Westfield XTR2 restauration
Discussion
Thought you would enjoy some pics from a fresh rebuilt over the winter of my XTR2. (original W2XTR from the UK)
Total body off rebuilt with lot's of modifications.
Have converted it from RHD to LHD, rebuilt the wiring to a canbus system and new dash with logger.
Spent about 3 days polishing and cleaning the body surface. Still far from perfect, but it's a track car not a showcar.

Which Can Bus system did you use ISIS ??
Correct. Works fine. Only downside, it drains the battery quite quickly when the car is off (2-3days). You need a main switch to turn it off completely when you have a small capacity battery like me.Support and help with programming is just perfect from ISIS. (No I don't have shares or benefits from them)
As you probably know I intended to use it for my Ultima, but it got sold without the Isis so I decided to use it in the XTR.
It had a very messy wiring loom. Westfield just supplied a normal 7 loom for a mid engined car and put it together with the original hayabusa loom. Big clumsy mesh.
When I got the car it was not running reliable due to faulty wiring. So that's why the Isis came into view for the XTR.
The intelligence built in is very useable. The automatic cligno's and engine startup routines, which I had modified with sequential startup of the pumps etc. just works flawless. momentary switches or toggle, whatever you want to use works.
And offcourse no more relais. The main advantage I find over other canbus is that every output has it's own fuse, so you can very easy limit amp output to each user.

interesting Harry,
pics look good.
you sold the sport?
Yes, Someone came over to my workshop and wanted it badly. He had this XTR which I also tend to like, so made a deal.pics look good.
you sold the sport?
I can definitively say that running cost of a XTR is much lower, which also suits me, but on the track I wonder which one would be faster.
I've done a short testrun on the track and the car is much faster in corners than I dare to go for now.
