    C-wests S14...

    Has anyone got intouch with the importers from here. I gave them a call yesterday to find out the score and they did say they had lots of interest from people. Natually i thought they'd be from the board...

    I was thinking of selling mine and getting that instead

    Not to everyones taste but i love it...

    Does anyone know the full spec of the car, they won't tell me until it docks.

    it's not that they wont tell you, it's that they don't know.. In reponse to me asking is it the ex C-West demo car? they said "I've never heard of C-West". They were also saying that they thought it was 4 wheel drive
    It could be a very nice car IMO, I hope someone from the board gets it

    The only pain in the arse appart from knowing nothing about the car is that its in scotland once docked

    So its not a case of just poping up to have a look. That why i wandered if anyone knew the spec. If it is a C-west demo there must be some gumpf on it somewhere. How many companies fit that kit and that engine to a S14...

    that car's worth a trip to Scotland

    ditto what Phil said - it would be good if a board member got this car

    Because i'm not sure of the mods and who has done the work, i'm not sure what to do. Selling my car is a big thing which i'd need to be sure of first...

    Appart from that it shouldn't be a problem, not even sure what power its running and how much heavier it would be...

    Have you tried asking C-West? Surely there's a load of info on it on their site?

    There are C-west disty's in the US and Aus, maybe worth a call to one of them.

    Its not the same car. If you look at Dans link, there is a topmont turbo, no plug cover, different spoiler, orange indicators etc...

    So it must be a copy, still lovely though. May explain the lower price than you'd emagine...

    That's a shame. Still looks nice though.
