westfield with 4.5 AJP engine
Discussion
What do I think of it? I think it's a little bit silly. In a good way. But http://www.legalandgeneral.com/life-cover/
Any videos?

, what's the spec of the lump and has mine finally lost its crown................
but if you have to have a non-bike related V8 in a lightweight car, I'd say the AJP is the obvious choice... The engine spec is as per Harry W and makes a little less power due to the restricted induction, so Harry your car is safe.
The Westfield handles the power particularly well and with the Toyo 888 tyres it doesn't seem to need more tyres yet.
They are not a daily driver tyre like you need on a Cerbera and as a result (rain excepted) they seem to cope very well.
The characteristics of the engine with a smooth long torque curve and improved gearing (T5 box) mean it drives very well compared to my Rover V8. This felt just as fast initially but then was all done by 5000rpm. This engine just keeps going :-)

Thanks guys for the positive comments. My 2CV racing (yes really), a bit of driver training and owning the car since it was built,all help me to keep it shiny side up. I did say to Mrs T, that any accident will be a big one. As I drive a 2CV most days it does help; as in these things if you crash you die, so don't plan to crash and rely on airbags, drive accordingly !
Hi Guys
No videos yet, just settling into the owning and driving bit again after a long spell of it being converted. It is driving well and thinking of a trackday or two. However even on the open road, it drives so easily at low speeds and all temperatures are well controlled. I even think that access to the engine for maintenance is easier than in your Cerbera's. I am running the engine in for 1000 miles or so and then get a hub dyno run check to see how it performs after this. It is plenty fast. It is quite noisy though and Paul has done me a simple noise reduction solution to almost block one tail pipe , so hope I can make the 105db for Oulton Park. Anyone in Cheshire may see me enjoying it responsibly on local roads until then.
I have to say that the standard of workmanship is wonderful and the boys at Austec especially Neil and Andy (Mr Relentless) have gone above and beyond to help me get it sorted.
Cheers Jon
