Torqueman Posted May 16, 2008 Posted May 16, 2008 Nice to se that you are on the road John. I hope all is sorted now so you can chase those M5 and Porsche turbos on the highway Quote
Karl Woolf Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Well done john Looks really neat install Gob smacked you`ve got it all together so quickly Look forward to seeing it sometime this year Any trackdays booked Quote
STAINLESS STEVE Posted May 17, 2008 Posted May 17, 2008 Very nice job John.... get it on track my son! Quote
24seven Posted May 23, 2008 Posted May 23, 2008 I´ve seen Patrik and Andreas saab turbo westies live on track (Mantorp Park, Sweden). On the straights, they just flew right past, even past the two Megabusas that were there that day... This was just after they had swapped their Zetec and pinto for Saab power, I would guess the boost preassure has gone up since then.. Quote

At least dont mine They had oilsurge problem at the time, so they didnt drive much. But I guess it could be some problem on straights now Quote

Yeah, I know they didn´t drive very much that day... You were faster in the corners, but (as i remember it) got passed at the end of the straights. Come on, admit it Quote

I was interested to see how quick these guys was, but I never get chance to "race" them. At the time I dont think they had much boost either, so I dont think they where that quick (Compared to a BEC ). But I am pretty sure that Patriks car will be quick this summer, at least on the long straights Quote

j30fos Posted May 29, 2008 Author Posted May 29, 2008 patrik you must post up a vid ( best do a rear view vid lol ), Id like to see the difference seeing my last car was a busa Ive got to say mine does feel quicker with the saab engine but its what its like in the corners with the extra weight Quote
grahame Posted May 29, 2008 Posted May 29, 2008 There are those that believe that a car engine is appropriate for a Westfield, granted, I accept that viewpoint.... ....My God, John, that looks fantastic, awesome. I guess we're not talking 46lb/ft, 140bhp@14,250..... Get this thing to Santa Pod! Grahame Quote

Some track days will come up and maybe libell to. The car is in pieces at the moment, do to oil leakage in gearbox and upgrading the cooling system and rear breaks. Are you rewing above 4000 rpm now?
