🎉 Celebrating 40 Years of WSCC! 🎉 To celebrate 40 years of the Westfield Sports Car Club, members are invited to purchase a special commemorative 40th Anniversary mug ☕. This limited-edition keepsake is a great way to mark the Club’s milestone and show your WSCC pride 🏁. Full details and ordering information can be found in the Club Store 🛒 Or via the link below. Mugs available here👇 https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/store/product/205-commemorative-40th-anniversary-mug/

Also to add….car had its first MOT today, flew through with no advisories…emissions were absolutely spot on…

I have a MT75 2.4 transit gearbox, available foc, has noisy input bearing, may be of some use to somebody. Bolts direct to Duratec engine, and takes the Westfield gearlever extension. Collection only from CW11.

That's one ordered...good idea. it would be nice to have a 40 year anniversary sticker for the back of the westtie...the mug might fall off the boot of the car...😄

As any properly trained husband knows, the 40th anniversary is ruby, hence the new colour for this year is ruby red. Red is also the best colour for a Westfield, contrary to what some might say… 😛

Got this for Christmas

Received refurbished shocks for my track Westfield from https://www.thunderlane.eu . I bought the car in 2018, with a few years of history before that, and I think the shocks had never been overhauled. They got new bearings, thinner valves for a lightweight car, new bump stops, etc. They were dyno tested (I don’t understand those diagrams at all 😕, but I was assured they were matched in pairs). I’m really curious whether I’ll feel the difference. When they were “new” ( I mean after few seasons in Westfield Cup NL , and on some endurance challenges (got few broken wishbones with that car ) , even on the softest settings the car was quite darty. Hopefully this effort and the expense — will be noticeable 🙂 Edit – oh, and I had my springs measured: front (RED) 60 N/mm, rear (BLACK) 40 N/mm. Not sure if this is right or wrong, but at least I now have a baseline if I learn which way to go softer or stiffer at the front or rear in the future.

Our regular meet day falls on New Years Day this year, so we've postponed it a week, to the 8th Jan. As usual, the Golden Pheasant, around 7pm if eating, else 7.30pm

@DannyTGS well done for fixing your brake lights after @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO commented on them on Sunday 🤣 he will be pleased to know I’ve put new bulbs in Becky’s car as well 😜 so that just leaves @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative !!!! Has Glen fixed them yet ? I should hope so …. his got more time on his hands than the rest of us 🤔

Was a great day, the batteries in my gloves died literally 1/4mile from home so couldn't have timed it better, I have a link cable to run from the car battery so will have to figure that out next time, Socks worked a treat too ♨️ The DRL's looked smart, I've LED headlamps to fit too but i need the buckets for them but mine are budget non DRL's haha

A great day out as usual and thanks to @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative keeping us on nice lightly trafficked roads. Good to meet @DannyTGS today. How were my new DLR's in your mirrors today? I've often thought about taking this pic as I pass it in and out of the peaks. Today I remembered and made it happen. As I was taking a Selfie. @Darren Harvey (not in his Westie) stopped to ask If I was Bagpuss! Stay tuned to find out how I replied! Have a great New Year All!

Yellow clashes with orange so it will have to be 🍊 🟧 this colour

I have officially joined you all, very very happy new owner of a megablade, Im in kent and am hoping to get out and meet up as much as i can.

Prepared to be bored... First, glad you like the overall colour scheme. which I think suits the 40th anniversary theme. It took a good deal of tinkering to get it looking that smart. It was the shade of red that seemed to work best across the range of things overall. Second, thanks for pointing out the slight issues. I can see a few more minor ones that I couldn't see until it went live, which I'll get to at some point. With regards to this: It now looks like this: The main problem is the colour of the numbers you circled will always be the same as the colour of the text under the title of the post, in the case "By Hedley Bennett". They cannot be separated. You can see in your example that this colour was a light grey, making it difficult to spot against a white or dark red background, as does black against a dark red bar. The only thing to do was to make the bar colour contrasting yellow (which will satisfy certain members!) and make the text colour for that bar and the indicated text black. I can assure you that was a LOT easier said than done, as there are thousands of colour variations backstage, many of which are labelled in an incomprehensible manner, that have to be tested one by one to see if they make a difference and revert them back if they do not, one by one, over and over again. Tedious is the word. So i am working on it - please be patient.

Good excuse for driving fast,sorry officer I was cooling my seats down🤣

You can have a gold banner in ten years time, and that’s close to yellow in a dark room.

I think most were orange but a few have faded to yellow.

I love the red banner, but have to say yellow is the colour for a westfield....🤩

Will crack on then lol

Reporting for duty…. @IanD - I’ll get one in the post to you 👍🏻

I'll be there too

Good shout, will be there. Andy

Sorry for gatecrashing your party @Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative and not coming in the Westfield (no mot), although I did get to put the Alfa in Dynamic mode for a while.

