Sold - Deposit Taken. Please allow me to introduce my much loved and high specification Westfield, whilst very few cars are built to the Standard factory specification this car is built with lots and lots of options and upgrades hence the detailed description below to enlighten and enable those new to the world of Westfield's and the wonderful WSCC to appreciate why the specification and build of this car does stand out and is way above the usual build with a few upgrades chucked in. 2004 Wide bodied SEIW, built with all new parts as a modular build, registered as a 2004 plate (not a Q plate) – private plate will be removed prior to sale. Engine supplied new by Westfield but then upgraded to current spec with machine work carried out by Scholar Engines Base spec see’s SEIW with detachable rear arches, ducted nose system, full screen, unique side screens that give clearer visibility, Image split rim wheels with new Toyo R888 tyres (205/60/13 all round) enhanced Westfield 2000s chassis with Carbon fibre interior panels, front & rear Westfield aluminium uprights, JK GRP seats (much comfier than they look) As a previous Area Organiser for WSCC Club Manchester Area, this was my 2nd Westfield car and build (have also assisted in may more in the Manchester area club), past SVA first time (as did my first build) and has never let me down once, it is a well known car in the WSCC club so there should be plenty of people that can vouch for both the car and myself. As a newbie to the world of Kitcars back in 1999 my first Westfield build was based around the totally standard spec of parts with a 2ltr Zetec, standard gearbox, brakes, diff, suspension, steering etc, then becoming more aware of the vast array of upgrades and enhancements available I weighed up the options of upgrades or sell up and start a fresh, which is where this current car comes into play. This build not only takes on board all the upgrades I was thinking of with build No.1 but has constantly continued to develop into its current well known, respected and expensive specification as listed below. Engine upgrade carried out in late 2006 (at circa 6,500 miles) saw the engine upgraded from the standard 187bhp to the new spec listed below, this was set up on the rolling road by Northampton Motorsport (NMS) and showed 226Bhp and 175 f/lb at the flywheel with the rev limit set at a comfy 7700rpm however with the strengthening work done NMS did suggest raising this to 8000 / 8200 rpm as the power was still climbing at 7700 so cold easily reach 230-235 bhp but I stuck with it at a comfy 7700. Full suspension & geometry set up also carried out by Northampton Motorsport. At 545kg full of fuel this gives near 420Bhp/Ton which is exhilarating yet tractable, reliable and smooth to drive throughout the full rev range. Whilst this is a very high spec example, it was built for road use with occasional trackday, but would be just at home on either A & B roads or in either the track or sprint paddock. All previous MOT’s available with millage recorded, currently covered just over 15,000 miles, 2 sets of keys, comprehensive file of all receipts, parts listings, all vehicle documentation and rolling road / engine printouts. Currently has 6 months tax (reniwed for 1st April), MOT due in May and will be renewed on date or for any earlier sale. Chassis / Rolling Chassis upgrades Rare Westfield 2000s chassis with all additional cross bracing yet with standard engine mounts – (The 2000s chassis can come with solid engine mounts with no anti-vibe mounts that is for pure race use) but I specified standard rubber engine mount set up in lieu of solid mounting of engine that would rock your teeth loose. This chassis proved to be nearly 5Kg lighter than standard (proved by myself rather than hype) yet is recognised as being stiffer than standard due to extra bracing. This 2000s Chassis comes standard with mounting bosses for full cage already welded in as part of the chassis design All chassis panels are true carbon fibre (except floor pans that remain as Aluminium) and are both bonded and riveted to the chassis – for clarity these are NOT carbon effect or 3m carbon sticker on ali panels but true pre-preg carbon fibre panels supplied by Fluke Motorsport Westfield supplied upgrade to Wide track front suspension – this is a much sought after upgrade and normally the first thing owners do to upgrade the standard set up. Westfield supplied upgrade to Nitron shock absorbers to front & rear, these are also designed to mount upside down to reduce un-sprung weight and further improve handling Westfield supplied upgrade to add front & rear anti-roll bars – giving improved handling and cornering Westfield supplied upgrade to RAC roll bar with removable stays Upgrade to quick ratio steering rack – supplied from Rally Design Westfield supplied upgrade to Alloy Rack Mounts (steering) Upgraded conversion of front top wishbones to rose joint set up – wishbone to upright connection to give improved geometry Westfield supplied upgrade to Nylon Bush’s throughout suspension & wishbone mountings Northampton Motorsport carried out a full suspension geometry set up inc. ride heights, corner weighing and wheel alignment. Engine Upgrades Pocketed Pistons (Standard ford pistons) Piper Ultimate Road 285 cams (DUR BP285) Piper double valve springs & heavy duty