SteveF Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Nozzer - were you the guy who was with Mellow at Oulton Park - practicing ballet manouvers through Knickerbrook? - that is one fast Westie! All it needs is the handling improving ( this may involve getting Mellow out from behind the wheel ......runs away and hides ) Steve Quote
Bananaman Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 A decent set of AVO's would help!!!!!!!!!!!! watch the ground clearence with those underslung torpedo tube(s). Quote
chris sideways Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 Thats a good combo Nozzer a P1 and Cossie powered Westy thats just what i had untill i sold the P1 last year,the Scooby just felt sooooooooooooo boring after the Westy Quote
SteveF Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 It's worse than you think Andy - he was on slicks Steve Quote
Matt Seabrook Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 How come POC is selling his car after going to all the trouble of fitting new wheels and tyres and a different exhaust system. have I missed something. Quote
Mark Stanton Posted March 27, 2003 Posted March 27, 2003 No, but I think POC has or maybe not advice and comment, tips on what and how and where from all freely given had an offer he couldn't refuse possibly and he wasn't a WSCC member Quote
nozzer Posted March 28, 2003 Author Posted March 28, 2003 all being well, will pick up the car wednesday, looking forward to it, no it was not me with chris at oulton. Chris metioned avo,s as well, lets see how i do and hope i dont start modding like the sccob scene. Oh and i will join the club Quote
Ian Gratton Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 Everyone seems to recommend AVOs for westfields...I guess they must work pretty well. Based upon some bad experiences with them on Subarus we decided not to use them on our XTR². Maybe worth you taking a look at http://www.nitron.co.uk/ We are running their top of the range coilovers (Minus remote resevoirs) and the car is fantastic for them. They are mated up with Eibach springs and helpers which seem to work a treat - running slightly less front poundage (Think we have 480's) than the Works race car as it needs to be a little compliant on the road too. The thing I found quite amazing about the AVOs is when you wind up the rebound on them and push in the strut into the damper body it doesn't hardly come back out LOL - er - so wheres the rebound ? Maybe this was a one-off occurance (ok - so all 4 coilovers in the set did the same thing). In comparison I did the same with a Nitron and Ohlins coilover and it nearly broke my arms LOL. Maybe this is something to do with oil/gas fill Anyone fill in my blanks Maybe worth you contacting John Felstead. He also had a modified ZEi 220 and the suspension on that was lovely - I haven't got a clue what it was mind (don't think they were expensive - so deffo not Ohlins, Koni or Penske) Quote
XTR2Turbo Posted March 30, 2003 Posted March 30, 2003 On the ZEI220 you have enclosed front bodywork around the shocks. These will only accommodate the smaller (1.9 I think) shocks. Most of the Nitrons are 2.25 - I tried to fit. John had some supplied by Terry Nightingale. The ones on the car are less than 12months and 1000 miles old. David Quote
