V8 or BEC

[Edd]

Well just a little update

I found the perfect Busa about 5 months ago and it was sold before i had the money ready.

as if by a miracle it came for sale again recently so i have just bought it off John

Also own a TVR cerbera now since last time so it should be a good summer

FWIW, I run a V8, & its for leisurely jaunts in the country and on picnics only, & would defy it to keep up with any bec . IMHO it requires less driver input as the lack of power  has to be treated with no respect  whatsoever both going up and down the box.You can use any car for the track only, but the BEC is the best and far away the most economical compromise. If I were using a car for road use only, I'd stick the plaid blanket & picnic hamper in & go for a V8 anyday, but a 'busa would be my choice for road and track.

Have a natter with Jeff C, he seems to have it right!

HTH

Tommo

forgot all about this thread.. Tommo was making a lot of sense that day              

oh and good choice        

[Edd]

thanks, got to make a few alterations to the seat to fit me but then get used to the car and try my first track day in it sometime

Two years on and I need another westfield

having tried the busa route I feel a nice 4 cylinder thottle bodied engine would suit me fine and should be a nice noise!

anyone know anything about MK cars in particular

You ought to seriously consider the V8 I told you about.

[Edd]

if it was 15k i'd have it, but little too much money for what i want to spend

awesome car though

How much are you looking to spend - I know where there is a very high spec 220bhp Zetec car that is for sale at the right price.
