Toby Buckland’s Flower Show, Powderham Castle, Devon

Parked at Quackers ready for the Peaks run out, doors refitted while I still have them for sale (might as well it was cold as!) still loving the 13’s

Easily park your Westfield between the lines. What’s best all three bays only cost a single ticket!

pre-meet at Podimore Services before heading off for the Haynes Breakfast Club opening at 0800……

Run up to the Cat n Fiddle this morning, a tad cold must wrap up better.

We all met at Quacker's cafe and because the sun was out it was warm enough to sit outside. Parked at Quacker's We went on a drive through the Peak District on remarkably quiet roads, up high, with great views in the cool, clear air. The sunshine accentuating the scenery, it was glorious and I must thank all you great drivers for keeping the convoy together all the while. Parked at the Traveller's Rest, Bradwell Lunch inside at The Traveller's Rest, it was freezing by now as the clouds rolled in Jake, missing from the previous pic More food required so we went down to The Pavillion, Baslow Parked at The Pavillion Cake arrived Inside The Pavillion, far too cold to sit outside Another fantastic day out in our great little cars and another quiet Bank Holiday in the Peak District, can't believe our luck. Thank you to everyone for joining us today and see you all soon x

Mystery box #2 has arrived 😎 All set now for the trip we will be uploading sat nav routes in due course and also setting up a WhatsApp group for tour members so we can all keep in communication before, during and after the trip 👍

Nice little impromptu Essex meet to take advantage of the lovely weather 😎

Well I’ve managed to get an engineers report from a Vauxhall specialist that dates the engine at 1990 so no cat needed. I’ve also just had a reply back from DVSA who have confirmed this would be enough proof of the age of the engine! So I’m gonna take this to the test station soon… I will update on progress! Hopefully with an MOT pass!

Pap shots from the Haynes Breakfast meet 😊. Photographic evidence that a chubby bloke really can fit in a narrow Westie….. just 🤣

You will be needing one of these ! Available for collection at Malvern 😎

Thank you @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative for a great run around the peaks ( I know you really wanted a lie in 😴) another fantastic day with like minded friends taking in the scenery and eating lovely food, see you all soon luv Andy & Becky All in a straight line !!!! doing as were told 🫡 following the leader out of Quackers quiet roads and blue sky then back down to the trees have fun drive safe , till next time

Good meet at Haynes Breakfast Club this morning. We met at Podimore before driving in for 8am. A total of twelve WSCC cars there from Dorset, Devon, Somerset and the chaps down from Surrey area too. Plenty of exotica in the paddock and main car park areas. Was quite warm when the sun shone, and the bacon rolls were good! Big shout out to @markat for making the 1 hr 40 min trek from Okehampton in somewhat chilly conditions, especially with aeroscreen!

First run out in months - new ecu fitted and aeroscreen sorted. Shakedown before mapping a week on monday

Coffee run with Q-jr

Last run out before leaving again for work

Many thanks Julie again for a great day out x we even got papped going back through Chatsworth.

Some fun at Caslte Combe last monday. Good first track outing with the car, few improvements to be made!

With one thing and another, this was my first outing of the year. Jez, how I've missed it 😃

My 1st attempt at polishing stainless steel. The manifold was all the dark tarnished colour before and the silencer pipe and end cap weren't quite so bad. Started with 120 grit and moved through to 2500 grit before polishing. About 7 hours in total to complete.

We have our map ready.

Spotted@Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and Glen on last Friday's Millionaire Horders programme on Channel 4.

It was great meet up. Here’s an uncluttered shot of the 4 paddock Westies….

No sign of the map reader though !!!! Under the table probably 🤣

That’s a huge understatement - in my view, for any competitive event, it is essential not advisable to replace the “jap” (aka chocolate) cosmetic roll bar with something that would actually save your life in the event of a rollover.

... I think @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somersetis taking orders for seats/padding. I'm pretty sure his come in for less than £400 a side.

I did, probably the best location to have it installed in my car, away from the heat soak of the engine bay. Entirely designed in CAD by myself, then built by ProAlloy to the exact spec.

Ny500 and the motorist this morning

The Wench getting her first proper outing of the year with a trip in warm sunshine to my favourite pub in Stratford on Avon. New front shocks providing a better ride. Roll on for Malvern and good weather!

Make your mind up.

Best way to save weight for sure, not the cheapest tho 🤣 But I can vouch for Ash's parts quality, gorgeous stuff. Surely the best Westfield carbon parts money can buy.

