I've been running chunks of what I think was concrete over, although it could've been a brick or chunk of kerbstone. I couldn't see it until the very last moment as it was the same colour as the road and in dappled shade, although I certainly felt it as it bounced the car into the air! I'm damn glad I didn't go over it a few inches to the right, as I suspect at least the sump and oil pump would've been trashed. Guess I get to practice my aluminum and steel working skills some more in the near future......

I’d love to join you guys on the 1st but I’ve already got an eye on 3rd. My mate is taking his Fiesta ST240 for the day testing, along with an x-touring car driver for tuition….. I’ll pop along in some capacity, even if it’s just to say ‘Hi’!

Only 1 way to learn…..🤔

Very nice and similar to mine, fantastic bikes 😎

And the steering feels a lot lighter too.

Almost same as me 6 years

I'm booked on 👍 1m21.0...... just saying 😉😂

You must have seen me driving? Only 7 years.

Nice is that for when you fail mr starmers new road tests for the retired .

Soz got pics mixed up there

Just got myself a new bike, retirement present but not retired yet😉

Yes i still think the pics ive seen of your car previously with 205s look better its a shame the r888s are 140 odd each id like to get my hands on a couple of used 185s just to try

Fabulous colour 😁

Smaller sidewalls, less flex upon turning I suppose?

I'd love to own that thing! I don't know anything about those engines though.

Here’s my car with 185/60 13 front wheels. Whilst the wheels don’t fill the arches, I don’t think they look horrendous. The car was initially fitted with 195/50 15 wheels, which probably did look a little better. However the change to a smaller front tyre and rim width in my opinion, has made the car much more agile.

205/60/13 is 57 cm diameter and 185/6013 is 55cm (edit - mistake corrected) , so 10mm difference in ride height. I would not bother in road car, in track - needs lot of tests as change in ride height changes angle of wishbone and steering rod, and ride height changing is involved with change of sprong preload, lot of fun

Hi John, thank you very much for your prompt reply. I would love to be added to the WhatsApp group to keep informed of meets, info etc. as I’m still finding my feet with my Westfield. Kind Regards Darryl My number is 07532497982.

If this doesn’t tempt him, nothing will!

Sent this to my brother…. Trying to tempt him into Westfield ownership

Well i was concerned about the width of my arches it might look a little silly with skinny tyres im not sure if thers much difference in height both being 60 profile they said it would feel much sharper turning in to corners and less heavy to steer which it isnt an issue to me .

Did any of them say WHY you should change? Again, keen to hear what you discover when you change them. What other changes would be needed? Lower the front ride height, make sure the wings sit nicely over the narrower tyres I guess, or change the wings? Would it affect anything else?

Breakfast meeting again this Sunday morning from 10am at The Darrington Hotel, Darrington, Pontefract, WF8 3BL. The weather is going to be good so who's coming?
