  5. Well after 6 years of probably wanting to sell this car, and a painful divorce looming I'm not sure i can carry on looking at this in my garage anymore, my heart is broken and i think its time someone else started to enjoy this car for what it was built for, just not sure that's me anymore. Spec is huge, to much to list in full, its been upgraded & upgraded for as many years as i could finance, probably the only VEMS efi car in the UK currently, so pretty much a one off, possibly around 330bhp but never been checked, certainly goes and sounds like a true car should, not for the faint hearted or sunday driver types, true adrenalin drive on the seat of your pants type stuff. 1997 "R" reg, built from new car parts, so was a new reg & not "Q", every receipt from new. Thousands of pictures, documents, information to go with the car, every spare part i have also. Its been the love of my life, a passion, sleepless nights, long work shifts and bl**** hard work, but something i wanted to do. Only serious offers above £14500, I've had a certified valuation done on the car and no tests drives unless you are serious. Current MOT test would be included in the sale, and i will take some better pictures once i have time & the sun is out.

  13. Changed the bonnet latches to nice shiny new black ones. Satisfying result for an all yellow / black car. Just have to work out now how to get the rivet bodies out from inside the tub / trim gap as will probably rattle about.

  16. Final details for this trip on Saturday 18th April. PAYMENT The WSCC has agreed to part fund this visit for members and their immediate family, therefore the cost will be £10 per person, payable on the day. I have had confirmation that payments can be made by card or cash. TIMINGS We are required to be there at 1.15pm, for the 1.30pm visit start. It is expected to last for approximately 2.5 hours, with the group photo towards the end of the visit. LUNCH It is my intention to arrive sometime around 11.15 to 11.30am in order to grab an early lunch/late breakfast prior to the visit. You are free to arrive just in time for the visit or join us at the Touchdown Cafe. However, the cafe can be very busy, so there may be delays for food and the cafe parking may be difficult, as it is not very big and is usually full of cars and motorcycles. PARKING The location of the Vulcan is at South Warwickshire Flying School, Loxley Lane, Wellesbourne, Mountford Aerodrome, Warwick CV35 9EU. On arrival, turn right to park on the grass area as shown below. There is plenty of parking there and we are allowed to park there in the morning whilst we walk down to the cafe, also shown below. Hopefully I've covered all the things you need to know, but if you have any questions, please message me. Look forward to seeing you all there.

  25. I've lost my usual MOT tester. I'm now booked into another local independent tomorrow at 0900. Very nervous haha. I did take the family bus a little while back though to try and start building a regular MOT test relationship. I'm also testing the water before me old man books his Locost in at the same place. I've a new Cat, new lambda, reset valve gaps and new plugs, since the last test. Fingers crossed for a pass.

  32. I take mine to my local garage in Crossford; he does my cars but he doesn't give them any leniency. To be honest I'd take it to an independent local to you that you have or can build up some sort of relationship with. D

  33. I’m about to advertise my SEiGHT, so will endeavour to give you a call over the weekend. But in short, it’s an historically significant one, being one of the very first, and factory built for the Westfield marketing manager, Tim Coventry, in 1993. He sold it shortly afterwards to a mutual friend, from whom I purchased it. So only 3 owners, and only 4000 miles from new. In British Racing Green, with black interior. It had been in dry storage for about 20 years when I bought, so I’ve had it extensively recommissioned over the last 5 years, with most recent job being the fitment of updated four-pot brakes. So the brakes are now a match for the power (260 bhp). Can come with plenty of parts/options, as I have two full hoods for it, a half hood, and a tonneau. Plus doors, at least two roll bars, two sets of wheels, and a covered trailer. Looks the part, sounds the part, goes the part! Feel free to give me a call on 07774 444241, if it might be the one for you.

