welcome!
I sold my westfield and built my g20 over three years ago now.... only just realised that MOT time due soon i guess!!
2ltr new blacktop zetec running jenvey 45mm throttle bodies dta ecu. I ran the factory injection system and cat but junked it having realised it was only pushing out 140bhp. Rolling roaded (three times but thats another story) now got 177bhp, which doesnt sound much but at around 600kgs it embarasses exotica without really trying.
Expect rattles and squeaks but usually fixed in a weekend with skiaflex, a box of rivets and some trial and error.
highly enjoyable, very capable car. Very different to a tvr though, very good sunglasses required and a helmet for the motorway.(i kid you not, flying lumps of metal kicked up lorries make an awful mess of ones head i speak from a too close for comfort encounter...)
But it just adds to the highly addictive adrenaline rush evertime you get in the thing.
Give me a shout if you want to know anyhting else? where are you?
what colour did you go for?
windscreen or aero screen?
you seem a bit worried?! i should add that martin was very helpfull during the build and always makes time for a chat at events no matter how busy he is. If you have got any concerns i'm sure he would take the time to put your mind at ease.

- so come along and say hello! 
James asked where I lived. Answer North Wales just outside Ruthin.
The car I have bought was built by an engineer to very high standards and is ready to go. Here is the spec:
2litre Zetec with competition main and big end bearings, H/D cambelt and clutch, 45 DCOE Webers, 3D programmable Omex Ignition and Magard throttle linkage, 4 into 2 into 1 tubular exhaust manifold, MT75 gearbox, fully adjustable suspension with Gaz coil over shocks, solid mounted rack, OZ magnesium wheels with RAC MSA list 1 Michelins, vented disks, independent rear end with 3.6 LSD, Intatrim seats custom made in yellow and sage green.
Car is in VX220 brilliant yellow paint, which is not my favourite colour. I will either look at respraying or put a large green stripe down the middle to break up the glare!
Car fitted with aeroscreen but would consider changing for larger one if it looks right.
Does anyone know where I might see a G20 with full screen, or does anyone have any pics?
Thinking of getting tonneau, but at £178 seems rather expensive and needs fixing with those horrible stud thingies.
Will post some pictures over the weekend, the car looks fantastic, hope it drives as good as it looks.

go to google and type in moto america and g20.
The silver car and yellow cars on their site have screens.
Is it a G plate car by any chance???
Make sure it has been set up correctly as it would appear most home built road cars never quite get round to going to a proffesional chassis engineers for setting up and it really does make one hell of a difference from a good handling car to an awesome car. I had mine cornerweighted and set up by Duncan who used to work for ginetta but hes over in lincolnshire but any good motorsport outfit will be able to do it. He sorted out one or two minor errors which had resulted from following the then out of date build manual too....
Enjoy.
