Turbo'd Locost Kit Car - chasing 300bhp!

[NI_Volvo_Nut]

Will be a very very quick car with that power.

Or an awesome tyre shredder lol

It's not finished yet - I'm assured he'll get more out of it

That is going to be mental when he's fine tuned it!

That's the plan!

Still no updated power figures yet but getting video updates as it goes....



Is it possible to get bored of watching anti-lag videos?

Right that puts pressure on me.... Not sure I like that kind of pressure lol!

 

[pablo]

What about the corners?

 

[pablo]

gonna have to learn some right foot discipline lol

What about the corners?

Don't worry about them, you'll be doing all the steering with your right foot

As long as your smile is the biggest you're a winner!

Absolutely!

 

[Todd]

Unreal! Looking forward to seeing it on track!

So the latest is that it made 260bhp but with a misfire. I forgot to fit the new and properly gapped spark plugs when I swapped the engines - oops.

Mark swapped them for some Denso Platinums and went again. Not sure what power it made on the final run, or if it made any more power.

260bhp though..... I'll take it

 

[slickcell]

Why have one when you can have two?!

It's a factory built Westfield Wide body (rolling chassis) and I'm sure you can all imagine what I intend to do with it! Lol

Swapping all of my tarty bits to this chassis will end me up with a seriously sweet little Westfield. No amount of money will ever make my car a proper Westfield so this coming up at the price it did was just too good to pass up

PM me a price for the locost "terrible" chassis?

You Sir are winning.

Haha! Not sure about winning but yeah, I have certainly developed a problem

 

[neil-c]

Flip you dont stop! lol Surely you'll take the locost out for a few runs before pulling it all apart for the new chassis??

Aye, I might..... Or I might go full bore with the two side by side and switch all the bits over on a long weekend then take the Westy out for a rattle!

Is the westy going to be all that much better?

Also, definitely put some miles on the Locost first, better to find and fix any teething problems there I would say.

To be honest, the Westy probably won't be a better car, no. But it will be a Westfield and for the amount of money I've put into it, I'm thinking it might retain slightly more value.
