Ok I finally made a decision on which kit to go for .i ve gone for the Westfield s2000 starter kit ,wide body ,light weight chassis and body work with
roll Cage mounting points welded in for when I change it over to full track /race car.i bought a sierra Cosworth 7.5inch rear diff with 3.6.4 ratio
LSD with 108mm driveshaft connections and am currently stripping the diff and driveshafts down to re condition.Car wise I gone for the FW bodywork
model and have had the aluminium panels powder coated black and the chassis,suspension arms done in black as well.
Is the westfield chassis designed to take a 7.5 inch diff ? I thought they used 7 inch ?
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.

Sorry my mistake its a j s racing throttle bodie instead of the oem honda one so i think the difference is stock are 62mm and this is 70mm and the
reason s are firstly i have the AT power ITB s but would like to simplify the ecu setup by removing the ITB s and fitting the single j s racing one
.That way mapping will be easyier for now.

I agree really nice spec. Must have cost a bomb.

Excuse my lack of new terminology...but what's a "built" engine? Is it different from one that is merely assembled?
Or is it that it's "built" or blueprinted with high end racing spec. components?

Few more updates on the car.my original plan was to build a kit car with my dad as it was his life long dream for us to do it together.Any way we then
decided to go for a rolling chassis built by westfield which has now nearly been completed.Any way my dad got taken ill 10 days ago and now has passed
away.This project now has now meanings to me now as i hoped to work together on it.so i m thinking now how best to houner him with this car and i
hoped i could get aa magazines feature as the engine is unique and a nice one off diff and we bought all top spec parts to fit to it,i just feel i owe
it to my dad .lso could someone give me step by step info on uploading pics

hi there could someone help me up load all these build pictures as i ve managed to add them to my profile but how do you get them on the post.I ve now
got a newly upgraded rear diff that was done by bara motorsport ,it included a complete service and new CWP Bearings,seals, uprated LSD ,and i went
for 4.1 ratio and had the origional 3.6.4 removed.Bought a nice new aluminium rad from radtec which should keep the beast cool.The kit is almost
rolling chassis but i m hoping that if i can get photos uploaded i can tidy up this thread by showing the step by step progress via pictures and my
explanation underneath.Also the bodywork has arrived to so can show it off

If you have ITBs you should use them, the car will drive much better than on one large single Throttle body
