Thanks to the generous support of the members. I am currently boxing each mug or mugs ready for safe transportation. Hoping to have completed this by the end of the week having sold them much faster than anticipated. Monday Tuesday deliveries I would expect. ATB Hedley.9 points

Just before Christmas I fitted my new header tank: I had to cut the old connecting hose off and fit a new one: I had to order a new hose clamp which arrived the next day. Then my mother came down with some sort of norovirus thing and my wife came down with flu. Just as they were getting themselves sorted out I came down with some sort of lurgi as well. But, today, I finally got the hose clamp fitted: It only took three weeks 🫣 David3 points

We will be visiting the Anderton Boat Lift on the 17th May. We will have a display area reserved for our Westfields, there is a nice cafe for breakfast and canal boat rides are available if you fancy something a bit more leisurely. Please let me know if you can attend so we can ensure we have enough spaces reserved. Anderton Boat Lift, Lift Lane, Anderton, Northwich, Cheshire, CW9 6FW.3 points

Just took delivery of the following Pipercross filter to replace the old K&N filters that the car had on it. Managed to find one with the same dimensions as the K&Ns so I don't have to go cutting up the bonnet haha. Has not taken me long to start changing things up, only picked the car up just before xmas.3 points

After 12 years of ownership I have decided to sell my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX 2.0 U.K. car. Owned by me since November 2013 and before that by another WSCC member. Approx 96500 miles, used initially as a second car and then more recently as third to my BRZ. Large file of receipts, never welded since I’ve had it and not before as far as I’m aware. In recent years most of the mileage has been done driving between car shows. I have not modified the car in any way as I prefer to keep them as standard, although the previous owner did tell me when I bought it that this has a Prodrive back box fitted. Being a 2004 car this also falls into the cheaper road tax bracket. I have always kept on top of any maintenance and major jobs completed over the 12 years I’ve owned it. The Clutch was replaced shortly after I bought the car and the timing belt last year at the same time as the last service and MoT which was at 96552 miles, the transfer box has been rebuilt with new seals and bearings at 82000 miles and a new alternator and battery was fitted at 95014 miles, 6 months MOT till July 2026. The Airbag recall has been done by Subaru in 2016. Large file of receipts for servicing and MoT’s going back to 2007. Like all Impreza’s do at some time in their life this does have a parasitic battery drain from the tracker. Despite my best efforts I’ve not managed to find where it is so I can disconnect it, but I keep the car plugged into a charger when not being driven. The car is fitted with a tow-bar but I still have the brackets which fit behind the rear bumper should you wanted to remove the tow bar and refit these. I will be sorry to see the car go but as I am now working from home it’s difficult to justify owning this and two other cars and in the last year I only covered 100 miles. £6750 or very near offers. I am located in Fordham to the North West of Colchester and viewings are possible most days. Caveat emptor: I am a private seller and not an expert, therefore photos and descriptions are my opinion and provided solely for guidance purposes. it is recommended that prospective buyers carry out a full inspection prior to purchase for your own peace of mind and verification of accuracy.

As per the first post, please note tonight’s meet is cancelled. I’ve spoken to a few local members over the course of the afternoon who don’t want to risk it, and while the weather here in Sandbach is just cold and damp at the moment, once you start getting out on to the minor roads, specially round the venue, it could get a bit tricky later on, by the time we’d all normally be leaving. If anyone near enough fancies it, perhaps one evening next week, a few of us more local might get together for a pint at the George, in Sandbach (where we meet up before the Christmas Curry).2 points

