PeP Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Hi all, I'm in the process of trying to find my 1st Westfield and wondered where I would take it for engine upgrades,and rolling road tuning and so on in the Derbyshire area, if anyone knows where Buxton is , thats me All the ones I can find on the web are down south ie. Burton,Vulcan... I know its a bit previous seeing as I haven't even got a car yet but I was just curious as to where anyone can get the tasty upgrades from around here. If its any help I hope to get a Zetec based car but might have to lower my sights a bit to CHV/Pinto. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stu999 Posted January 18, 2008 Share Posted January 18, 2008 Welcome It does depend on what you actually want doing to be honest. The 'upgraders' are out there - it's just that most have their own specialist line of work i.e. suspension, engine performance upgrades, the actual tuning of the engine itself once it is running, etc, etc Give us an idea of what you are thinking about, and I'm sure someone can give suggestions on where the service can be obtained Dont forget that for many folk, some of the fun of owning this type of car is getting the spanners out yourself from time to time. Most companies will post stuff out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeP Posted January 18, 2008 Author Share Posted January 18, 2008 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm not frightened about getting my hands dirty,in fact I would prefer to build my own car but the boss of the house(wife) says I must buy second hand first... so my idea is to hopefully get a standard spec,mid 90's Zetec car and upgrade it ,to scratch the itch so to speak. That said I don't feel in any way capable of rebuilding an engine so for final setting up of suspension and any engine work I would need some expert help.(at least in the beginning). P.S. Car will be for road use with hopefully some track days too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KerryS Posted January 20, 2008 Share Posted January 20, 2008 Northampton Motorsport is a fair hike from Buxton - and yes, it has been heard of in Derby! - but well recommended. Or there's Dennis Vessey between deletive and Grimsby. We sometimes get up towards Buxton on a summer evening's run, though it never happened this last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
