Current Cars

Well, apart from the daily driver (Jag XF) we have 2 'toys' in the garage, and they are very different:

Porsche 911 (996) with GT3 kit, LSD, Sports exhaust, sports interior etc etc
 This is a very easy and nice car to drive, as the wife likes using it too!!

Westfield SEIW, with a 184bhp DOHC VX engine, running on Jenvey throttle bodies and all the other bells and whistles you need!  I was looking for a while at what to get to replace the R1 MK INDY (which I sold last March), thought about all sorts of options, such as a supercharged VX220 but decided on the Westfield as I remember the fun I had in the R1 MK INDY on tracks.  The Westfield is FAR superior in every way to the MK INDY, as the previous owner was very fastidious and made an excellent job of the car.  Anyway, a few pictures:



Been out in it a few times and am VERY impressed with the speed and the way it handles.  had to lower the driver's seat a few inches and I fit in it so much better now.  Was thinking of raising the steering wheel too but I do not think it needs it, but we will see.

Went out for a bit today:


Still not fully used to it yet but getting more and more confident now!  May need to look at a new camera mind as this was taken with an old Oregon Scientific action cam.

Been thinking of a few things to do to improve the car slightly (in my opinion):
1.  DINOC the tunnel top and side panels, and maybe even the rear bulkhead?
2.  Maybe change the shift light from the single light, to a sequential version, as in this link SHIFT LIGHT.

Anyway, that is all for now and will update as I progress with it.
