so long to the westfield







but say hello to the new track toy!

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...MEWN%3AIT&rd=1


picked it up last night, gunna go strip it out later, get the roll cage welded in ect ect.
right then...whos got a 2wd rear beam setup they wana sell?
ghranada cossie engine is already on its way

 

im sure it will provide the necessary level of fun

shame you had to get rid of the westie though

 

ea tis a shame dave, thing is though it was just to fast to really enjoy on the road and it was worth to much to really push it on a track

where as the xr4 will have the wheels driven off it till the new project gets built

 

24v 4i is a great Track car, lots of grin if not the fastist out there

 

johnny, is doing a 24 valve change into the xr4 tricky at all? looks fairly stright forward but not spoken to anyone whos done it yet

 

Like it mate, especially at that money

Has actually got me thinking too.......

Let me know how you go on if you do the engine swap.

 

so....... whats the new project then?

 

final year uni project light weight track car with a mid mounted busa turbo engine

 

keep me informed on this one Darren

 

*note to self, must stop posting when logged in as Cola*

Sounds like a whole heap of fun!! so whats the car then? or am i asking too many questions lol

 

Darren in just slots in as same block, just need some down pipes made and the ecu wiring in.

The T9 gearbox will die, with over 200bhp from the 24v.

 

johnny is right the t9 box is made of rhubarb

i had 2 xr4i's in the past great fun if a little boat like

 

your asking to many questions.

my own design for both chassis and body...just think along areal atom kinda lines but lighter and with more power

 

so whats the box to use? please dont say t5 as this is ment to be cheap fun

 

you can use the front off a 2.9 v6 mt75 4x4 box and bolt it to a 2.0 rwd sieera mt75 box, thats your cheepest option

 

oh make sure you get the lump with the wiring loom and all the modules, edis6 being the main hard one to find!

You'll be needing the engine mounts off the 2.8, so dont bin them, or anything till its done.

Take it you built your westfield? If so fitting the 24v wont be hard to do,

several people on interford have copys of the wiring looms, including myself, mine are a bit covered in crap , but if you have no luck sourcing them elsewhere, i can photocopy them, and post them, if i cant get the scanner to work that is!

 

500 quid! Must be a good buy, will be interested to see it finished mate!

 

Not a bad car for the money.

Hope you have a good time on track with it.

good info on gearbox for cossie v6's

 

http://www.zyworld.com/caprisport/1_Bargains.htm

engines for sale there

 

those pics remind me of how much i hated my XR4i

speak to bernie about the gearbox mate, he sells RWD MT75s off the shelf (tis what ive got, but not made by bernie)

everyone else has provided the other relevant info, wiring aint as hard as youd think and 90% of it will bolt straight up. you miht have to raid a scrapyard for a few bits but nothing major, maybe a hose or something.

 

500quid?! Can't go wrong with that!

Not sure I see what you're saying about the Westy being too fast for the road though? (not that I driven anything with that kind of capability for more than a few minutes)

 

ok cheers for all the help guys

fil, hold that thought on the wiring diagrams mate, may take you up on it

keith, the westfield is to fast for the road as your only on the throttle for a few seconds at a time then breaking like fook for the corner at least with less power your really pushing the engine so it feels faster, westfiled very rarley gets full chat on high boost on twisty sections of road and no im not a pussy behind the wheel before you say it

 

Shame to sell the WestField

Im guess ing the money that you got from it is going into this???






24v On Throttle bodies
