chrisp Posted July 21, 2018 Posted July 21, 2018 The time has finally come to part with my car, it has been with me since 1996 although in the last eight years it has sat on the trailer in the garage. I bought it as a basic car fitted with a mildly tuned Chamberlain 1600 Ford X flow. It was very well screwed together by the man who built the car as he was planning to compete in it. I intended to make it into a road car with carpet, comfortable seats etc however I quickly realised that the Westfield Speed Series would be more fun and competed in it for 6 years. During this time the following changes were made: A new X flow engine was sourced and built by Vulcan bored out to 1700cc with large valves, tungsten inserts, gas flowed high compression head, 244 cam, pocketed pistons, lightened flywheel, balanced clutch, shot peened con-rods, balanced flywheel, clutch, rods, pulleys and crankshaft, power grip pulley set, uprated oil pump, Cosworth big end bolts and steel cam shaft straps. Home made throttle bodies Petrol tank modified for fuel injection High pressure fuel pump Inlet manifold fitted with fuel injectors Emerald programable ECU Crank shaft position sensor, water and air temperature sensors and throttle position potentiometer fitted to supply inputs for ECU Wasted spark ignition system Nylon bushed chassis Aluminium bell housing Quaife ATB limited slip differential Aluminium front uprights Four pot aluminium front brakes, Hawk pads Drilled and lightened front discs AVO adjustable dampers Front anti-roll bar Quick rack, solidly mounted Lightweight plastic seats 4-point Willans harness for driver 3-point Luke harness for passenger Roll bar strengthened and extra bracing Wunoff re-packable stainless steel silencer Side screens and hood Fitted fire extinguisher system Geared starter motor Gear change LED Chassis ride height, corner weighting and geometry setup by Northampton Motorsport. Car weight 571.5 kgs. Rolling road set up by Dave Walker at Emerald Engineering: Output 148 bhp at 6800 rev/min. 130 ft/lbs at 5600 rev/min. In the loft I have high back padded seats, boot box and lockable lid, carpet set and underfelt. The car comes with its own trailer, this is a home-made two wheel trailer which was constructed to fit into a small garage, it tows very well.
