Thrills, heritage, and innovation meet on track. We @Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman , @Rob Hunter - Club Secretary & the brand-new Westfield Se.NA R-T at Bicester Heritage for its first public test session, An exclusive opportunity to experience the next chapter of Westfield performance. Back-to-back drives with the legendary SeiW Zetec reminded us just how far we’ve come, while a sneak peek at the upcoming Westfield XV showcased where we’re headed. From the XI that started it all in 1982 to the cutting-edge Se.NA, the spirit of Westfield engineering lives on, faster, sharper, and more refined than ever. I didn't take to many images myself, the occasion was like being in a sweet shop! Big thanks to @Westfield Chesil Limited. Look out for the Magazine articles from the press.

Solo run out to The Motorist this morning, no bacon sarnie though, the queueing was immense. I knew the Cobra club was meeting there, so thought I'd show them up!

Just in case there are any doubters out there- I am still alive, I still have the car, it's still fantastic fun and it still makes me grin stupidly. Even better, my youngest (6) thinks it is better than Alton Towers. "How quickly does the red stick (odo needle) get to 60?" Was today's question. The answer was lost in cackling and shouts of 'make it go faster'!

Hello everybody, just aquired a 2018 factory built AeroRace with Zetec Power. Intend to run it purely for Track Days for my son. Also run a Mx5 Zsport. Pembrey and Llandow are our local circuits, with hopefully excursions further afield as well. Looking forward to benefitting from the knowledge that abounds here and joining in where I can.6 points

A little bit of miscommunication meant that we didn't meet up with Tim for the drive up to GBS, but we met there instead. Both Tim Lawton and Andrew Clarke had to leave early due to other commitments, so that left us and my friend Mark to head to the cafe for lunch. After an excellent lunch, Mark made his own way home in his BMW, whilst we headed out to the 'On Freedom's Wings', Lancaster memorial just off the A46. We took some pics from the viewing point in the nearby road. It looked fantastic in the sunshine!

Hello I'm luke rom north Wales a new member just acquired my first Westfield this week, must say i love it not surer why i haven't had one sooner after owning a variety of cars, i have joined the forum to gather as much information as possible as i don't know an awful lot. the car is a 2001 seiw in green has a red top engine and it goes really well i don't know to much regarding the engine itself i was told its had a fresh build a couple years ago with pistons etc.. and been told it has uprated cams but not sure as he didn't know and no receipts. i look forward to learning about the car and getting out in it next summer its a bad time to get one coming into winter but I'm very impulsive and once ide seen it had to have it5 points

Engine and gearbox out! Was planning on leaving the engine in, but needed a few mm extra to for the gearbox to clear the clutch plate. In the end I pulled it all out. Not the easiest on your own with a trolley jack but got there in the end! Committed now to a full chassis refresh, fix some rust, have a few extra bars welded in, etc etc etcccccccc.... And get rid of the rats nest thats the wiring loom. The list continues to grow!!

I've always used @Howden Insurance - Specialist Vehicle. The Thatcham branch is the most clued up on kit cars. Other companies are available.4 points

Ok, thanks for the education, much appreciated. I don't have a water rail on my blacktop then, but then I don't think it's fittable to mine as I have a turbo in the way? I don't have the plastic thermostat housing either, I've got an aluminium upgraded part.

Give it time, I’ve got faith in your ability to eventually get booted! 👍 Personally, I’m aiming to be the first Life Member to get banned. It’s a matter of timing of course, needs to be when lots of members are here to appreciate it!3 points

Hi Bob, I'm just North of Maldon, Essex - happy to show you around my 1998 widebodied car, or you're welcome to join our regular monthly meet (next one is on Sunday 12th in Battlesbridge, Essex from 9.30 onwards) where we normally have at least 5 cars Cheers Mike3 points

@Martin Bell - (Bellyboy) East Anglia AO will probably know someone close. @Chris Emm is selling his due to a back issue. It is an excellent car and highly maintained. Think it is £10500 based in Worksop but well worth the journey. He isn’t often on this forum so if you are interested, drop me a note and I’ll try and wake him up!! Welcome to the club. Best investment you will ever make. 😁3 points

Yes, pretty much identical block to my ST170 👍 I have the thermostat housing for sale too if you decide to go for it 😉2 points

It neatens up the top hose plumbing bringing it to the front of the engine, and replaces the original plastic thermostat housing which can become brittle with age and crack. Looks pretty, too!2 points

@Hedley Bennett (HB46443) - Club Chairman & @Naranja_Al We all had a great day, it’s is a lovely circuit. I apologise for the for lack of invitation, nothing intended, just didn’t think to put it on here ☹️2 points

Anyone fancy a run out, or meet me there? It’s the final round of the CNC Heads championship and there are two Westfields competing, this a fantastic championship with lots of different classes of cars. The weather forecast looks good, so I will almost certainly be in my Westfield😎

My last 'toy' was a V8 Land Rover with the usual incontinence issues (desert patrol replica)... so I'm well used to the familiar whiff of oil, petrol and exhaust fumes😂 I'm currently looking at ramp options... again, that wasn't such an issue for the Land Rover2 points

Hi, welcome! The usual great advice, so far! It's amazing just how much room can be found in the (now standard) wide body Westfield. (SEiW, or SEW in the old Westfield model names, though FW models are also wide body models, too.) You have a great budget, and while it's harder getting to see different examples at this time of year, it is - for the usual weather reasons, the "best" time of year to buy, price wise, as they're always a little softer priced over Autumn/Winter.2 points

Howden, Lancaster, AiB, all are sponsors or Traders in the WSCC, all understand kit cars, give good service (that sometimes includes beneficial rates to members) and are recommended.2 points

You are probably not too far from MK Sportscars by the sound of it. I would suggest you give them a visit and have a chat, they are very helpful and have loads of cars there of various makes. I'm pretty sure they would let you sit in one or two and have a good look around. Unfortunately I live miles away or I'd be there on a regular basis just for the info I could pick up and no doubt the banter. They have regular open days too so give them a call and arrange to go look around maybe?2 points

This about sums things up for me.... WARNING! I just remembered there is some bad language at the end. Oops. It is the funniest part though 😬2 points

I find that works for me too 😂2 points

Hi and welcome! You have a decent budget, you'll find a number of nice cars about at that price. In terms of you fitting in one, the wide body Westfield is actually very accommodating and just about the largest of the "sevens" for interior space. I'm 6ft5 and "big boned" and have no issues, especially with lowered floors.1 point

Just a follow up to your kind suggestion - I changed the tie rods to enable the "proper fitting" of the rack Thanks so much for that advice. I've also now had the 4 wheel alignment done and ride height adjustment.1 point
