Flying_Westie Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Hello all! I have been searching for a while for the right seven kit car and settled on a '97 Westfield SEW. I moved over from the US recently and it is very difficult to get such a car there which is part of the reason I had to get one. The car has a 2.0 Redtop that was rebuilt with Kent Cams a few years back making 140bhp. There's some small jobs that need to be done on the car, including; fuel sender, paint correction, hood refurbishment, etc. that I have begun working on. I am hoping to meet you all at the events later this year! Is anyone from around the Cambridge area? 7 Quote

Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Welcome from Essex 🙂 I suspect you'll have a nice surprise if that ever goes on the dyno - it will be rather more than 140HP, I suspect... Quote

I thought that. I thought they were 150 standard, 165 with cams, 180 with twin 45's etc... Quote
Kit Car Electronics and Essex AO Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Yes, more likely 140 at the wheels, I think... Quote
Sean Walsh Posted April 10, 2021 Posted April 10, 2021 Welcome from Somerset! Good looking beastie! Enjoy! W Quote
Andy Malone - Editor Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Welcome! I was born in Cambridge and lived in the area for many years but moved to the North West a while ago. Plenty of fantastic roads (and pubs) to explore in a Westfield round there though. Enjoy! 1 Quote

TableLeg Posted April 11, 2021 Posted April 11, 2021 Welcome from Suffolk. You're probably familiar with both Mildenhall and Lakenheath US bases nearby. Quote

I think so, I have an old printout saying it made 140 to the wheels but that was before the cams and retune. 1 hour ago, TableLeg said: Welcome from Suffolk.
