Andy665 0 Posted October 15, 2005 Looked longingly at a pre-litigation Westfield Seven this afternoon, going to have a Valver running on ITB's and should push out over 200BHP - nice to see a Westfield running a VW engine Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted October 15, 2005 If you can get in a Westfield gracefully and not throw up from the Gs round roundabouts, I think you'd be sold :-) Those and Caterhams are great cars, although I've only been in a Westy with a 1700 crossflow Ford engine (pinto?) and that was quick enough! Not blistering, but they don't weigh much at all. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy665 0 Posted October 15, 2005 I sold a Westfield last year, running a Lotus Twin Cam and twin 45's - really regret selling it and after the house move may be tempted in to another one. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not blistering, but they don't weigh much at all. crossflows are 1100cc,1300cc and 1600cc,pintos are overhead cam and came in 1600 and 2000cc a garage local to me sell and service caterham 7's and some are really tidy,i think demon tweeks sell them aswell Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadoAds 0 Posted October 15, 2005 yeah but the 1700 will almost certainly be a worked on crossflow, Ive been thinking about building a westfield, got the brochures a few weeks back from Caterham and Westfield and decided on the Duratec powered westfield, just gotta stump up the 3K+ for the first bit of kit and then im on the road to ruin, Ill be selling my kids for the other 5 modules, lol :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan 0 Posted October 15, 2005 Why a Duratec? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vr6storm 0 Posted October 15, 2005 i'm guessing more modern and easier to tune Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ronan 0 Posted October 15, 2005 There are better modern engines that are easy to tune than a Duratec... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dinkus 10 Posted October 17, 2005 Scruffythefirst is in the process of building a Dax Rush with a 350bhp Cossie engine in it. Personally, I think he's clinically insane. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