Afternoon all, Pains me to do this but the time has come to sell the Westfield. Life and other commitments has meant that (other than taking it out for pictures yesterday) it's only really been out of the garage for MOT's in the last 2 years 😔 I bought the car back in 2020, starting life as a 1999 SEiW with a 2L Zetec engine, since then it's had a full chassis up rebuild and S2000 engine/gearbox fitted. I'll list a spec below but the build diary will give the full picture: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/140363-1999-seiw-refresh-f20c-install/ MOT renewed today, expires 15th May 2026 Less than 1,000miles since it's rebuild (was at 14,880 when I put it back on the road, currently sitting at 15,765) Engine - 1999 F20c w. 94,881 miles when fitted - Oil jet bolt upgrade (common early F20c issue) - Baffled sump - Rallydesign Engine Mounts - ARF Alloy Oil Catch Can - 4x New Denso Coilpacks - OMEX 630 ECU (Mapped by Russ @ Mac Motorsport - 228.5bhp // 155.6ft.lbs) Gearbox - S2000 Gearbox (same mileage as engine) - Flywheel skimmed - Compbrake Clutch Master Cylinder - Sierra 3.91 Non-LSD Rear Diff. - Prop. Shaft fabricated by Propshaft Services in Bonnybridge Exhaust - Westfield Exhaust Manifold - Westfield Decat Secondary - Wunoff Repack Backbox (I have a backbox w. CAT for MOT) Cooling - 55mm Coolex Alloy Radiator - V8 Fan - ARF Alloy Expansion Tank Fuel - Baffled Fuel Tank w.

Luso Motors padding - TRS Harnesses - VDO Odometer - Revotec 10k Rev Counter - VDO Oil Temperature Gauge - VDO Oil Pressure Gauge - VDO Water Temperature Gauge - VDO Fuel Gauge - 300mm Suede Steering Wheel Carbon - Front wheel arches - Tunnel top - Bootlid - Dashboard - Kick Strips - Scuttle - Pedal Cover - Elbow Strips - Rear Bulkhead Bodywork - The bodywork isn't perfect, I purposely chose not to have all the imperfections fixed and painted when I rebuilt the car, I was scared OCD would stop me taking it out on track if I did. - Everything is presentable (as you can see from the pics), bodywork cleaned inside & out, inner wings of the tub painted black, some parts of the bonnet strengthened with carbon etc. but there are some wee cracks here and there (drivers rear arch, some marks on the nose cone) Embarrassed to say I only managed the one track day 🫢 was a good chance to put the car through it's paces and it did flush out a couple of small issues: - couple of starter motor bolts came loose, slightly longer bolts installed and torqued - fuel starvation on right handers, fuel pump has now been moved lower to underneath the diff. cradle - grease spraying from the prop. shaft, had Propshaft Services regrease it with high-temp. grease Not had a chance to get it back out on track and confirm that lowering the fuel pump has done the trick, but not had any issues with it on the road. Hard to put a price on this to be honest, especially when the only other S2000 Westfield's I could find for sale is a factory built one at Toybox for £28,995 and a Supercharged one on eBay for £32,000 😮 Let's try £24,000 ono. I know how much I have in the car and I'd be looking to get that back, so there is some wiggle room there to make a deal. I will caveat that I'm not in any rush to sell...happy to let it sit in the garage for another year than accept a low ball offer just to get rid.

It's a chargecooler tank with a footrest plate, sized to go into the passenger footwell 😊

Hi! I'm sorry I completely forgot to report back. In short: it was brilliant and I had a fab time. Disclaimer first: my car is an absolute weapon driven by an absolute tool. I have not done any track days before - the few laps around Castle Combe I did in an Impreza and an Elise some years ago don't really count. So I have nothing to compare my experience to. The track was smooth to me in some sections and fairly rough concrete and tarmac in others. There was a lot of loose stuff in some parts for half the day - until multiple passes cleared it. At least one car ended up with a stone chip/small crack in the windscreen. The layout had mostly quite tight turns and one fast sweeper which also switched to off-camber halfway through. This one provided a great learning opportunity for me and I committed more and more throughout the day. It's an airfield so some will miss the elevation changes (corkscrew :-)) and I am sure I'll crave it. However, having nothing to hit and less to deal with was perfect for a beginner. There were 20 people in total - sold out - and probably only ever about 10 on track at the same time. This allowed me to drive my own thing for most of the time. Plus easy passing and - ahem - ample opportunity to let faster traffic overtake. The staff were friendly, relaxed yet totally professional. The atmosphere among the punters the same. I loved it and I am hoping to return later this year. If you have any questions please just ask!

Good one Steve, a great photo from Vicki here too

I have an aero screen, my teeth were chattering for a while but serves me right for not wearing enough layers! Great to meet some new westy owners. I had to make the trip as Stu promised me a bacon roll. I'd drive anywhere for one of those 😋

We would love to, but we are over 800 miles away😂

We should be there

When you've a free day, nice weather and a westfield! 110 mile round trip for lunch 😋
