After not having the best couple of weeks this arrived today Nothing like abit of black gold to lighten the mood 😍 I best get that autoclave fired up got some orders to do Stay lucky

Interesting to see, expensive isn't always the best!

Two not so small upgrades: Replaced the fairly useless Mazda LSD with this: And fitted the PX600-box. Really lowered the noise which was the main point.

Good to know the chinese Helicoil are as good as the branded stuff, as I've used them on the whole exhaust side of the 1.8t cylinder head 😄 Nice video comparison btw

kit-race-car love it !

They should be super bright white light like the ones I recently fitted to my megablade I took a punt at 40 quid for the pair brilliant lights halo side or drl doubles as indicator best 40 quid I've spent in a long time and they went through mot.

Spot the Westfield in this photo 😉 :

Fingers crossed and maybe blow some dust off. Bob

Took a punt on these, e-marked, amusing Chinglish instructions! Testing them on Thursday Cheshire club meet

I've been in contact with a couple of others that live in the area and we are going to have a trial meeting. Although I am calling it the Wiltshire meeting I want to try and fill the gap between Surrey, South Hampshire, Dorset and Bristol. We have decided to go to a local pub between Romsey and Andover called the Mayfly which is just outside Stockbridge. I don't think the pub would appreciate 100's of kit cars turning up without notice but if anyone else is interested in coming along let me know. Thanks, Steve.

Piece of mind

Got the local garage to replace the timing belt as I had no idea how old it was and for all I knew it could be original. It didn't look 16 years old but it was a Ford branded part so who knows? D

I love videos like this , great find

Hope you get sorted Quinten 🙏

I’m going to be there with work! Not 100% certain on the full list of cars we’re taking but so far: 3x 1952/3 Cooper Bristols a 1955 Lister Bristol a 1965 Lotus Elan 26R an Ex-Jack Brabham Cooper T43 an Ex-Bruce McLaren Cooper T53 an Ex-Graham Hill Lotus 15 If any more come about, I’ll update the list!

@Kingster I’ve managed to get a infield pass for my “Westus” as well 😂

Car buckets! Did you manage to use 25 mins?

Not many tracks in Poland, so such mix of autocross and track (cones etc instead of always the same track line as on normal car tracks). I like this Autodrom Jastrząb , good sticky surface, not top fast hotel and parking few metres from start(cold shower between sessions on hot day! ) .. but yes. Have to drive there from home approx 3-3.5 hrs with trailer .

Best post of the week IMHO 🤣

My history is full of horrific reliability, a few car crashes, being seduced by looks over function, massive expense, and desperately high levels of maintenance..... Oh, I forgot we were talking about cars for a moment! 😂

RallyDesign do Wilwood Midilite kits, with brackets for fitment to Westfield aluminium uprights.

Mine's burned into my memory VW Beetle - I can still disassemble and reassemble one in the dark Ford Escort - 4 door 1.1 engine - not one of the good ones Ford Capri - you were never sure if it was going to go through the hedge backwards or forwards Mini - fond memories of bypass hoses Triumph TR 7V8 - used to eat front wheel bearings for some reason; made me loathe pop up headlights Seat Ibiza - pre VW days; easily the most unreliable car I've ever owned and I've owned some right ****boxes Mini Metro - burst into flames one day UVA Fugitive - even less practical than a westie Ford Fiesta - bought it with Barclaycard points; cracking car; ran it into the ground Mini Moke - bizarrely went fantastically well in the snow while simultaneously being totally impractical for the snow Scimitar SS1 - underrated flying machine with the endearing habit of the front wishbones falling apart while driving at speed Land Rover Series 2 lightweight - I've had cars that let in water in through the roof but this is the only one that let water in through the floor - burst into flames one day (another Rover - coincidence?) Porsche 968 - easily the most reliable car I've ever owned Smart Car - I think the engine recalls got into double figures Mazda MX5 - fantastic car but turned into a brown doily Audi A3 - not worth anything but won't die Westie 😁

Currently investigating a dead AUU 1040 PIC (ignition) module out of a Morgan. Apparently this version is very rare. Hard to imagine a Maestro/Montego engine part being rare, but they didn’t make many of these specific ones it seems. I might be onto the fault….will post a follow up when the new chip arrives and I've tested it. Fingers crossed. Had to find the Arduino Uno I’d programmed up with ‘Ardustim’, a crank & cam signal generator. Remarkable what things are out there, for free. Pretty sure I’d have struggled to program that myself!!
