In the Peak District with all these weird things around, I think they are called 'empty car parking spaces' ☹️

Jaunt up to the north norfolk coast for a day of driving alongside the sea! Fish and Chips at Wells were phenomenal

And one more from last saturday - it is not always nice and easy as above... (removing starter motor - broken mounting, subject for for the tech talk topic)

Great weekend getting to grips with the new car and slicks. Definitely more refinement of settings and some freash rubber for next season. Saturdays best Sundays best

Well just goes to show what Google knows 🤣

Winter project. Learn to use the MIG I have in the garage and make one 😁

Took my 81 year old mum out in the westy this afternoon, 58 years after mum and dad wanted one . she had a ball.

As above in good condition sure they are 13x7 on the fronts and 13x8 rears I will post up the offset once I get the wheels off the car looking for 400 for them collected from West Lothian Scotland could possibly meet somewhere along the M74/M6 or A1 Regards Craig

For sale is my 1998 Westfield SEW fitted with a 1.8L "silvertop" Zetec engine. Background I bought this in April 2014 from a gentleman in Wales who was the 3rd owner. He explained the car had started life as a Sprint car before he bought it, but that he only ever used it on the road, and due to life and children the car sat unused in his garage. At the time it had a bog standard 1.6L Crossflow engine on twin 40s and that kept me entertained for a couple of years whilst I concentrated on getting the car to look how I wanted it. In August 2016 I was offered the opportunity to upgrade the Crossflow with the current engine, a 1.8L Silvertop Zetec with ITBs by another WSCC member so over the winter period I swapped the engine and sold the Crossflow. The joy was short-lived as only 1000 miles after installation, the big end bearings spun and I was left crying 😭. The engine was then rebuild by JA Kits&Customs and in April 2018 the car was back on the road. And that sort of brings us to up to date. Outside - Westfield Chrome Yelllow "Kit" bodywork with a quick release nose cone and scuttle - Carbon NV carbon cycle wings with integrated DRL/indicators - 3M carbon vinyl rear arch protectors - Unknown make carbon double bubble aeroscreen - 13" John Brown Wheels "Smoothie" steel wheels in 5.5J on the front and 7J on the back both fitted with Nankang NS-2R tyres in 185/60R13. - 4" Dominator head lights - Roadvision R8 rear light units - "RAC" roll bar with Hella 3rd brake light - Intatrim Endeavour seats bolted to the floor - Westfield 4 point seatbelts - OMP steering wheel with removable boss and indicator buttons - Playskool "carbon" dashboard - VDO cockpit instrumentation with white gauge faces (except for oil pressure) - Shift lights - Westfield gear knob - 3D printed centre console, gear and handbrake surround - Tonneau cover - Re-located fuel filler Inside - Westfield supplied 1998 Ford "silvertop" 1.8L Zetec (RKC engine code) - Jenvey ITBs with Penny&Giles contactless TPS - MBE 956E ECU mapped by Northampton Motorsport to 177 bhp / 142 Nm and a 7200 rpm limit - MSD coil pack - Denso Iridium twin-tipped spark plugs - Ford Sierra 2.0 "Type 9" 5 speed gearbox refurbished by Graham Millar (windy) in 2016 - Westfield top mounted pedal box - Clubsport AGM battery - CTek indicator panel charger - Programmable coolant temperature fan switch with manual override - Westfield front uprights - Unknown make disk brakes on the front - Spax dampers on the front - Live axle with 3.54:1 plated LSD refurbished by Martin Harvey (marto303) / Graham Millar (windy) in 2016 - Plays-Kool supplied Protech 14" open dampers with 175lb springs on the rear - Ford RS2000 9" drum brakes on the rear - Extended range (40L) fuel tank with a Landrover V8 internal fuel pump and VDO compatible float tube sender - Motad stainless steel 6" repackable exhaust silencer Other stuff I've got a stack of original paperwork including build manual, along with years and years of receipts. I've also kept a blog on these forums up to date, which contains every single thing I've done or fixed. You can read all about it here: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/blogs/blog/48-quintens-mighty-blog/. The only issue is that all my older pictures were hosted on my own web server, of which the hdd crashed at some point with no recovery possible. After that photos were hosted on the forums, but it does mean my early posts read a little odd without pictures. The car is taxed, MOT'd (18/10/2021) and insured so Covid friendly passenger rides can be accommodated. I'm in Northampton a couple of miles from either J16 or J15A of the M1. I'm looking for £11,000 but am open to offers. Give me a call/text/whatsapp on 07971 125839 or email me at quinten (at) awooga.nl.

