Bend, Oregon, in the high desert, allows driving every month of the year...if you aren't particular as to which days during the winter months that you choose...
We here in Sunny California are planning to be driving Christmas Day, provided our nearly new alternators are fixed. Hopefully, our new rectifier and...
I'm probably going to be the first Westfield X1 owner in the world to see in Christmas day. So on behalf of a warm local environment may I extend all the...
It is a typical California special. What would the "original engine" be? it was most competitive with an Abarth engine. I don't think that an FWB is a problem...
Very pricey for a car with a solid axle, Appendix "C" windscreen, an un-original engine, and very little race history as a Climax powered car in the very...
That combination wont work at all on a Westfield. Nowhere near enough room in the body, and the steering feel and handling would be compromised. The trick here...
They are Michelin 225/55 R15s . However, I believe my rims are quite a bit wider than 5.5" My car is a bit removed from a Westfield, or an eleven for that...
You have 15" Panasports on your XI? Which tires? The common, standard "Minitor" 13" wheels are 5" wide, with a 3.9" backside spacing. Typical tires are all...
Hi Jan: That is the route I ultimately chose for my Locost XI, and I am very pleased with the look & the quality of the Panasports. I was able to buy them in...
Jan, MOSS sells a hardened wire wheel axle, nitrided for about $200 each. This might help with you higher HP concerns. I am considering them, depending on how...
I have been looking for alternatives to the 15" wire wheels, and may have found an alternative to installing spline conversions, or axles and hubs. These...
Hi, all. I have just ( at the Exeter Kit Car Show) put a deposit on an eleven for delivery next year. One more of us one less of them! I would be pleased to...
Shades of a Costin Amigo. The problem you have is that you will be looking through a windscreen not over. So the screen will be made of part glass, heavy and...
Watching Tiff toss the XI around made me notice how the car sort of lurches into slides as the inside wheel slips and breaks traction on corner exit. It is...
I've see that car before. It has a type 9 gearbox, not a Datsun. Other than that, the information is correct. That particular car was the US demo car that...
Not having much to do over the Thanksgiving holiday, I decided to install a TranX Limited Slip Differential into the XI. With its big bore power, short gearing...
Well done John. Enjoy the reading, take in the videos. Arrange the tools, chase up the odd bits required. Be amazed at the new friends that come into your life...
Lotus did produce a line drawing of the various body sections for the Eleven, but W&P did make some variations. I currently have the rear body section drawing...
I compared my car to 5 local Lotus 11s, and found only small differences, and a lot of similarities. Most prominent similarities were dents in the rear clam...
Hi, all, I have put a deposit on an X1 at the Westpoint Kit Car show on Sunday, delivery is next year. Would like to hear from any owner local to me, South...
In addition to the various windscreen shapes on the Westfield Eleven, don't you just love the various body shapes. I can remember picking up the rear half of...
Goto the gallery section and look up the following: In Queenstown Racing in Auckland Chassis 126 I took the hump off the rear when racing in Auckland. It now...
All true. However, this head does have the advantage of being a X flow, and allowing the exhaust side of the engine to be free of heat shields or wrapped...
I've not seen any direct comparisons to the currently available Minisport (formerly AKM) 7-port head. Or the Ken Elder 7-port head from Australia. I'm assuming...
