Brief Details about the car

This is a 1992 Westfield SE - built by someone else who used it for drag racing.  Believe me when I say that it is far easier to build than Re-build as you have to fix the previous owners mistakes (if there are any) which in this case were many.
I have listed my rebuild on another page (See my build).  It has been rewired by hand in as much as Wire by wire rather than buying a built loom. It took perishing ages but it's very satisfying to see it working (First time too).

I was going to spray the car but after doing the front wings and nosecone, I lost heart as it started to chip so as you can see in the later pics, it has been re-bodied, I'm so pleased with it now.

Before I re-bodied it, I fitted a 16 valve Vauxhall XE engine. This was a must as a few months ago, our club went for a rather fast blat and I got left behind somewhat, so an upgrade was top of the list. I've listed as many parts and tips in the XE Build pages,  I hope you find this useful.

• 2.0 16 valve XE from a Calibra
• Twin 45 Dellortos with 36mm chokes
• Vauxhall 8v Distributor and coil
• ARP Rod bolts
• Special alloy sump
• Early Vauxhall flywheel (Lighter than later ones)
• Omex Rev limiter fitted as I was afraid of over-revving the engine, it revs so easily.
• 163 bhp @ wheels, not sure what this equates to but the guy at the rolling road said
  you lose about 25% so that would make it around the 203bhp at the flywheel?
• SBD 4-2-1 steel exhaust manifold
• Wunoff 6" silencer
• Standard Spax adjustable dampers all round
• Cortina uprights
• Escort Live axle with 4.1 ratio
• Ford Type 9 with standard ratios
• Modified gear-lever
• VW polo aluminium / plastic radiator
• Pacet fan 12" fan
• Rover expansion tank with minimum hosing
• Home made dash fitted with yellow ETB intruments
• Fitting an Omex rev limiter as I don't want to wreck the engine - Done!
• Finishing off the spray job - Canned, rebodied instead
• Fit an engine management system some time
• Possibly fit a close ratio gearbox