I’ve only used it a few times when i needed the garage for something else £100 posted can’t find 2 of the straps though, it’s been on the car outside all day and didn’t come off https://www.techautos.co.uk/outdoor-stormforce-waterproof-4-ply-all-weather-car-cover-43998-p.asp

Looks like an excellent weekend and the times were rapid. Top work!

My apologies @Dan_G. It wasn't until you queried it, that I realised that I do not have an Atlas, but just a regular English axle 🤦‍♂️. Have amended the advert... But for axles/diffs/gearboxes, speak to @windy. What he doesn't know, is probably not worth knowing

@shrops-paul on a side note you can do wireless carplay with a bit of easy coding with something like an OBD eleven adapter... managed to enable full wireless Apple Carplay in my Audi - PM me and I can explain in more detail if you want that feature!

How do you know Andrzej doesn't have electrically adjustable wing mirrors? 😀

Yeah too far and too expensive I think the same ones have been on there for months - don’t mind paying up to £200.

To be honest, many police officers have lost heart. The CPS and the courts are the problem as they do not do the follow up. We were burgled and several watches were lost. Police said little chance of finding them, but some of the watches were unique so I went on the usual sites and that very night one of them was on there at a pawn shop. Young officer went and got the person who was selling it (she found it in a hedge). Any way he did everything to prove the case phone locations etc he could have done no more. CPS wanted a police caution. I kicked up a fuss with the CPS and the PCC (this burglary it total cost the insurance £40 k with repairs to home and lost property) so it went to court and she got a suspended 6 month sentence. The young copper felt he had let me down. The only upside was she walked out of the court and then was caught that afternoon shoplifting in Primark (classy) and did end up in jail. The young copper had little resource, little help and the CPS just wanted to drop everything and that is why we see respect for the law, not the officers, falling

Dave you need to understand what a piece of cinematic brilliance they are... 😜🙄

Whilst waiting for someone to show me around their Seight...

I'm not sure she should be doing that to your right hand wing mirror........😆

I wish I had a better camera... and a second seat EDIT And the full movie is finished !!! : https://youtu.be/LgxL5J3ChPo . . . ( sorry, it is mainly onboard )

I feel I may have sold my C1 a couple of weeks too early 😄

My mates building an a series hill climb mini ...........his banter is strong bless him

Just wanted to say how good it is to be back as a WSCC member! I bought an old (1989 chassis) SEiW around 10 years ago. I owned if for 6 years and in that time had many rounds of upgradeitous. I sold the car 4 years ago and regretted it pretty much immediately. A month ago I managed to track down the owner and bought it back! Many people asked why but my first drive put a huge grin on my face - it has a Dunnell 1800 Zetec that I purchased through this site when originally a member. Why this club is so good is the willingness of people to help out And share info. I just rebuilt the entire back end which is the old style English diff with Westfield case and uprights. I managed to track down all the bearings, seals, spec and information from very helpful club members and old threads. So thanks all, it’s a great club to be a part of.

I can do you some NEW... Hot off production dampers, once WSCC discount (effectively full trade) has been applied for £74+ VAT each + Carriage. I have a Dark blue set under my desk built as a special colour I can do for a better price.

New rims fitted.

But he wants a reliable engine.
