Back in 2016, it was no one under 12, belts must be worn, helmets not required and disclaimers to be filled in and signed (bring a pen!). I’m pretty sure a 6’ young man will be fine, but I’d advise bringing his passport for ID purposes just in case - that and getting him to practice lying about his age! I said 16 just in case, happy to be wrong. More details will be provided later I’m sure. No doubt it’s to stop excited children falling or jumping out mid-lap. The rules may well be different in 2026. I will say now that if you’re going on the parade lap not to wander too far away from your car! Last time, they gathered us up about 90 minutes before the lap and moved us to the staging area at trackside. If you miss the staging call, you are highly unlikely to be allowed to join late. I also suggest a Parade Lap WhatsApp group near the day so that everyone can be pinged and kept up to speed so they don’t miss the staging call!

Do you know any more info regarding this? I very much intend taking my 13 year old son (who is also 6' tall, so it would be debatable if anyone would question his age) round with me, but I have no roof, nor any way of ever attaching anynsich thing, and suspect many others also don't. Is having a roll hoop sufficient, do you think?

I have booked Donington on 30/3/26 as my first track day of the year. It would be good to meet up with any other club members if attending

Genuine Ford Motorsport RS Turbo series 1 wheels 4 No. in good condition, no kerbing or dints with original paint finish not refurbed. Tyres are old and should be scrapped. Used as track day wheels on my Westfield. 85BB - BA 5.5x14 ET41 Motorsport 9059022. Yokohama centre caps can easily be changed. Great wheels for track days as 14” dia helps with acceleration over normal 15” wheels on Westfields.

Outstanding work @Martin Aldred - Shows & Events Coordinator very well done, off to book now! I’ve been on a parade lap around Silverstone before and it’s a great experience. A couple of quick things: The more members who buy tickets and buy them early, the better of a pitch we will get on the day. In 2016, we had about 65 members with cars and we got an infield pitch next to the Wellington Straight, which was fabulous for watching the racing. Lower numbers will get us a pitch in a car park. How good this turns out to be is down to us collectively, so book it, Danno! If you are bringing your child under age 16, it’s likely they will make you do the parade lap with the roof on (see photo above). If that’s you, bring your roof to avoid supremely disappointing your child! (Yeah, I know, it’s zero protection in the event of any misfortune, but them’s the rules.). I’m sure this will be confirmed closer to the time, but pre-warned is no bad thing. £40 is also less expensive than it was in 2016! See you all there!

Booked Parade lap did it.

Andy, Crazy is a word often used with Westfield builds. Yes, you're crazy to take this on, do yourself and your sanity a favour and back out now. It's not too late to save yourself. Think of the hours you're going to spend on the internet, looking for advice from people who don't know what a Westfield is, the keyboard warriors of the kit car world. Yes that part will fit, possibly. And I have one in stock, here's the payment details for my bank in Roumania. Otherwise, welcome to the club, also known as the madhouse. Good luck. John.

Calling @The Machinist to the thread please…

Crazy is just a state of mind! You’ll get lots of help here, especially spending money on upgrades… This area is where you can download build manuals, which could prove invaluable. Good luck - we’re all counting on you.

Evening do you still have the windscreen fillet by any chance? Thanks Andy

Mine is going to be for sale in the next month

Yes hopefully all weekend

Still looking

Awesome Andy. Warm welcome. Looking forward to those questions! As for arriving on the back of a truck. Most of us have lived that one. Do consider starting a build thread over here - https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/forum/103-build-diaries/ A great place to attract the very knowledgeable folks on here! Look forward to meeting you out and about with the club. HB.

Fantastic looking car, with all the right bits. GLWTS

I ve always fancied a Westfield but seemed out of reach until now .wow I've got my work cut out and a long time,so guess I'll be asking a few questions or help in some form. Thanks for letting me join the club. Here's my wreck...

Thats great, thanks!

I have an SBD on mine I think you would have a problem with the width of those as well. hopefully one will come up. I will keep you in mind if anything comes up.

Sorry Jem but cost to weight makes it not worth it so collection only unfortunately.

