Geoffrey Carter (Buttercup) Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 That looks really smart. I like your car a lot. Quote
BLiNK Motorsport Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Great looking car - I really like the bodywork around the front suspension - the sr2 certainly looks a well engineered kit! Quote
dombanks Posted January 18, 2015 Posted January 18, 2015 Heres a few piccies of the car prior to charger being fitted. I'll add a few more when charger is done in a few weeks. nice. 1 Quote
lewis Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 That is nice. I really want to supercharge mine when it's built Quote
tisme Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Is that a "Top Gear Patagonia Special" number plate ? Nice car by the way and excellent engineering. Quote
Tazzzzman1 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 (edited) Thanks for the comments. Yes really pleased with the car. Took 9 months to build at £8k on the road ( I built to a real tight budget so reused MX5 loom, clocks etc) to build one now I'd budget 10-12k.. Car has now covered 7K miles ( track and road). Superb engineering which they are continually improving on. Ha ha yes the number plate was the one DVLA issued. I didn't even realise until my daughter pointed it out.... Couldn't be more relevant ha ha Edited January 19, 2015 by Tazzzzman1 Quote
SootySport Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 I like the way the rear diffuser blends into the rear panel, is this a separate item and any idea if it could fit a Westfield.? Quote
Tazzzzman1 Posted January 19, 2015 Posted January 19, 2015 Yes the diffuser is a seperate panel. It fits neatly into the rear recess. As the Sr2 body is a copy of the Westy it might fit.... Best asking Roadrunner themselves Quote
lewis Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I've just seen you're most recent updated on the Pistonheads thread I want this! How much is the whole setup costing? Quote
SootySport Posted February 23, 2015 Posted February 23, 2015 I've just seen you're most recent updated on the Pistonheads thread I want this! How much is the whole setup costing? You're going to need to few bodywork mods to fit it in, a bulge here and there should do it. Quote
paul n Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 looks awesome! great work! that thing is going to be rapid! I had a supercharged MX5 prior to my westy and it was proper fast!... and that weighed 1000kg! Quote
Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've always wondered why Westfield haven't pulled their finger out and enclosed the front suspension like that- it looks so much better - surely the law suit is long forgotten? Who's going to be first to try to fit one of those diffusers or take a mould? Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 I've always wondered why Westfield haven't pulled their finger out and enclosed the front suspension like that- it looks so much betterthey did in the mid 90's on the ZEi http://www.zauber-tuning.de/tl_files/zauber/content/einblicke/westfield/Zauber-RS4_7.jpg Quote
Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Oh, I don't remember that! It actually looks finished, why'd they stop? Quote
Mark (smokey mow) Posted February 24, 2015 Posted February 24, 2015 Oh, I don't remember that! It actually looks finished, why'd they stop?one of the Essex guys Ben Wall had one (not sure if he still has). The car was european small volume type approved and only ever sold as factory built. I would imagine the tub to nosecone interface could be tricky to get right when fitting and getting at the suspension bolts with the spanners would be a nightmare with everything fully enclosed.
