The most useful stuff for me was the standard wiring harness and and build diary with the same type of engine to understand where all the sensors etc were or the coolant loop etc.

I bought my car in May 23 and have not really worked on vehicles at all previously. Since then I have replaced and upgraded the heating matrix, while the dash was off I installed an Oil temp gauge and sensor into the engine via the existing wiring loom. Fitted some carbon parts, modified the front indicator pods, made a new front grill and various other jobs. Replaced the coolant, oil. Just today I have fitted new Spax springs on the rear and will be tackling the timing belt soon. All the info I needed was picked up here or in literature so my point is don't be put off by possibly needing mechanical work. Theses cars are easy to work on and the support and knowledge on the forum is second to none. I genuinely enjoy working on the small jobs over the cold season almost as much as I do driving it.

Hi Dave , Please add me to the meal list , Thank you Jim

First registered 1997, comprehensive nut and bolt rebuild over the last 18 months, stripped to the chassis (which was refurbed and painted), and built again from scratch with new components used where necessary. I've owned it for c. 2 years, with two owners prior to me. I've enjoyed the project but I'm looking to do a season of racing next year so this is now up for sale as I need the space (and the money!!) It has been built as a usable lightweight fast road and trackday car with loads of carbon (scuttle, bulkheads, interior panels, dash, tunnel and pedal box cover) and a lovely revvy 1600 Toyota 4AGE engine running on throttle bodies. Spec as follows: Drivetrain: 1600 Toyota 4AGE engine, winged sump, Jenvey throttle bodies, OMEX 500 programmable ecu Type 9 gearbox with ally bellhousing, Sierra LSD rear diff with 3.92 ratio Custom large stainless exhaust silencer (30" long, 6" dia, tested at 92dB @5000rpm) Mocal oil cooler Wheels and suspension: Lightweight Compomotive CXRs with Toyo ZZR semi slicks. Westfield 4-pot front brakes (rebranded Wilwoods I believe), braided brake lines Front anti-roll bar (not currently fitted) Adjustable Gaz shocks all round, with brand new alloy bodied ones just fitted on the rear New springs all round, cornerweighted and set up for 75kg driver Light weight race battery mounted low on the passenger side Interior: Composite bucket seats with carbon inlay on the headrest. Carbon fibre dash Carbon fibre tunnel top and sides Carbon fibre rear bulkhead Carbon fibre footwell bulkheads and tops Carbon fibre scuttle front Carbon fibre pedal box cover Mishimoto white PTFE weighted gearknob Race Technology Dash2 digital dash hooked up to a... Race Technology DL1 GPS datalogger that logs speed, accelerometer, engine parameters etc to CF card and also does predictive lap timing visible on the Dash2. Big oil pressure warning light USB socket on dash Body: Standard SEiW bodywork in British Racing Green gelcoat - showing a few marks commensurate with 27 years of use, but all fundamentally sound and looks great from 10 feet away! Fluoro yellow vinyl nosecone and body stripes (removable, but every schoolboy knows racing stripes add 50bhp so why would you?) RAC rollbar SoftBitsForSevens boot cover It's all been built with an eye for detail and light weight. The engine is a gem, revving to 8000rpm and with great induction noise through the throttle bodies. The geometry and shock set up is great for road, with a good degree of compliance, yet with a couple of clicks on the shocks it stiffens up nicely for track use. The large silencer means that pretty much all tracks in the UK should be accessible - it registered 92dB at 5000rpm at a Lydden Hill track day recently. The car is near Guildford, Surrey. Current MOT runs out on 1 Apr so it will get a fresh MOT before sale. Sure I'll have missed some things so let me know if you have any questions. SOLD

Hi everyone, looking out for my first Westfield. I've got a lot to learn but so far I'm looking for something in the region of SEIW ZK body Zetec or Duratec Throttle bodies LSD Road use British or Westfield Racing Green sub £14k Thank you

Number 20

Books/manuals: 1 - tech forums here 2 - build manuals - also available here 3 - Haynes manual for engine doner 4 - Other manuals for specific components

Another thing to add to the mix are build threads, is there a build thread associated with the car, either on WSCC or hosted somewhere else, if there is then you'll possible learn a lot about how it was built and with some cars how they have been developed.

Hi Euan, so far from what I gather the FW have the modern-looking rear and nostrils up forward. I'm not sure I know what you mean by a 'kit' as opposed to a ZK & FW body. I thought they were all 'kits' ? Edit: found thread on different body types 🤓

Hello everyone ! I introduce myself Adrien, 37 years old, I am in the south west of France near Bordeaux. I have been a lover of the Seven since my childhood and hope to find information see one or more Westi Looking forward to discussing!

You might try KAD fibreglass products as an alternative. There Facebook page is the most active contact I believe

Mark gets very busy and recently took a break from work. Not sure he is back in and running again yet….?

I have a big hammer, it’ll fit 👍

Great reaction from a guy for the first time driving a Westfield

Must've been a Liquid lunch
