Hastwell Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Just bought a starter kit at stoneleigh! Woohoo :-) where should I go for my parts and what should I get off Westfield...could do with a bit of help guys!
DITCH Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 "BIG Question "? Take a look at the following question's, as it makes a difference on what you will require, and where you will end up buying from !!!! 1) Whats the budget. 2) Want a current Registration or a "Q" Reg. 3) What finish you want. As the answers you give will help the guy's on the Forum direct you to a plentiful of suppliers, either new or used parts. Ditch.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Congratulations Andrew, what version have you gone for? (SDV, body/chassis, bike/car engine etc.)
Hastwell Posted May 3, 2010 Author Posted May 3, 2010 Thanks guys... The car is a SEi multi donor with an FW front. It will be used mainly for touring, running a zetec engine. Undecided on the Q plate, depends how much I can save. Trying to keep budget low as possible but still maintaining a good finish. Trying to source the following parts; suspension differential, driveshafts, front uprights, hubs, discs and callipers......virtually everything I will need to get me to a rolling chassis.
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Some great bargains come up in here regularly; which as a member you'll be able to take full advantage of, though you'll need to be fast on the draw - vultures the lot of us IIRC driveshafts used to come with the kit, though they don't come with lobro joints. (I ordered a new set of joints with my chassis kit, and they came ready fitted). For new components, companies like Cat Motorsport Plays Kool Rally Design, Think Automotive to name but a few have some good priced alternatives to the factory. Ebay can be a great source of parts - but do your research before bidding - it's easy to pay over the odds! And obviously there's scrap yards, though Sierra and Cortina bits are getting scarce nowadays; partly because in the last few years, the "value" of certain kit car friendly bits has been recognised, and there's been a number of companies springing up to source and supply old Cortina uprights, Sierra diffs etc
DITCH Posted May 3, 2010 Posted May 3, 2010 Hi, Have a gander's on E bay, there are plenty of Ford Zetec Engine's for sale. Kitpartsdirectltd have some smashing deals on "Brand New 2ltr Zetec's" for start off bid at £590 (CHEAP) !!!! Or if the budget won't go that far, there are a load of used silver top's for sale on there. There are other item's on there as well ( MT75 gearbx's) etc, that may well come for the right money !!! If you need any more advise don't hesitate to PM me as well !!! Ditch.
FW500 Posted May 4, 2010 Posted May 4, 2010 Personally I tried to avoid using the factory as much as possible. Some things I found reasonably priced from the factory such as their wiring loom but other things I found to be massively overpriced in my opinion. I didn't have any problem getting an '08 plate - just make sure you keep all invoices and keep a proper build file with plenty of pictures.
Hastwell Posted May 5, 2010 Author Posted May 5, 2010 Yeah I will get the wiring loom off Westfield. Is there anything else I should get off them as I get 10% show discount? Can I use rally design uprights, are they any good? What records do I need to keep for IVA? Cheers Andy
Mark (smokey mow) Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 What records do I need to keep for IVA? Keep the receipts for anything major you buy (ie pretty much everything except for nuts and bolts), and if buy from ebay etc take a printout of the listing if you don't get a receipt. Also be sure to take lots of photos during the build process to show that it was ameteur built by you and not by a business. I found a few wide angled photos showing the washing line and flower beds in the background proved it was built in my garden
RedditchJay Posted May 5, 2010 Posted May 5, 2010 Dont listen to DITCH.... have you seen the state of that engine bay.... rumour has it it got dirty once..... back in 2002... me... jealous,,,nnnnaaaahhhhhhh..............OK..YES I AM
XTR2Turbo Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 I have lots of bits taken off an 08 car with just 500 miles. I have all the original receipts. 1.6 all alloy Ford sigma engine and everything that you don't get with a crated engine off ebay required to install in a Westfield such as starter, alternator, flywheel, clutch, clutch cable and fork, bellhousing for type 9, coil, leads, water pipes to connect to Westfield rad, complete Westfield exhaust system etc. All you need is ECU and engine wiring loom I have a video of the engine running perfectly in the car before I took it out. In this spec the engine is 120bhp. A cam change would give about 130bhp and throttle bodies as on the caterham R300 gives about 155bhp I also have front brake calipers and disks, nose indicators and propshaft. Call me on 07907 977 304. Looking for about £850 for the lot.
adamnreeves Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 Congratulations on buying into one of the best marques. See you've also become a member, good choice. You've made a posting in the parts wanted section with topic of "New Kit", thought that's what you wanted until I read the post
FW500 Posted May 6, 2010 Posted May 6, 2010 If it helps I recorded most of the costs (excluding the cost of the engine) and where I sourced the parts.
