Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 10 hours ago, Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary said: I’ve got one with “only” 125 bhp, a stock Type 9 gearbox with poor ratios, Golf callipers on the back and Landrover Discovery (rear) callipers on the front! And over twisty country roads, it flies! And while I won’t deny, I’ve been faster down some of the roads in Westfields with double the power, it’s not by much! (Of course, as soon as you get somewhere more open, with big straights and long fast bends, then the bigger power cars come into their own.) But it really is worth experimenting with options that you didn’t think would appeal, to really find out what you like! I can attest to this! I've followed @Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Secretary in the Peak District in my S2000... Horsepower is definitely not everything in these cars although it does help in catching Dave up after a corner! 😂😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Warren Till Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 Hello Chris and welcome. I’m between Basingstoke and Tadley, so not far away. I have a 2.0L Zetec Seiw in Chrome yellow (the best colour, apparently) which I built 20 years ago. It’s been off the the road for about a year for some suspension upgrades (life gets in the way). With a few more local Westfield owners popping up I’d better hurry and get it back on the road. I also have a RS Clio 200. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy_R Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 Welcome! Currently living in Wakefield (W.Yorks) but originally from Yateley so go through Hook a few times a year to visit friends & family. Also got my first speeding ticket in Hook ... where it goes to 30 on the Basingstoke side 😞 The ladies and gents on this forum are fantastic ... and just remember there is nothing wrong with a powerful & loud V8. Might not be as fast on a track but you have some great roads around you that will make the SEiGHT sing 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Chris, Your Megane looks like a dedicated track tool. I don’t track the Clio, it’s my more practical daily driver, not that I’ve been anywhere in it since March! It’s overdue a timing belt and has the ‘usual’ synchromesh issues with the gearbox. Jobs for next couple of weeks. Until a couple of years ago I used to do some rallying. I quite fancy doing some Sprinting before I’m too old! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
