good news! when you out and about in it.. are you planning to attend any late season shows.
As for the locking what tyres you running. if them Avon's have been sat a while they have a tendancy to go hard and then there is noooooo grip
Im running R888's there sweet after you get a little heat into them
Yeah I might do, but I may wait until next year when the car is fully finished
What wheels/tyre sizes are you running on yours out of interest?
Im running 15x9 on the rear with zero offset (its wide) with 235/50/15 tyres. My diff is a LSD from the XR4x4 3.6 IIRC and that hits the limiter in 4th at 108mph but cruises nicely at 80
yours may be a little undergeared with the 4.1 diff
Mines off the road for the winter now... although im still on the look out for another track day
It's road legal
All MOT'd and Taxed on Saturday and been hooning it around over the weekend. All I can say is wow
It's so lively and facking quick. I'm going to be using it for the next couple of weeks until the bad weather comes, also may go up to Bedford autodrome near the end of the month and see what it and I am capable of
Couple of pics of Amy taking it out:-
Sorry about the cushion, I had to build for the tallest of us i.e. me
I'll try and get some video footage this week
V. Jealous! That looks like huge fun!
I bet that's fun. I took a mates Caterham R300 out for a spin last week and had a massive grin on my face when I returned.
not much of an update apart from the fact I had to rip the engine out on Sunday due to a oil leak at the rear. Turned out the rear crack sill had a rip in itanyhow all fixed again and looking forward to driving it
Might see if I can do a couple of track days this year yet
Only given 1 passenger ride officially so far and he said it's faster than his mates 600bhp R33 GTR

let me know if you are out and about or at any track days... i need an excuse to get mine out.. lol
I'm just asking about Oulton Park on the 13th
this thing is fast!! dan took me out in it the other day... top work mate will be mint was all finished
A little update
went for a jolly with my mate on his CBR600, and I can now officially say that my westfield is a bike killer
Only just pulled away but just is more than enough for me, especially as I'm only on about 10psi of boost and have another 18 psi of where that came from
Went on about a 100 mile journey with some lovely twisty roads, was a great day.
Only 3 mis-haps occurred the 1st being running out of petrol
2nd being loosing one of my wheel arches
3rd being loosing my sunglasses whilst checking my blind spot
Anyhow more to come next year I think, now that Winter is coming.
Dan
Ha ha good work! Mines off the road for the winter.
Word of warning, don't race a gsxr1000 with power comander.. My mate made me look
stupid lol although he did say it was 600 pace.
What's the grip level like on yours?
Grip is superb when the tyres are warm, also doesn't take long to get warm if you follow
Dude!!!!!!! Where did you get the 180sx oil filer housing?
I have a Kit car with a CA18det & it hits the steering coloum! Im guessing the 180sx was off the Ca18?
Been hunting everywhere cant get hold of one
nice work.how did you run out of fuel?no gauge?
Dan, that is cool-as. Bet it goes well? - i'd love to do one of these as I had an Seight a few years ago but sold it when my son was born.
Do you have any pics of the finished bonnet? from the earlier shots it looks like it would need a good few extra inches of height to clear the SR20
sticky tires are a must ay
i need a bigger tank now... cruising its only 100miles to a tank.
im still running the std oil housing as the water cools the oil iirc i used a slightly shorter filter and it clears fine
I don't think they did one for the CA
Dan
nah. no fuel gauge. Also being ambitious with trying to make it somewhere further than my fuel tank had in itnice work.how did you run out of fuel?no gauge?
Yeah it's facking quick, we'll find out how quick at the end of the month. Hopefully going on the Bedford circuitit will get there
I think I'm on about 60 miles to a tank (about 30 litres)sticky tires are a must ay

I'm going to add an oil cooler this weekend, as when I rag it the oil gets so thin you can hear the cams
