jonlewis Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Had a tricky few days of Westie ownership... Tuesday - Drifting at Oulton..... 3 Laps and a dead battery. Wednesday - Track Day at Oulton..... Engine cut out... Restarted (very briefly), Sounds like Big End gone. ... certainly very sick engine in need of rebuild. The only light at the end of the tunnel was Thursday at Anglesey, as I got to use an MX5. What a fantastic little car (especially in the wet), I was drifting around quite a few corners (School definatly excluded).... and I am normally crap at that sort of thing, very well balanced. Need to take the car up to Holeshot and fearing the worst Quote
jonlewis Posted July 29, 2005 Author Posted July 29, 2005 Thanks for that .. I have been thinking maybe I could get a very light trailer and tow the westie with an MX5 Apparently a Eunos is better for track days as they came with an LSD as standard. Quote
Terry Everall Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 Jon What happened to engine? I thought you had a dry sump fitted to the busa? Quote
JeffC Posted July 29, 2005 Posted July 29, 2005 what is it with busa engines at the mo! my pal knocked a big end out on his busa a couple of weeks ago on a track day, engine had done little over 1,000 miles from new and had a westfield dry sump fitted.... only did a couple of 20minute sessions then it started to knock .. holeshot have just rebuilt it for him , it needed a crank, and a couple of gears .. not cheap either Quote
