In case anyone else needs to know, registered November 2006. Nice car. And in the best colour of course, no wonder it's so quick 😂

@Nick Algar - Competition Secretary very similar spec to mine. Do you know your gearbox ratios & how do you find the 4.44 diff on the road?

that's ridiculously good value, what a rocketship that must be !

Seems a good deal to me. What year is it?

Hopefully they have a nice long tail on them buried deep into the asphalt! I'm amazed that cats eyes are still being used tbh, I'd have expected something new to have been invented by now, testament to the fact that they were a revolutionary invention I guess.

Thanks Dave, I'll take some pics later today and post them.

Wonder how far/high a truck can fling a loose one of those.....?

@DIY-Si see my recent parts wanted ad... can you price up steering wheel and number plate/lights device ( inc postage) and let me know....

Happy to consider any combination of parts offers ie basic engine less carb and inlet manifold in case you want to install fuel injection. Let me know what you need.

I wouldn't worry; in a few months they'll start dropping off.

That’s a LOT of car for the money! GLWTS

Quickest way is to put a photo up. if they were originally supplied by Westfield, they have the Westfield Sunburst logo cast into them, normally. However, if supplied direct via Hi Spec, or from another Hi Spec dealer, they are plain. (They may also have a slightly different steering arm).

I know 7 owners have had issue with proving seat strength in the past, but I'm not aware of any XI owners having the same problem. Make of that what you will! I've still got my IVA steering wheel with matching boss and centre pad. My rear number plate holder and lamps are still in the garage, although I snipped the fog and reversing lamps wires short after IVA when I fitted the new undermount lights, so they would need connectors adding. I don't think I have the body mounts any more, but they were simple aluminium strips bent yo suit the car. I'm not convinced my strips would fit anyone else's car..... I'm afraid I've no idea what i did woth my wing mirrors!

In the last few days the roads around my village have been shut for cat eye replacement they may as well have fitted paving blocks the new cat eyes are solid alloy and are 30 mm tall i drove over a couple in the westie and the jolt almost pulled the wheel out of my hands and hit them with the rear wheel and your out of the seat there ridiculous I can't imagine how cyclists and motorcycles are going to manage there's going to be an accident for sure.

Excuse my lack of knowledge but how do I tell if I have Westfield/HiSpec ali uprights? I know I have HiSpec front calipers of that's of any relevance? Are these brackets new or used?

The 7s have belt guides too.... do the seats need to have some kind of certificate of conformity regarding capability to take the load in event of accident or is it just they just have to be high backed?

Have a great day @SlimGym 🍺🎂

Do you know how much these brackets weigh? dave

Stunning looking car Nick, and a great price. I’m sure this won’t hang around for long. GLWTS

That's a shame that they don't. They'll be ok provided they are narrow enough, although the S Turbo seats also have belt guides that may or may not be relevant.

I have, they don't any more.... Will have to track a set down at some point unless the Cobra 7s in my SEiW would be ok...

No worries. We have a plan to get back lol

Sorry, I've already passed my IVA parts onto another owner a few months back. It's worth asking the factory if they now loan out Sport Turbo seats for the test.

At that time you should be ok but as the king has some gigs on at Sandringham over the weekend the traffic is mad..yep worse than normal for silly season.. Mariah Carey tonight.. 😀
