Had some engine bits from a engine that had put a rod out the block, this afternoons fun

The first entries are in so get your fingers out

Here's a few family ones I did some years ago too.

All settled in her new home. Just need to sell the TT so I can swap insurance over.

Hi, Ordered some bits on Sunday which arrived before lunch today. Bloomin marvellous if you ask me!

I thought this was going to be a thread about me

Snuck out for an hour this morning, it was a bit crisp n icy underneath, but lovely to get out

Here are the final Regulations for the 2021 season. Lets hope we have a great season and that we have a good mix of experts, novices, newcomers but most of all enthusiastic drivers. See you in the paddock 2021 WSCC Speed Series regulations.pdf

Hi all, I'm hopefully picking up my first Westfield tomorrow. It's a Mega S2000, I cant wait & hope to see a few of you around over the next year. 👌🏾👌🏾

I thought it may have been Phil’s too. I have only seen it in the flesh once and then chased it 20miles but can second that it’s a great car.

He's just messaged me saying I can get it the weekend now. 😍😍 In the meantime I've been offered a SEIW S2000 for 3k less on Jenvey throttle bodies. Can anybody enlighten me on the differences?

I’ve got a couple of these in my cars which I picked up from their stand at Stoneleigh. The first one I bought proved to be so good that I got a second when I went back the following year. starts my Impreza with ease even when the car battery is completely flat. I think you’ll need a different model for your motor motor home though. https://www.antigravitybatteries-uk.co.uk/microstart-jump-starter/microstart-sport.html

Noco are very good and available in various A ratings https://www.halfords.com/motoring/battery-maintenance/jump-starters/

Good call, thanks Ian

Have booked the above day, a Saturday with MSV, cheap at £125. Hope to see some familiar faces there?

As an owner of an electric BEV Westfield I can tell you that they are just a different incarnation of the mark and not a replacement for the existing ICE versions. ICE cars, particularly classics, will be with us for a very long time. You will just end up buying your petrol on-line and taking delivery from Amazon - it's the petrol station that is doomed in my view. Also please don't judge future BEVs by what has gone before. Although very well engineered, they were intended for early adopters, like me, who were prepared to put up with the high purchase cost and range issues. Although current prices are high in the West, new BEV models are emerging around the world for less than £20K and ranges are generally in excess of 200 miles. At the current development rate, by 2030 BEVs will have consigned ICE power to a revered place in history alongside steam engines.

Sorry to hear that Dan, hope your lad gets better soon, everything else can wait.

January! brrrrrr Sign me up to WussMotorsport, 🙂

Andy just had a look and there currently isn't availability online for new licence holders. I got my first license by doing it online, due to covid they may be only accepting paper applications but having looked there is only the 2020 form online at the moment. As terry said worth a call Monday they are. Or ally very helpful.

Stunning from Russell. Only .026s from poll in a car he's new to!

I was going to say the same Mark, where ever you get them from you need to take care when welding them on as the axle will warp if you are not careful. Westfield had a jig to do them in to stop the twist. Last one I did I made a jig to fasten the banjo diff mount and each axle end and it didn't move much at all. Small welds at opposite corners and let it cool between as you need a good bit of power to get the penetration right

Stu, if you can't source any they would be very easy for a fabricator to make or even yourself. The Locost builders make them from steel box section with one face cut off. the dimension of the Westfield part are as below.

No worries Mark, good to see you last night, but did look like you were really struggling with your connection. Great to see everyone. Happy Christmas to all, and hopefully we'll get a chance to meet properly again before too long, in the new year!

I live fairly far north (Montana, USA) and at a bit of altitude (5000') so when you get a sunny and calm day in December and the roads are clear of snow you take it. It was chilly (30°F/ -1°C) so it means that the engine makes great power with all that cold and dense air while the tires have little grip. It's not the best combo now that I think of it but it sure was fun. dave

No, my 1 year old boy has a kidney condition & has been tested positive with Covid so couldn't risk the trip. I offered a deposit to keep it until next weekend but he said he has somebody else that wants to look at it Tuesday. I just hope they dont buy it now. 😭

I’m at Donington in feb
