    I wish my 200 sounded like it.

    Yeah it's off the road for the winter now, took the engine and gearbox out of it today due to gearbox failure

    I've made a rough bonnet which will get made into a nice FRP version

    also going to tidy it up alot, and possibly next year sell it. I'm really wanting a TVR Cerbera at the moment so the Westfield may fund this

    Anyhow will upload some more pics as soon as they happen, at the moment I have this to finish by Spring and my 800SX to finish

    What do you want to see / hear? Can you point me to good video on the forum here?

    Our video cam is pretty ancient - not sure what I'll be able to get out of it, but I'll have a crack at it.



    Sorry to hear about your gearbox, Dan. BTW, What in the world is an 800SX? An 8-litre engine shoe-horned into a 200SX shell???

    Regards,

    Jamie

    That's a hell of a nice Westy you have there, FMG. A bit of genuine automotive history even, it being pre-lit and all. Good luck with the sale (or get yourself a bigger shed and keep it ).

    There's no way that my video will look anything like that one of FMG's. I'll be gaffa taping the old Sony HandyCam to the roll bar and seeing how that comes out. Fortunately the camera has an external mic socket so I maybe I'll be able to pick up the dulcet tones of the 'zorst without too much interference from the wind.

    It might take me a few days - work / family will intrude until the weekend most likely.

    Regards,

    Jamie

    OK - just one of the Westy idling, 'cos it's easy to do with a regular camera.



    I'm trying to get something with the car in motion but the wind noise is horrendous at the moment. More fiddling required.

    Regards

It's also really good for styling hair You have to concentrate on breathing through your nose as you probably have air blow out your arse if you open your mouth.

    It's fapping fast! Mid range is really impressive, overtaking car's is done in a second or 2. Thing I think it's a bit deceiving, because when your in the car you're aware of how fast it is, but because it's all so well done it doesn't feel too shocking as it's all under good control.

    Perspective - I drove my car shortly afterwards and it's then when it dawned on me just how quick this westfield is. It's hard when in the car to compare it against anything else you've been in as it's so different, but it's so obvious when you get in to another car just how ridiculous this machine is.

    Anyway Dan, turn the boost up more, you can never have too much power
