Spend the (ex) chairman's money (formerly "This year, I will mostly be...")
Scott Young posted a topic in Tech Talk
...considering selling my lovely classic narrow CVH powered Westfield SEi. .... ...and buying a different one. I've had The Wench for 16 years now and loved her to bits, but the time has come for something a bit newer and with a newer engine, an injected Zetec or Duratec (sorry, no BEC, MX-5 engine or V8). As much as I love my girl, and also the thought of sticking a new engine into her and giving her a change of heart, the cold hard logic is that it's better to buy a correctly spec'd car that matches my needs now, and find a new home for my girl, someone who needs a very good -
I am a inexperienced Westie owner and novice mechanic! I have recently bought an SEIW 1.6 CVH Westfield with twin Webbers and am already hooked! I love the simplicity of the engine and don’t want to replace it with a newer type or go the turbo/injection/increased capacity route. I do however want to increase the performance nearer to its full potential without losing drivability (intended use is road and the occasional track day). As a first step I am planning to find out what it is currently producing and have it properly set up on a rolling road. Then I a

Hello and welcome After much deliberation i have decided to sell my pride and joy after 9 years of ownership. (I am the 5th owner) Having covered a mere 1,300 miles in that time i can no longer warrant keeping it and it deserves to go to someone who will get more use out of it. The car has been sat for 4 years so gives you an idea of just how little it has been used. (house renovation and road cycling take up most of my time). The reason for buying the car was i'd had recently had my beloved RS Turbo written off by a run away car while it was parked on the driveway but as it had

This car has had an interesting past, it was originally registered in 1989 and we believe ran for around 2 years when oil surge caused engine failure of the originally installed crossflow. At that point the owner pushed it into the garage and left it there for many years, until another one of our members purchased it a few years ago as a project. The car was stripped down completely including body removal, suspension engine and gearbox, a lowered floor was fitted and it is at this point we purchased the car as a rolling chassis, without an engine back in July last year. Our plan was

Well actually no it didn't One of the biggest challenges when trying to fit the CVH engine into our project car was, would the bonnet go on afterwards. Obviously we spent hours meticulously measuring and comparing the position of the engine in the chassis with my other car "Marilyn", before the body was reunited with the rest of the car, only to find out we were about 20mm high right at the front of the engine. To cut a long and stressful story short, because we didn't want a power bulge in the bonnet, a company called Fibet came to our rescue. They manufacture Isolation Mount

Well , the Westie has just about reached the point where she will be ready for next Monday's MOT . The Detroit 1.9L CVH is in place, high capacity fuel pump installed, new exhaust fitted, missing clutch bushing replaced, a host of electrical upgrades completed, replacement seats and new thermostatic switch together with inline sensor installed etc.... BUT, started engine, which sounds beautiful, idles well, and on a short test drive, behaved very well indeed. A tribute to former owner Tricky's skill and ingenuity. However, somewhere in the region of the bell housing , there
