2001 Westfield Megabusa Turbo

Road Registered but Race Ready (Needs nothing to compete.)

I’ve been racing my beloved Westy for 7 years with SEMSEC and of late BARC in the Sevenesque series, due to work commitments I have decided to part with her (Not an easy decision)

I did 3 seasons with her in normally aspirated trim and managed to win the SEMSEC Overall Club Championship in 2010, with 11 wins and 3 seconds out of 14 races, best lap on treaded tyres round Brands Hatch was a respectable 52.3 seconds with 165hp at the tyres. I then decided to up my game and turbo charged her.  Initially I had gearbox problems after I fitted a Quaife gear set, but after ditching that and using an Extreme Engines modified Suzuki set, she’s been as good as gold.

I have dyno printouts for 310hp at 10psi of boost, she is happy at about 1 bar though, which should equate to around 350hp. The engine is built to the same spec as the motorcycle drag racing boys with 600hp.

Of late she’s done the Birkett, with a lap of 2.19 round the Silverstone GP Circuit and had a second and a win at Rockingham in May, then Brands Hatch in July she had 3 thirds, best lap 51.3 seconds. The best lap I’ve had round Brands on (old) slicks was a 50.5, I know the car is capable of a sub fifty lap and I’m devastated not to have achieved it!

 

With 350hp and around 530kg’s this is a blisteringly fast car, footage of her in action can be seen on Youtube under Steve Garner

 

 

In the time I have raced the Westfield she has never been in any kind of impact or crash, she has however picked up the usual battle scars and chips associated with racing, I have decided to tidy the car up but will not be spraying or re-bodying her, this is reflected in the price  I am hoping for.

I am prepared to arrange a trackday at Brands Hatch for genuine parties that can prove some sort of previous experience. I am also prepared to give support to the new owner (for a sum to cover my expenses) to get them going.

Knowing what I've spent on mine and it's not turbocharged this is a bargain,

I keep looking at this, but then I remember how much trouble I would be in with the wife. The problem is I am terrible at selling cars and she has finally put her foot down. If it's still available once I sell my existing toys I will be in touch.
