Agreed - and yes it’s entirely up to you.

Thanks for the response. But that was exactly what I wanted to avoid, going down the risk versus cost debate. I just wanted clarification on the rules. In my opinion driving on the road, where most of my miles will be done, is inherently more dangerous than driving on my own, up a hill climb. ( Track day / racing completely different). We all way up risk ourselves. I ride motorbikes on the road, and have raced. Again I’m aware of the risks and still view my Westfield on a hill climb with no roll over protection as safer. And if I do have a problem, I’ve only got myself to blame. So out of interest do you know the answer to my original question. Or should I just use my MR2 also with no roll over protection, but I know for a fact that doesn’t require it. 😄

No sign of the map reader though !!!! Under the table probably 🤣

We have our map ready.

Hi, looking for a ZK rear antiroll bar as mine broke and the Westfield parts shop does not sell those.

That’s a huge understatement - in my view, for any competitive event, it is essential not advisable to replace the “jap” (aka chocolate) cosmetic roll bar with something that would actually save your life in the event of a rollover.

I just attended Gurston Down hill climb school. I have to say had a fantastic day, would totally recommend. Now, to have a go properly, if I’ve read the rules correctly, my Westfield would fit into “road going specialist production” . I know before I ask this, that it would be advisable to have better roll over protection. But is it required by the rules in this class. ( my reading is, it isn’t) at present, only have Jap bar. Reason I ask, is that I have another car ( MR2) that will not need modifications to compete and I could use this. But I’d much prefer to use Westfield.

Hi Martyn, I'm having to pull out of this event due to work commitment, I'm sorry for the short notice. Rusty

Thanks for all the messages Im now sorted Ive brought a complete brand new set from protech as they have done me an awesome deal

Have to say, that's very impressive. I admire people who can do stuff like this (I can't!)

Best way to save weight for sure, not the cheapest tho 🤣 But I can vouch for Ash's parts quality, gorgeous stuff. Surely the best Westfield carbon parts money can buy.

No, sorry. I'd sell the whole package. But I'm also happy to keep it. If I use it in a project in the future, then I'd want it to have the billet sump on.

If they remember to turn on the lights…

you will need a 19mm radius rolled lower edge for IVA.

Think it’s an age thing 🧐

Do you guys meet there every month?

... I think @Stuart Davis AO - Devon Cornwall & Somersetis taking orders for seats/padding. I'm pretty sure his come in for less than £400 a side.

Less than ideal.

I only received the membership expired email not the 30 day renewal reminder unfortunately. I think the 30 day reminder is the ideal solution 👍

Would you consider selling just the sump?

My first one was make from alloy sheet.

That is mad! Another option is put on some weight so you are nicely ‘tight’ in the seat. Acceptable with age.

plywood?

If you thought Westfield parts prices were expensive… In my old Westfield (sold 10 yrs ago), I had Tillett seats and bought a pad set with them to make them a bit more comfy. The pad set is simply 2 pieces of thin foam (one for you bum and one for your back) Roll on 10 years, and I’m back in a Westfield, fitted with caterham tillet seats. I’m finding I slip down in them a little so looked a buying a pad set from tillett…. !!£400!! That’s just for one seat.. Think I’ll be making my own…

Nice car, good luck with the sale. The zetec r is quite happy in my car too👍
