I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

It must be fixed or replaced as it starts and runs fine, unless the smoke only happens at high revs?

the seller mab ltd is a car body repair shop in Cheshire, and pretty much all his cars he has sold where his sisters or mothers according to his
listings, but if you look at his buyer feedback he's bought a lot of repair panels for said cars!, that made me look deeper and found the topic
on wscc forum, i'm glad I did some digging as I was going to paypal a deposit for it!

that's not how wankels work, they will run fine from cold but once fully upto temp smoke like a pig when they are down on compression

I like the fact that he thinks back pressure has destroyed his engine

excessive back pressure on a wankel heats up the rotor housing faster than the rotors and reduces the operating area of the rotor tips, this wears the
tips and causes low compression and smoking and a bill for £2000 for a rebuild

In a nutshell, on the forum he says the engines wanked on the eBay ad he doesn't.

Unless i'm reading it wrong it's the original owner who says the engine is shot, not the bloke now selling it, looks to me
like the second poster on WSCC bought it from the OP presumably cheaply and is now flogging it on ebay for a profit.
Fair enough he might be a shyster trying to pull a fast one, but what's to say he's not fixed it between then and now, maybe the motor was
not shot? who knows, not me, or anyone else on here thats for sure......

i am the person selling the car , nothing sinsister at all if you read the advert , the engine was suppoosed to be smoking ,it was bought for a
customer who was planning on us fitting a bike engine and letting wgt have the removed engine and box but obviously had rose tinted glasses and
obviously had no money and let me down worst thing is its a freind , but i still bought the car as to not let the seller down at worst i will get my
money back from the purchase and collection fee , as it clearly states in the advert pip from wgt auto developments (rx specialists)has looked at the
car and he says it all looks and souns fine ,no undue smoke or anything but he will be doing a hot compression test leter this week when he has time ,
i have nothing to hide i have even contacted gavin from who we bought it to let him know we cannot find any engine issue
i wish people would not put two and two together and get ten without knowing the facts
i did reply to the question asked on ebay by the op when he said the engine was knackered ,stating what i have just posted in this thread yet he
still posted this thread on here
i have been a wscc member sinse 1997 and have building and repairing westfields i even have westfield chassis jigs and have several customer
westfields in at the moment for repair ,i aslo build and repair elise's and other older lotus cars elans 26rs etc and have been for 20 odd
years so would like to think i know what im doing , yes i own a body shop and have done for 27 years it is insurance approved , i do buy salvage cars
and sell cars and parts i also buy parts to repair them from ebay amongst other places etc etc ,
strange place the interweb sometimes when people stick there noses in though
thanks steve

no problem at all mate , the thing that boils my wee is i got several pm's on the wscc telling me about this thread i have never been on here
before but i find bashracing lying through his teeth , he sent me one message on ebay which i replied to and was honest in my reply ,he has not sent
me anymore messages so why lie and say he has and that i'm not responding to them now and then start a thread on here ,its beyond belief
,yes i have dropped the price , so what thats up to me im the seller thats my perogative
tbh its the kind of thing kids do start threads and lie but in reality it can ruin someones buisness , i have been in buisness 27 years and i dont
want my reputation spoiled by lies on here when i have been serving the wscc comunity well as far as i know for years
people have been saying to me for years why not go on locostbuilders its great on there loads of nice easy going folk and some good info and techi
threads , i didnt expect to be on here having to defend myself from lies ,because of this thread i am even getting threatening messages through ebay ,
seriously what is wrong with people ,i have been totally honest as i said i have even contacted the origonal owner letting them know whats going on ,
people have even been reporting me to ebay ,for what telling the truth
how can people say the engine is no good when no one off here has seen the car or had it running yet feel they are experts on it enough to post on
here even though a rotary specialist has said it all seems fine some people are even sending threatening messages through ebay

I am a member of the Westfield club and Steve has over and over again proved what a standup guy he is. For many members who have had accidents Steve
has straightened their chassis at no charge an offer he made to the club at that time, he has bought and sold cars to club members and as far as I am
aware he is straight talking and honest. It is sad in this day and age that making a profit is still seen as being wrong by others.

It would be worth most of the asking price even as a non runner, I can't see the issue either sorry. Have any of the people complaining about it
actually made offers or asked to see it ?
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Seems simple to me if you want to buy the car look at it yourself and decide if the car is ok if you don't want to buy it shut up and
don't slag people off on a forum
I'm sure every member on here describes everything they sell on eBay perfectly accurately and don't use it to get rid of crap that
doesn't work properly
