Wests Widetracked Flame Red DCI 80 Sport Rep



  Discounted 1*2 parts
Yea, nothing is ever simple with cars, started with a wheel bearing, ended up with a gearbox fault!

Picked up a used box from RenParts last night (thanks Josh for staying late so I could collect)

Hopefully get the box in later this evening :)

Jobs for this weekend if the box cures my problem....
  • Fit 3/4 number plate
  • Fit stud conversion
  • Fit spacers
  • BLOODY GOOD CLEAN!

Hi West
car looks spot on
been working on my sons 65. Have changed a lot of it to 172/182 parts.
have done the rear disco convention and now have all the front bits
lower arms
drive shafts
hubs
discs callipers
shocks
springs

Just have a quick question, do I need to change the steering rod ends or is there enough thread to just wind them out.
on the other hand what did you do?
Thanks mate
kev

P.s good luck with the gearbox and keep the mods coming, I'm hooked and my son is loving it.

Hi Kev

No we used the original rack and joints etc. Just need to get the alignment done afterwards as the tracking will be about 3 degrees out!

Hi tom
you doing or going to do the fourth engine mount mod?

Kev

No plans to fit any other engine mounts, not sure which one you mean? I guess the bottom gearbox mount?

Doubt it'd be worth it.

Thanks :) a lot of the parts came from my 172 when I broke it so didn't cost me a penny!

Will be going up for sale in the next few months to make way for the next project/toy :)

Your going to regret selling it Tom lol. What's next?

I'm sure I'll miss it but got a jap itch that needs scratching before I have to get some sensible for the 'future' lol

Did have a 182 but sold it pretty quickly as I wasn't using it and knew in the back of my mind it wasn't what I wanted!

Shame to see this go!
Hopefully new owner will treat it as well as yourself!

Brilliant project thread Tom!

Cheers for the comments as always guys!

Just out of interest does everyone think the price I have advertised her at is about right? Don't want to give it away, but on the same token, don't want it sitting around for months on end!

about £1k up on what a totally stock similar spec costs...
but a truly unique well looked after example....

i would be extremely tempted....

Cheers, hopefully the price is right, I'm open to offers anyway :)

looks good- one little niggle £4 black bumper inserts to finish ;)

S

Lol, I bought some of these from Ady @ N2Grafix at CSS and have never got round to fitting them!

So the DCI sold at the weekend to another member on here (AdamSmith) and did a part exchange with his 172 cup. Hopefully Adam will look after her the way I did and keep this thread up to date with any changes etc :)

Missing her already due to the amount of time/effort/money I put in but I'm more than happy with the cup :)

Final pics including xenons and cup spoiler with the new cup :)
