V8 WSC

Recommended Posts

This link shows how the car looked when Graham completed the build; http://www.seight.net/megaseight.htm

 

It now doesn't have the carbon nose just a regular one.  Also the radiator is different, Nitron dampers with bespoke settings, it is now dry sumped and has a different exhaust system, still underslung and just cleared the lumps in the track to my house which was a great relief as I was really worried that it would ground.

 

That looks like the V8 that was at Mallory ..ten years ago? Same coloured springs, wings and nose, same seats. Did it run an underslung exhaust with centre exit?

 

This is the only pic I have, the third car. I do remember it going a bit like a stabbed rat on track!  :laugh:

Would love a shot of a big power v8 westy to see how it compared to a 4pot!

 

More importantly...that's a cracking photo!

Yes that looks like it is it, single exhaust centrally mounted. It was built in 2004.

I had a look at a V8 Westie yesterday while my Zetec SE was in at Toybox having some cooling mods done. What a noise and what a car! I'm in love!

 

I've haven't had mine a month yet and I'm already wanting to swap! Looks like a real mans car!

It would be interesting to try the two back to back on road and track to compare. Ive been in a 5.0 tuned v8 westy and it was just nuts, in a good way! But not actually driven one. I nearly brought that race car one thats been for sale for ages in holland but decided i wasnt brave enough
