YakATAC29 Posted October 22, 2016 Posted October 22, 2016 After a very good year with a silvertop 1800 zetec & experiencing all the westfield forum has to offer which include some excellent local meets organised by the lovely Julie from the peak & a cracking day out at a sprint track. Also a special thanks goes to Trev (trevturtle) for helping me so much with the car. He really is a credit to the forum. After experiencing a ride in a s2000 on the sprint day i am now getting some big ideas & want a lot more power. So the time has come,do i pop a tuned blacktop in or sell & wait for the right car to come along which already tuned up ready for the track but still drive able to use on the road. After some advise & a lot of thought we came to conclusion that it would be cheaper to sell & buy a different westy. I would love get a s2000 but the budget was a little bit more than i could stretch too. So after some advise from my local rolling road he said a duratec would suit what i was after. So this morning i sold my silver top to lovely couple from stoke on trent. Sad times but its time to move on. So if theres a very well looked after duratec you know where i am? Thanks Ben & Nat. 1
Rossins Posted October 24, 2016 Posted October 24, 2016 Hi Ben & Nat, Cant help with a car, but make sure you don't rush into it - wait for the right car - it will come up - I waited 12 mths, but it was worth the wait! Good hunting. Cheers Simon 2

TAFKARM Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 How powerful Ben? Youre welcome to take mine for a spin (low powered duratec ~190bhp and not very road friendly) to see if its quick enough.
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 Ben, there is one on ebay at the moment that is worth a look at. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Westfield-SE-2-litre-road-and-track-seven-7-Ford-ST-170-Duratec-tuned-motor-/252593199711?hash=item3acfba5a5f:g:ZqkAAOSwzaJYB0~8
TAFKARM Posted October 25, 2016 Posted October 25, 2016 ST170 isn't 'real' duratec, it's just badging.