Meeting at Cupola, some of us arrived more toasty than others didn't they Mr Westwood? A table for 10, we had a few wonderful surprises today, with @Robin Parker (Red Spider) - Yorkshire AO and @aeg and Becky, even Bagpuss making a last minute journey in his little Santa hat, sat there on the bonnet. In the car park at Cupola. After a hearty breakfast we had a good journey around the Peak District, not too busy and roads in a somewhat dry condition, good for December anyway. We soon arrived at the Cock and Pullet (stop laughing) at Sheldon, which is near Bakewell We were eating a little bit lighter today as we were stuffed full of Christmas cake, this sentence does not apply to the Westwood's who might have had a full on Sunday lunch Thanks Becky for the photo's on the move and thank you to everyone for making the day wonderful, see you all in 2026, kiss kiss.

It seems bonkers that you can buy an epic Westy like this and have enough money left over to also buy a lovely baby Aston to keep it company, for less than the price of even the cheapest new Westy! This is amazing value for money. Good luck with the sale

A happy and healthy new year to one and all😀

Just over an hour and 10% of stock is sold! Don’t hang about, folks!

Concur, similar experience. Also on Safari it hangs if you don’t fill in the Required cells. I’ve shut that requirement off for “Delivery Address 2” because not everyone needs it.

Ordered! Nice one 👍

It was jammed. Queueing to get in and cars parked all over the place. If I hadn't arranged to meet up, I would have turned around.

The pads in your second picture are made by Lusomotors, https://lusomotors.com/ Send an email to Ernesto (Luso owner), he'll be in touch with you.

Calling @Mathew Vernon - Membership Secretary to the thread please… 😎

Tight space to work there… hopefully my pressure switches will keep working, so I won’t have to break my fingers trying to fit something similar 🙂 well one is with hanging pedlas so easier access.

Great pics @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO, what was your reply to Darren? no apology required, it was great to see you and definitely come again Great to see you have taken evasive action against the cold meaning to could make the 1 hour journey to meet us in comfort, well sort of comfortable, in Westfield terms😁

Busy day in work on Thursday the 8th so depends if I've had a rotten day I'll most likely lick my wounds n stay at home but if I'm winning Thursday I'll probably make it out

Apologies, I'd completely missed that. Thank you for offering to share.

See the previous page of my diary, i can share the 3D design if you need it

Hi Ian Great to see you thinking of coming out again. Either car is going to be a lot of fun and competitive in your hands. Also this year we are planning on having the Main Championship with 10 events counting, then a Hill Cup and a Sprint Cup if you prefer those events, 7 to count, see below :- " Our ‘2026 7s Speed Series’ ‘provisional calendar; you will see that we have been extremely lucky to secure a large number of quality events for both Hillclimbs & Sprints. With this in mind, it gives us the exciting opportunity to try something totally different for our 2026 7s Speed Series Championship. In short, we will now be able to offer to our 7s Speed Series registered competitors the following: · Overall ‘7s Speed Series Championship’: Best of 10 events count from all events · The Speed Hillclimb Cup ‘Hillclimbs’ only’: Best of 7 Hillclimb events count out of all Hillclimb events · The Sprint Cup ‘Sprints only’: Best of 7 Sprint events count out of all Sprint events · The ‘Mini Series Cup’ mixture for both ‘Hillclimbs & Sprints’: best of 5 events count out of 7 nominated events The above will run alongside the overall championship, you will see that there is now something for everyone i.e. the main 7s Speed Championship or different series running alongside the full championship - depending on your own personal preference. Send me a PM if you'd like to chat about it. Cheers Nick

Bang it on facebook Things sell 10 times faster on there

Thanks Nick, I've entered for the St Goueno event, I have to wait to see if I get an entry. I'd like to go to NI, I'll see if there is another event as well as Kirkistown on a following weekend

Have a great day @FactoryPilot 🍺🎂

Additional dash printed, painted and fitted.

So finally had a chance to get into the garage to sort the worn bushings out and try the tool i made. I made a couple of modifications including adding clearance where it butts up against the wishbone as some have larger welds than others, and also to make a custom nut with a very long thread to try to avoid stripping threads. This also makes it easier to use as a socket no longer needs to fit in. I can confirm that it worked - I knew two of the bushings were worn, but ended up replacing five as I found some of the others were worn. This was all I had to hand and I haven't even started on the rear suspension yet. Photos are the tool with modifications, the tool in use for removal, and the end result with the removed bushing on the tool. Installation was easier than removal. I changed the front upper bushings on the car without removing the wishbones so it ended up being relatively easy. I don't know why this worked when others have needed so much force for removal, but there was no significant rust at all so maybe that made it easier?

Snap, my Xmas delivery
