Well the diff went in my 106 after 13 days.
So i need another gearbox. Do i:
Buy a Rebuilt one for £275 with 6 months warrenty
Or risk it with one of ebay for about £100.
Picked it up off Dani yesterday. Great car and a great lass!
Sorry about the poor pics. Just gave it a quick wash after getting in from uni
I love the little thing. Handling is awesome and thats coming from a past 172 owner and a current Westfield owner.
Once i've got the...
Right i'm getting a 1.8 16v as a run around. Since it won't be doing much i'm going to use it as a test bed. I'd like to fit the R1 bike carbs i have kicking around.
I can have a manifold knocked up pretty easily by an local engineering company who has made a few for XE engines.
I remember...
Right me and dad are getting a valver to share as a run around. Since our work vehicles get used more and more by our drivers we need something seperate.
He liked the last valver we had so we've decided to get a cheap one.
Thing is we want to insure it cheap as possible. Limited miles etc...
So far the best i can find is £279.99 at my local choices but as always they don't have any in stock and can't get any more for a week.
I can't find anywhere on the web that matches this.
My wireless network doesn't reach far enough into my house to give me a good signal in my bedroom (2nd floor, wireless transmitter is on the ground floor) I have a phone socket in my room though and a spare modem so can i use that??
Been having sofeware problems for about 2 months. Nokia said they couldn't do anything for it. So i reflashed it with the latest update for it. All was good untill i restored all my old contacts onto it then it crashed and when i turn it on again it says mobile startup failed contact retailer...
I currently pay £800 for my westfield.
I want another hot hatch but this time i'm not going on fleet insurance as i fancy some NCB for once lol
Quotes so far. 19 and no NCB
Clio 172 - £2430 fully comp
Ibiza Cupra chipped to 200bhp - £1551 fully comp
Errr surely somethings amiss here lol
Some pics i did today by myself. Sadly they don't look at good as i want since i had to use a very fast shutter to get a pic which wasn't totally blurred due to the camera been on a tripod and not tracking with the car.
Will make a feature length one with a story line eventually.
Lead car 1600cc Westfield SEi

Since the westfield is off the road now. The others cars got a treat. The Range Rover was black when i started since its been neglected recently and well the terrano van is black all the time it was just a very dirty black.
Will get one of minions/workers to wash this lot...
I've just done a head gasket change on my Westfield. Now i've just rebuilt it. It turns over very easily and sounds like there is no compression. I think it could be the fact the tappet will have probally drained dry. So tomorrow i'll keep turning it over till i've filled the head oil.
Any...
I went to have the carbs re-set up today. It turned out they all had different size jets in and it was running very flat after 6000rpm.
Some pics of ot being worked on by David Bogg. He builds grass track race engines and other things. In his workshop there is a V8 tr7 on bike throttle...
Whats this noise. It sounds like blow back through the carbs. Can be heard as a high pitched tick noise at differing points through the vid??

Ben i'll go to the work shop and get some pics of the ignition...
Well went away and now it back with avengence. All i can describe it that its like a rev limiter that moves around the top half of the rev range. Some times it comes in at 5.1k then other times i can see the dizzying hight of 6.5k.
I'm starting to feel its not fueling since its on and off...
Right how easy would it be to get an engine running using these. At the moment my 4age engine has no ecu since its on carb's.
At the moment at work there a few sets of bike throttle bodies lying around off varying bikes. I could have an inlet manifold knocked up for next to nothing.
The...
