How does it drive, any problems with turbo power and a v light chassis and rwd?
Do you have a build thread anywhere?
It's a 20 year old project to be honest.. I purchased this car last summer and just drove it like it was...
This winter i completely rebuilt the front and repainted every tiny bit. I did much much more but as said, if i had to write those thi9ngs down here it would took me ages tot translate all technical words..
I will post a before and after pic when the wether is a bit nicer...after my rebuilt it has not been out of the garage actually ... but hey, he and i cant wait!!
I think the rst suites the westfield nice, enough power, and i do not intend to tune up the engine, i just want to know right away if there's something wrong with it. Therefore i installed oil temperature and now a turbo pressure gauge. After all, the engine is more than 21 years old.. but the cars is only 460 kilo's, roughly 1 bhp per 3 kilo's (that's more than a basic porsche cayenne!
)
It fits perfectly, only the intercooler should be mounted in a more "windy" place, but i am still figuring out where... (post pic soon) But take care: it is a left hand steered westy, i can imaging things not fitting properly when this car should be a right hand drive...
So sorry mate, i dont have a build thread, but i promise i will when i am going to build my ac cobra kit