Hi Ollie are you happy to send on a pallet. thanks Jem

So the time is approaching when my daughter will turn 17. I sacrificed my ‘daily RS3’ to be able to buy the Westfield and bought a cheap run around to get me to work and back. When my daughter turns 17 she will begin her driving journey and I will give her my run about, but this means I will need to have a new daily. I can’t justify having 4 cars at home, nor do I have the space, so reluctantly I’m listing my Westy for sale. I’m in absolutely no rush to sell and will continue to enjoy it. It is sitting there in perfect form waiting for me / you. The car is currently on my own registration, but upon agreeing a sale it will go back to its age related 2010 '10' plate. Before I get into spec, the main things to note are, this car comes with a Brian James Minno trailer, fitted with tyre rack and tool / jerry can box. It also comes with its road wheels Comp CXR’s and a set of track wheels which are TD 1.2, both in 13” wearing R888. I have some spares to go with the car such as the standard rear arches, some bushes etc, a new set of LED head lights and a few other bits and pieces. The car wants for nothing! It will come with 12 months MOT ( its due in April ). It’s the perfect road legal track package. I was a Technician for Audi / Mercedes for 20 years before moving out the trade to make all your beer / cider £ soft drinks cans, so I'd like to think I'm qualified to say this is a faultless car. It drives so well on the road, the gear change is the best manual I've ever used, and the noise this thing makes is to awesome. I've never driven anything quite like it. I've never managed to make it understeer, even on track, the grip is phenomenal. It's ballistic in a straight line aswell with 230 BHP and weight 572 KG which gives it a power to weight ratio of 402 BHP / Tonne Any questions or enquires, please don’t hesitate to ask. It’s easiest to get me on whatsapp or text 07590 573507, But I do log on WSCC quite often. So on to the car. The car is built on a 2010 Aerorace chassis power by a Zetec blacktop that was brand new at build date, the most recent rolling road graph I have shows 232bhp at the flywheel and 212bhp at the wheels Full Specification 2010 Aerorace chassis with removable rear arches (chassis marginally lighter and stiffer than the road chassis of the same period) fully road legal and the same dimensions as the standard SEIW. 14K miles It will have 12 months MOT 572 KG with ½ a tank of fuel Engine .Built in 2010 with new Zetec Blacktop .Head ported and polished by CNC heads and matched with their specification cam. Following this link ( http://www.cncheads.co.uk/?p=755 ) takes you to the website the tuner provides on this head and cam combination for more info, extrapolating the power claims CNC make ( 215bhp @ 6400rpm and 247 bhp @ 8200rpm) to the 7500rpm limit on this car fairly accurately supports the claimed power output on this engine. .Arrow engineering buckets .ARP rod bolts .Balanced and polished crank .Standard Zetec flywheel machined and lightened by CNC Heads .Raceline sump .Omex 600 ECU .Jenvey throttle bodies .Bosch green injectors .Simpson Race Exhausts aluminium manifold 4 into 2 into 1 ( http://simpsonraceexhausts.com/manifolds/ ) .Westfield carbon silencer .Bespoke breathers all feeding into a aluminium catch tank in the nose cone, although very little oil ever gets blown into the tank. .Most importantly lots of time and effort spent mapping the engine. Despite it's relatively high state of tune it starts easily hot or cold, idles nicely and is generally very drivable with no grumpiness or nasty flat spots. In the interest of longevity the limiter is set at 7500 rpm at which point the power curve is still climbing. It also makes some lovely burbles and pops on the overrun. .Centroid fuel sender which gives a better accurate fuel level reading. .Brand new black Aluminium race radiator from Radtec with 60mm core and Aerorace ducting ( http://radtec.co.uk/products/331/Vauxall-Ford-Cosworth.htm ) This was found to be leaking last year due to the wrong coolant, I had a new one made by them and used the correct coolant. .Custom pipe work and thermostat housing which ensures this car never has the cooling issues some Zetec Westfield suffer from, coolant temp is rock solid in both traffic and in hard use on track .Custom carbon fibre air duct to radiator Drivetrain .Helix fast road clutch .Rebuilt Cossi 3.92 LSD, no clunks or play and locks up nicely but not too aggressively. BGH E8 type 9 gearbox. Ratios and price listed in the following link, this is the strongest and most expensive 'box BGP supply ( http://www.bghgeartech.co.uk/html/5_speed.html ). The ratios suit the engine very well with a usefully long first and 5th geared to a theoretical max of about 140mph. (Ratios are 2.66/1.75/1.26/1.00/0.86) Chassis .Standard Aerorace chassis with associated extra bracing in comparison to same era road chassis, this car does not have lowered floors. .Protech single adjustable shocks valved and setup by Procomp in Birmingham along with a full geometry setup, car runs with a reasonable amount of negative camber and some toe out at the front which gives a pretty sharp turn it, understeer isn't really something it understands! .Anti roll bars are fitted to the front and rear .13 inch Compomotive CXR wheels in black with medium compound Toyo R888R in 205/50/13. .Rallydesign Quickrack and sort steering arms fitted. Unlike some of the so called 'quickrack' setups I've seen this gives a real two turns lock to lock with the arches almost touching the tub on both sides on full lock, ie it's a genuine quick rack, not the version Westfield sell which is far from it and gives a terrible turning circle. .Westfield alloy uprights both front and rear. .Westfield widetrack front wishbones. .Rapfix quick release steering boss has been fitted with a momo suede Mod.26 wheel .Braking is a full AP racing setup including master cylinder and front and rear callipers. Fitted with Ferodo DS2500 pads and a brake bias adjuster. .The car (in my opinion) drives beautifully, it's pointy, intuitive and hugely predictable but the setup is still relatively soft which means it's eminently useable as a road car with sensible ground clearance and great compliance while still being blisteringly quick on track. Other Bits .Track prepared 13 inch ProRace 1.2 wheels in black with medium compound Toyo R888R in FRONT 185/50/13 REAR 205/50/13. .Floor mounted Westfield padded race seats with 4 point Westfield harness for passenger and in date FIA 6 point harness for driver. ( This is currenyl4 point, but can be reverted back to 6 point & drivers seat is on sliding rail ) .Momo 280 suede steering wheel .FIA approved Caged Roll Cage with homologation sticker. New plumbed in Lifeline2020 fire extinguisher system. Lifeline FIA rain light which is wired to additionally act as fog light for MOT purposes. FIA approved battery cut off switch (which doubles up as a good security addition.

It's got a great spec and, much more importantly, it's been really carefully built by someone who knew what they were doing and had both the time and cash available to do the job properly. I don't have to sell it but it will make life easier getting my daughter into a decent car and me into a useable everyday car ( TTRS hopefully ) I’m looking for £22,000 for everything.
