What you will find here: Intended to display minor modifications to my Westfield SEi, this blog now witnesses the two year rebuild (and more) after a major crash in October 2011. Have fun and feel free to add a comment at the end of any post.

Substitute

To cut out a chassis rail is one thing, to replace it is something else. The photo shows the replacement not too far away from the original location. All in all, the chassis will keep it's initial strength.
This pic is for memory only and to show the mechanical odometer drive. Once all the panels in place, it will be hidden. As speed will be measured electronically, the mechanical drive will not be connected (note shiny new paint after grinding and welding!).
Latest order placed at Burton (GB), the new Pace DSP5 competition oil pump for wet sump. With a 20% higher volume and integrated sandwich plate, it's a piece of clever engineering to replace the setup currently used. I'm even tempted to try it out without the oil cooler to save weight. The higher volume might suffice to keep the oil temperature low.
Cheers.
