Don't tell me you have forgotten about the £50 I loaned to you at Stoneleigh too. David

Well the works is coming along.

Hey, friction is sometimes good ;-) Where would we be without clutch plates, brake pads and sticky tyres!

A couple of details. 1. A proper track day westfield with an F20 engine and with the right gearbox can be sub 460klgs. 2. The blue ex 'Mickmade' car in road going trim weighed 474klgs with a splash of fuel , water and the right amount of oil, give or take a kilo That included 52 klgs of rims and tyres. So I'm told.

Thought I'd better give an update.... Unfortunately not enough members partook of a couple of beers, especially some that weren't competing! The first half barrel was drunk dry and the profit towards Hope Against Cancer of £20.50 The 2nd half barrel was still around 2/3rd full, so I've tasked a mate with gaining funds to help the cause at his Caving Club meet this coming weekend. I'll update on here as soon as I have a total donation, and forward the final funds raised to Delboy

I've just gone to the kitchen and made a brew. Took it into lounge, chatted to Beth for 2 mins. Went into kitchen, made a brew. Then was confused why i had two.

BCF got the numbers right in the 2nd post There's a lot of carbon, some one-off stuff, and a home built stroker engine. Not sure what track days are like in France, but IMO that would be way too fast to enjoy on a track day. Even 400bhp/ton and a half decent driver in a kit car and you very rarely get a clear lap...

Fixed that for you Chris.

Let's not forget that a standard F20c engine is about 225bhp give or take abit and not 240.

100% on over line.3 wheels off before the line.

Well at least the alternator is charging now... We need to sort your megajolt asap!

Thats why we love them (!)

You didn't

Not wanting to cause any friction but it's probably best not to throw around unconfirmed figures from manufacturers, they tend to be a tad on the unrealistic side.

At least you remembered why you went into the kitchen in the first place.

Are you sure? those are low figures even for a car with a much lighter engine and gearbox, like a Duratec/Type 9 and with a few weight saving options, such as gel battery, aeroscreen, lightweight seats. An S2000 gearbox for example is getting on for 20 kg more than a Type 9! While the engine, though aluminium, is big and complicated and, ahem, heavy! (You can loose around 17 kg from it by swapping to throttle bodies, a lightweight alternator and an electric water pump). I was under the impression that most of the Mega S2000's were the wrong side of 600 kg, and in full touring/road trim, quite a bit the other side!

Hi Geoff, Just a quick thank you. Tonneau arrived today, very pleased. Next step is to find out how lucky (or not!) we got with the placement of the poppers Cheers Chris

My old man had one, its got the stopping power of a ship at the best of times!

For all of you who have joined the club recently, or for members who haven't attended a local area meeting close to you yet, the interactive map of who, when and where is regularly updated and is available here (click below): Map of Local Area Meetings & Organiser Contact Details or See the Area Meetings Layer in the Member Map here Your local area meetings are a great place to meet other Westfield owners and WSCC members in your own area, and build a network that will pay dividends when you need help and advice. In addition, many local areas organise special events such as scenic runs, track days, nights out and lots of other things to help you enjoy your Westfield to the maximum. The area organisers, who are all volunteers, do a fantastic job and love nothing more than big numbers and happy groups - get out there and support them to support you. I've given them a list with the names and email addresses of the members in their area so they can keep you in the loop. One last thing - the area organisers have a master list I've created for them, so they can update all their own details if and when necessary so we can update the web page. If at some point you find the information on this page is wrong, and it's the fault of the AO for not updating it, the members have the right to call their AO a ruttish shard-borne strumpet, and to challenge them to a fish-slapping dance (you may have the large fish):
