Hello all this is my first post just want to introduce my car more importantly I’m hoping to join in a day with the Peak District area and enjoy a track day too I have a 2007 seiw rs 2000 Toybox car Hopefully will see some of you guys and gals on a day out soon thanks Dave

was a bit cold on the finger tips!

If I may quote from the sales and conditions post, stickied at the top of this section: "Dibs" are notorious for causing confusion and arguments, and over the years is one main constant that gets the complaints, after thread drifts, in the sales section. Please, please, if you NEED to go away and check something, and we often do, PM the seller, tell them the situation, and ask if they're happy to hold the item while you check. The answer is often yes, but please, don't "block" the thread, then if it's not suitable for you, they can move on to the next possible buyer. We're a friendly bunch, but the dibs thing does really confuse many people.

Peak District solo run

Last one from me I think.

Hi. Owned the car for 12 months but only just joined the forum. It’s a 1700 crossflow running on twin 40s.

Went out to clean my Dads headstone with my daughter. It was rude not to go in this

Cheers Craig. The cars red so couldn't go yellow as I'd look like a McDonald's 🤦‍♂️ Looking for a newish red or black set ideally. Thanks

Probably because someone said I couldn't have dibs and said they would have it. I went away and did my check spoken to another member and now have what I was after for free. Meanwhile you have been messed around by @Rob R1 and lost out on a sale when I just needed to check something.

If joining in with the Peak District runs I hope you can cope with all of the cake. Well known for it 😀😀 Looking forward to meeting you. Andrew

At last I can contribute to this thread!

From my travels

Btw, you dont have to wait until morning, you can book it now on that new fangled internet thing Mike. 😉

Hi Dave, Welcome to the club. That looks like a great car for you to enjoy, hopefully you will share your enjoyment with us in the Peak District. I always post up our activities in the Events section (as Ian mentioned earlier, thanks Ian). I am struggling with the rule of 6 at the moment so I am organising outings on a more personal level temporarily. Hope to see you soon, Julie

What a cracking car this is. The perfect all-rounder IMO! Weirdly Smeg and I bought our first Westies the same weekend, and had a few of the same cars on our viewing lists! The fact I've had 3 more since is fairly telling of how well this one has been cherished and improved over the years. I hope we'll still have you in the club in a different Westy, Dave!

The hot day was when i went without you and the rest of the WSCC track day team!

Have a look on here Simon: https://www.darlingtondmc.com/series-home.htm?seriesid=86

If you haven't already done so it'd be worth sketching out your plan and then working out what connection sizes you have and therefore what you'll need to join them. Put the drawing on here too and it might prove easier for us to assist you.

Welcome from Somerset! Nice looking car! W

Enjoyed that. The second pass was a brave one Mark.. 😎

Thanks Andrew, my driving wasn’t the best - it might take me a couple of outings to relearn the car but It’s good fun

...is it a genuine Bosch 044, rather than an equivalent? (Some of the equivalents have different size end fittings) A genuine pump is usually M18x1.5 for the inlet port, and M12x1.5 on the outlet. Have you got an anti-reversion valve on the outlet, before the banjo fitting? (They don't always come with them). It's not absolutely necessary, but stops the pressurised fuel draining quickly back through the pump when you turn the engine off, and helps maintain line pressure while running.

Looks nice mate, enjoy 👋

Welcome, nice looking car 👍 I'm another Peaks regular, based in South Derbyshire. Hopefully we'll get to see the car in the flesh once restrictions ease

Welcome - lovely looking car

Cheeky!

Thats interesting 🤣🤣

And the "near miss" from my view 😳

Another from me - Westy vs GT86

Welcome from Suffolk, East Anglia. Car looks nice😎

Welcome from a snowy Scotland , hope you have lots of fun with her

Welcome! Nice looking car, hope to see you out in the Peaks!

@David lear I'm in Werrington, Staffs. How about you? As Covid 19, starts to clear off and we can get out, we'll be back out enjoying the great roads of the Peak District and it will be great to meet you and your nice new car. We'll publish such events in - Events

Welcome from Buckinghamshire. Pretty car!

Me 👍

Fairly obvious that +bhp, -kg and good dollop of skill always wins 😁 I really enjoyed that!

This was good fun. Sorry about the ropey sound in parts.

In fairness watching that, Chris clearly hadn’t moved over (these things happen) - the guy was outside the track limits forcing his way through. He should’ve been patient when I’m sure a clear signal to go past would have been given on the next straight... it’s a track day not a race!

All ready for a run in the sun

Given the easing of restrictions, is the weekend looking to go ahead?

I'm contemplating a change of Westfield. This is initial notification & I will update this thread with further details/corrections and photos when able as time permits. Factory built in 2000, then improved over the years. This one has been a brilliant all-rounder for road blats, touring, track and sprinting in the WSCC speed series. And it's been great for me as a first Westie to experience everything they have to offer. In fact it's been that good I'll have had it 10 years if it's still with me in May, longest keeper ever for any of my vehicles. Hope I don't end up regretting this! Covid and Family issues have meant I've not MOT'ed or given it a 'spring clean' yet this year. After I have I'll take some up to date photos (those teasers below are current spec). Lets get the bad bits over with - It's a 20+ year old kit car so isn't a class winning show car! It has some surface rust to chassis and wishbones which should probably be dealt with in the coming years before it progresses too much further. And the gel coat isn't perfect. Some flaking powder coat on windscreen uprights. It thinks it's a cross flow and has always had slight oil seepage which has never been an issue. Factory built W 2000, SEiW Carbon Ltd Ed No.14 - Full specification: 1.8 zetec with Jenvey throttle bodies, BLiNK Motorsport optimised head & fast road cams Late 2019 full engine inspection by Playskool Motorsport, new leads & coil pack, new DTA ECU - dyno at Chip Wizards (Wayne Schofield) @ 179bhp Petrol swirl pot, no fuel surge and can run a few miles after 20l tank empty Coolex alloy radiator Dunnel shallow sump Simpsons exhaust BHG 5 speed gearbox with long first 7" viscous 3.9 LSD Westfield wide track Adjustable Protec shocks Playskool 'soft' anti roll bars Playskool MSA roll over protection Westfield 1/2 hood Doors JK grp seats Schroth 4 point harnesses Handling set up by CleaR Motorsport aka Adam Read (Well known club set up expert) Removable quick release steering wheel. TBC This is a well known Westfield in WSCC, so if you don’t already know it your sure to know someone who does. It's had plenty of coverage in WSCC Westfield World magazine (these can be seen online in forum) which probably documents it's history with me well and it has featured regularly in the calendar. Price: Good examples of similar spec Westfields appear to be selling for £13k-£14k! So taking into account the 'bad' bits it'll be £12,000 At that it'll be the perfect Westfield and great value for someone. If you know it and think I'm underselling or overselling please PM me for my consideration rather than commenting here. Muchly Ta