  42. So the time is approaching when my daughter will turn 17. I sacrificed my ‘daily RS3’ to be able to buy the Westfield and bought a cheap run around to get me to work and back. When my daughter turns 17 she will begin her driving journey and I will give her my run about, but this means I will need to have a new daily. I can’t justify having 4 cars at home, nor do I have the space, so reluctantly I’m listing my Westy for sale. I’m in absolutely no rush to sell and will continue to enjoy it. It is sitting there in perfect form waiting for me / you. The car is currently on my own registration, but upon agreeing a sale it will go back to its age related 2010 '10' plate. Before I get into spec, the main things to note are, this car comes with a Brian James Minno trailer, fitted with tyre rack and tool / jerry can box. It also comes with its road wheels Comp CXR’s and a set of track wheels which are TD 1.2, both in 13” wearing R888. I have some spares to go with the car such as the standard rear arches, some bushes etc, a new set of LED head lights and a few other bits and pieces. The car wants for nothing! It will come with 12 months MOT ( its due in April ). It’s the perfect road legal track package. I was a Technician for Audi / Mercedes for 20 years before moving out the trade to make all your beer / cider £ soft drinks cans, so I'd like to think I'm qualified to say this is a faultless car. It drives so well on the road, the gear change is the best manual I've ever used, and the noise this thing makes is to awesome. I've never driven anything quite like it. I've never managed to make it understeer, even on track, the grip is phenomenal. It's ballistic in a straight line aswell with 230 BHP and weight 572 KG which gives it a power to weight ratio of 402 BHP / Tonne Any questions or enquires, please don’t hesitate to ask. It’s easiest to get me on whatsapp or text 07590 573507, But I do log on WSCC quite often. So on to the car. The car is built on a 2010 Aerorace chassis power by a Zetec blacktop that was brand new at build date, the most recent rolling road graph I have shows 232bhp at the flywheel and 212bhp at the wheels Full Specification 2010 Aerorace chassis with removable rear arches (chassis marginally lighter and stiffer than the road chassis of the same period) fully road legal and the same dimensions as the standard SEIW. 14K miles It will have 12 months MOT 572 KG with ½ a tank of fuel Engine .Built in 2010 with new Zetec Blacktop .Head ported and polished by CNC heads and matched with their specification cam. Following this link ( http://www.cncheads.co.uk/?p=755 ) takes you to the website the tuner provides on this head and cam combination for more info, extrapolating the power claims CNC make ( 215bhp @ 6400rpm and 247 bhp @ 8200rpm) to the 7500rpm limit on this car fairly accurately supports the claimed power output on this engine. .Arrow engineering buckets .ARP rod bolts .Balanced and polished crank .Standard Zetec flywheel machined and lightened by CNC Heads .Raceline sump .Omex 600 ECU .Jenvey throttle bodies .Bosch green injectors .Simpson Race Exhausts aluminium manifold 4 into 2 into 1 ( http://simpsonraceexhausts.com/manifolds/ ) .Westfield carbon silencer .Bespoke breathers all feeding into a aluminium catch tank in the nose cone, although very little oil ever gets blown into the tank. .Most importantly lots of time and effort spent mapping the engine. Despite it's relatively high state of tune it starts easily hot or cold, idles nicely and is generally very drivable with no grumpiness or nasty flat spots. In the interest of longevity the limiter is set at 7500 rpm at which point the power curve is still climbing. It also makes some lovely burbles and pops on the overrun. .Centroid fuel sender which gives a better accurate fuel level reading. .Brand new black Aluminium race radiator from Radtec with 60mm core and Aerorace ducting ( http://radtec.co.uk/products/331/Vauxall-Ford-Cosworth.htm ) This was found to be leaking last year due to the wrong coolant, I had a new one made by them and used the correct coolant. .Custom pipe work and thermostat housing which ensures this car never has the cooling issues some Zetec Westfield suffer from, coolant temp is rock solid in both traffic and in hard use on track .Custom carbon fibre air duct to radiator Drivetrain .Helix fast road clutch .Rebuilt Cossi 3.92 LSD, no clunks or play and locks up nicely but not too aggressively. BGH E8 type 9 gearbox. Ratios and price listed in the following link, this is the strongest and most expensive 'box BGP supply ( http://www.bghgeartech.co.uk/html/5_speed.html ). The ratios suit the engine very well with a usefully long first and 5th geared to a theoretical max of about 140mph. (Ratios are 2.66/1.75/1.26/1.00/0.86) Chassis .Standard Aerorace chassis with associated extra bracing in comparison to same era road chassis, this car does not have lowered floors. .Protech single adjustable shocks valved and setup by Procomp in Birmingham along with a full geometry setup, car runs with a reasonable amount of negative camber and some toe out at the front which gives a pretty sharp turn it, understeer isn't really something it understands! .Anti roll bars are fitted to the front and rear .13 inch Compomotive CXR wheels in black with medium compound Toyo R888R in 205/50/13. .Rallydesign Quickrack and sort steering arms fitted. Unlike some of the so called 'quickrack' setups I've seen this gives a real two turns lock to lock with the arches almost touching the tub on both sides on full lock, ie it's a genuine quick rack, not the version Westfield sell which is far from it and gives a terrible turning circle. .Westfield alloy uprights both front and rear. .Westfield widetrack front wishbones. .Rapfix quick release steering boss has been fitted with a momo suede Mod.26 wheel .Braking is a full AP racing setup including master cylinder and front and rear callipers. Fitted with Ferodo DS2500 pads and a brake bias adjuster. .The car (in my opinion) drives beautifully, it's pointy, intuitive and hugely predictable but the setup is still relatively soft which means it's eminently useable as a road car with sensible ground clearance and great compliance while still being blisteringly quick on track. Other Bits .Track prepared 13 inch ProRace 1.2 wheels in black with medium compound Toyo R888R in FRONT 185/50/13 REAR 205/50/13. .Floor mounted Westfield padded race seats with 4 point Westfield harness for passenger and in date FIA 6 point harness for driver. ( This is currenyl4 point, but can be reverted back to 6 point & drivers seat is on sliding rail ) .Momo 280 suede steering wheel .FIA approved Caged Roll Cage with homologation sticker. New plumbed in Lifeline2020 fire extinguisher system. Lifeline FIA rain light which is wired to additionally act as fog light for MOT purposes. FIA approved battery cut off switch (which doubles up as a good security addition.

It's got a great spec and, much more importantly, it's been really carefully built by someone who knew what they were doing and had both the time and cash available to do the job properly. I don't have to sell it but it will make life easier getting my daughter into a decent car and me into a useable everyday car ( TTRS hopefully ) I’m looking for £22,000 for everything. Thank you for reading.