<IK> Harnesses now sold. I've upgraded to J K Seats and some 3" harnesses, hence I've got these available. 3D printed clips are included to prevent you being slapped by your own straps! 4 point black harness Note not all the mounting hardware will be provided as shown, you'll need to buy the 4 lower waist belts strap bolts to fasten to the chassis. I will provide the top hat washers though. You may also need some spacers-spacers I will included these though- Buckle covers & these-Eye bolt The new price is currently- £100 for the pair. Either collection from Stoke-on-Trent (or a Peak meet) or I'll post at your cost. Alternatively I'm generally in my office in Manchester (M20 2UR) on a Tuesday. My seats are identical to these-Sport Turbo- Black with white piping and includes the adjustable runners fitted too- runners They're certainly not as new as they've served me well for 9 years and have been used in all weathers. Hence they may need refurbishment and there are signs of rust as shown on the pictures below. There is a small tear in the driver’s seat from my IVA tester’s keys which were clipped to his belt. I’ve had quotes to repair it and have ignored it so far as you don’t see it when your driving 😄 Driver's Seat- New they would cost- Passenger seat I'll take £800 for them as they are. They will pass IVA. I'd prefer not to post due to size/weight and difficulty packing them. Hence collection only from Stoke-on-Trent or I'm generally in my office in Manchester (M20 2UR) on a Tuesday.1 point

A favour in future please Ash - once you’ve sold something, can you please edit the topic of the post and add in the word “SOLD” (like I did for you) so that with a glance everyone knows and doesn’t have to read the advert to find out? Thanks.1 point

Westfield Seight, V8 Less than 3 yrs old, and has only done 1200 miles. Kit purchased in 2007 by an elderly gentleman who never built it, I purchased it in 2016, and it went through IVA in 2022 having spent 6 years building it to a very high standard. It was issued with a new 22 plate and went through IVA 1st time. Always garaged and has never seen a drop of rain. No doubt one of the last Seights to be registered. Just had 1st MOT (3rd Jan 2026). This car has been built by myself with a ‘no compromise on quality’ approach. As you can see by the specification, I’ve only used the highest quality components. The engine block used was also one of the last units that came off the production line and as such is one of the most reliable blocks rover produced. I have a ton of history, folders and receipts for the car, which will all go to the new owner. The engine has been correctly mapped and has been designed for drivability, the car is incredibly smooth and ballistically fast, but at the same time easy to drive. The aeroscreen is surprisingly good at keeping the wind off, and it rides beautifully thanks to a full NMS geo set up. Just had an oil and filter change (Valvoline Vr1) Will come with a Laptop that has preloaded software to control the Canems ECU (should you every want to remap), DASH 2 (can be completely re-configured), Freewheel configuration Car will be MOT’ed before sale and comes with a set of spare keys. Please, no time wasters or silly offers, the money will be going towards another future build (but not this year). But if you do want to own what is no doubt one of the best Westfield V8’s out there, then message me if interested.

Testing the waters to see if there is interest in my XI, sad to say am selling because getting in and out is proving to be a major problem and so driving hours have been much diminished. I will get some additional photos and details in a few days, but its fully running, managed to do a single Track Day this summer and the car is fully sorted and comes with a bunch of spare parts. Materially upset about taking this course of action, but I don’t have a Museum and none of my kids drive a stick shift. Purchased off BaT in 2021 and got it sorted and ready to track and drive on nice roads. Will probably put it on BaT in the New Year if I can’t sell through the Forum. Would like to get $42,500.00 for the car. Send me a pm to discuss or reply here and I will get back to you.1 point

Just a quick heads up to our fellow member @Rednop1. After thinking for quite a while, in May I've pulled the plug and messaged Ash to order a carbon bonnet and nose. It was a difficult request for him, as the lot needed to be shipped over to Italy, and I can tell you, it's not easy to ship such large parts outside the UK post-Brexit. He kindly agreed, and two days ago those beauties showed up at my house: They were packed like nothing else I've ever bought, could have been around the world a few times without getting a single scratch. He even messaged me a couple of months ago about my bonnet which was ready, however it showed a small imperfection, and he offered me a discount or to redo the part if I wasn't in a hurry. Top guy, top parts and top service. Couldn't ask for more.1 point
