It’s a 57 plate factory built Westfield which pretty much every factory upgrade on it. My only reason for sale is I dont drive the car enough and my other car is a Golf R which is just quick and a bit more practical, but definitely not as much fun!! The car has an MOT valid until 20th September 2017, and two new tires were added on 15th Sept 2016 at the mileage of 7302. The current mileage of the car is 8100 miles. The engine is a 2.0 litre Ford Duratec has been upgraded and the final components are listed below. The work was carried out by AMS on 13th July 2016 and custom mapped by Track n Road on 28th November 2016 resulting in an impressive 220.3 BHP and 154.6 lb/ft (I have the print out of the dyno chart for proof) The engine now revs upto 8500rpm and the car tachometer has been changed to a 10k gauge. Additional VDO oil temperature gauge and voltmeter gauges have been added. Ultimate performance 200 camshafts Wossner 12.5:1 High Compression Forged Piston K1 Forged Conrods ARP Rod bolts KMS MP25 ECU KMS EUGO Controller KMS Inlet Manifold KMS Throttle bodies 4-2-1 Exhaust Additionally the engine has a Raceline low profile wet sump and a Raceline front engine cover in matt black I have added in a bigger radiator to help keep the engine cool on those summer days, its a full stainless steel 55mm core radiator by Coolmax. The drivetrain consists of the following components: 5 speed manual gearbox, I think its an MT75 (not 100% sure) Lightweight Billet flywheel ARP Flywheel bolts AP Racing clutch The other factory upgrades include: Limited Slip Differential Front anti roll bar and the wide track wishbones. Rear anti roll bar Heater kit Contoured dash ProRace 1.2 wheels with 205/50 R15 tyres. Front brakes to 4 pot calipers Heated front screen Leather touring seats The car also has the factory wet weather gear which includes the doors and roof, additionally I have the Perspex side windshields which are great. Also there is a tonneau which has a zip down the middle, and finally I purchased an outdoor full car cover which is a StormForce plus with extra security and fixing straps at a cost of £230.. In the spirit of honesty and to save you time or uncertainty there are a couple of things that need doing on the car that I haven’t got around to do and don’t plan to do before selling, this has been reflected in the price. The tracking needs doing (Typically costs £50-80) There is a small crack in the windscreen, however it has passed 2 MOTs like it so not a problem but wanted to call it out. Based on the spec of the car, the upgrades and the performance, I'm taking into consideration the above I'm looking for £17,000, the car will be available from July but this is open to negotiation.

As seen here @Applecross ....

Hehe to are perhaps right noggin, my golf R is 9 months out and already modified giving me 430bhp .. it's rapid .. but yes wind in the hair and raw driving can't be beaten thanks mighty Mart you're right, I'm going to work on getting the jobs done ✅

Sunday is freeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee for me. see you at Matlock

Hope its going well now Kevin ! Bet you're glad to be out in it again.

...and the post-IVA "honest, it fell off guv" starts

Personal opinion only. In addition to Scott's very good points, (must admit, I'd never considered the second one), I my biggest fear would be lost footfall, and watering down the single biggest, most powerful advantage, (for the builder) of having a build thread: more times than I dare count, someone casually browsing Tech Talk, and leafing through a build thread, someone has spotted a mistake - usually in a photo, and been able to point it out either early enough to be dead easy to fix, or before it could become a potential safety risk later on. You can say what you like, but dedicated build areas just do not get the same footfall from experienced builders and mechanically literate members as Tech Talk does; Build Blogs are a classic example of this, with way less traffic per blog compared to Tech Talk.

@sdh2903 Doubled it (just to celebrate your IVA pass)

Surely @Pistol PetePete must be back on the road by now?

I have received both the card and stickers thanks

I've bought a couple of these... https://www.decathlon.co.uk/arp100-hiking-pole-blue-id_8355380.html Cut to length with similar attachment to windscreen and ROP. They'll collapse for easier storage.

As above, I guess all is well with the new site... I've updated the events page this morning (http://www.wscc.co.uk/events.htm)

Mine sags down on to my head when stationary but pulls up at speed, can't say it 'flaps about' though, even at 70 plus. A pair of home made bars from the screen to the roll bar stopped the sagging.

I'll be there, weather looking ok. Rear car park?!? :-P

That could be a bit of an understatement.

Got a little bit more done to the Westfield. The loom is now 99% complete and my friend Will Pedley has been back over to start calibrating the sensors and getting the CanBus working between the dash and ECU. I must say I'm beyond impressed with the capabilities of the electronics package. It's going to be awesome This morning I picked my head up from the machine shop. It's been ported and has had piper 300 cams, Piper valve springs and Piper soild lifters fitted. I wasted no time getting to work and bolting the head to the block. I've used ARP headstuds and a Focus RS headgasket which is 1.4mm thick to begin with giving 12.8:1. Once it's on the dyno and I can see what ignition figures it's taking I might swap to the 0.6mm gasket and map it again to see if there is anymore power to be found. Next i bolted my cams in. I was hoping to start getting my head round the base setting of the inlet cam today but I forgot to order the cam seals! I want to find the point of contact under advance and then retard the cam to a position of safety so under maximum dephaser advance the valves can't hit the pistons. Although I have big pockets in my pistons, from some rough calculations I still don't think I will be able to safely use the full swing of the dephaser. Hopefully ill be able to pick up the seal I need tomorrow and it won't be too long to wait until there is another batch of progress to report. I'm starting to REALLY miss my Westfield.
