matt rule Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Evening, feeling a little out of place as I don’t have a Westfield. (Hope that’s okay)I have a Luego viento which is under construction. A bit about the car gm ls1 bmw 8hp70 transmission haltech r5 vcu turbolamic tcu ic7 dash ford 7.5 quaife diff I met some lovely people at the kit car show who were kind enough to show me around their car and let my boy Levi play on the driving simulator. would love to meet some people down in the south west with a general interest in all things automotive. I may regret saying this but I also have a built in ramp (see images) at my house in Exeter which I would be happy for others to use once my beast is road legal. look forward to meeting some of you matt 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt rule Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hi Steve, it’s a great place. Originally from New Zealand so a little different. Are there many people down this way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Hunter - Club Secretary Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 Welcome from South Derbyshire! That's going to be awesome with the LS1! You aren't alone in owning a Luego in the club, Rachael and Iain this pinto engined one 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt rule Posted July 3, 2023 Author Share Posted July 3, 2023 Hi rob, great to hear from you. Yep will be a bit of a handful with the ls1. The haltech will be working hard to keep traction! Hopefully the transmission will make it a bit easier in those slippery days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted July 3, 2023 Share Posted July 3, 2023 From sunny Somerset. That’s an intriguing beast you’re building to say the least. There are a few Westfield owners in the south west. The Dorset area meets find members rolling up from Devon, Somerset and Dorset. We (Dorset Area) have a display area (10/12 cars planned) at the Historic Vehicle Gathering at Powderham Castle this coming weekend, virtually on your doorstep if you’re interested. Let me know if you come along and I will keep an eye open for you. Info here: https://historic-vehicle-gathering.info/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted July 4, 2023 Share Posted July 4, 2023 Hi Matt from Essex. Your Luego is going to be a bit of a Mover & Shaker when on the road. Good luck with finishing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