cap retainers Piper Vernier Pulleys Ported cylinder head (chambers) and both inlet and exhaust ports matched to the manifolds. Heavy Duty Big End bearings Full AP racing bolts to cylinder head, rods bolts, crank casing, flywheel and crank pulley Crank key-wayed to timing sprocket & auxiliary pulley. Raceline low line & baffled sump Raceline lightweight flywheel and clutch (Hydraulic clutch so no stretching cable) Raceline water rail Raceline direct to head Throttle bodies Raceline 90mm trumpets Raceline 4-2-1 exhaust system and trackday silencer (never been turned away for noise) ITG 160mm air filter Addition of 13 row oiler cooler system Heavy duty cooling fan (to account for extra air resistance of oil cooler) Aluminium Oil catch tank Oil pressure warning light systems and oil temperature gauge (temp gauge not inc in standard wiring loom / standard set up) Northampton Motorsport rolling road / engine set up and engine graphs included in vehicle documents. Transmission Upgrades BGH Sporting Close ratio gearbox (bought new) with ratios specifically picked to keep in the right rev range but leave a reasonable final gear ration. 1st – 5th ratios of 2.66, 1.75, 1.26, 1.0 and 0.82 AP racing heavy duty clutch (hydraulic release bearing) 4.1 Limited Slip Differential with Quaiffe ATB internals This set up really works and even on the previous standard engine set up 187bhp, the car could match the acceleration of 230bhp cars with standard gearbox’s – now couple that with 226bhp and it really does give exhilarating performance all the way through all the gears and still pulls very strongly all the way into and through 5th gear (my first westfield on standard engine & gearbox didn’t really have much poke in 5th from 110mph and above where as this just keeps on pulling all the way through 5th) Braking Upgrades Westfield supplied upgrade to Twin brake bias pedal set up with balance bar and twin master cylinders – enables full balance set up of front to rear brakes. Westfield supplied upgrade to AP Racing 4pot front callipers Westfield supplied AP Racing vented front brake disc’s AP racing front brake pads Westfield supplied upgrade to Golf aluminium rear brakes (more modern, lighter and reliable than standard sierra units) Hawk Performance ‘Black’ rear brake pads Front to rear brake lines are neatly routed through the gearbox tunnel to provide total protection – standard factory built cars see’s these run directly under the floor pan of the drivers seat which exposes them to potential damage Body Work Standard ZK bodywork Removal rear wheel arches (these are newly replaced / refreshed for the sale) Front arches for 205 tyres (standard are for 185 tyres) Full screen / wipers and side screens Ducted Nose systems – direct airflow from the radiator out the top of the nose / bonnet instead of though the engine bay, this system normally requires some additional work to remove the nose cone as the nose / internal ducting support the radiator, however I have cleverly used the standard chassis radiator mounts to self support the internal ducting allowing the nose cone to be removed in the very same way as a standard nose and without any need to drain the system and allowing the car to be driven (if needed) without the nose cone on. This car has the best of both worlds with the option to quickly (5-10 mins) to remove the scuttle c/w screen & wipers and fit a second scuttle with aero screen – this removes approx 10kg of weight and improves aero dynamics giving increased acceleration at top end. Personally and with this tourqey engine / gearbox combination I think this really only comes noticeable from around 100mph plus, below that yes it does feel faster but that’s probably more down to the more open feel of the aero set-up General Upgrades 3” wide 4 point safety harnesses Modified side screens – plastic replaced with tinted polycarbonate to give much improved visibility (and looks) Carbon fibre dash and boot cover Carbon kick guards (to chassis tubes in foot well) Custom rear lights (using Hella light units) M&P front headlights All fuel & brake lines carefully run through transmission tunnel (usually exposed under the floor pan) Stack 500 digital and programmable dash systems Odessey lightweight Gel battery Safety Battery Cut-Off switch Electronic self cancelling indicators - this uses an electronic device with 3 modes / timings which sourced on a club group purchase from the United States (also operated from steering wheel) FIA Master kill switch fitted. Quick release steering wheel with indicator control on steering wheel – no more taking your hands off the wheel to indicate. Built for ability to quickly remove scuttle and body side pods for easy access to major components. Toyo R888 tyres all round – these have only done a few hundred miles and like new.

So once again a person whose aim is to harm British people and spread hate, uses the law to avoid deportation. What planet are those in charge on? We have the elected goverment happy to deport him to Jordan where they have promised a fair trial and this has been blocked by the Special immigration appeals commission. When we have laws that are so easily manipulated by those whose want to use them that we cannot deport murderers and people like this scum is there anything we as a country can now do without those do gooders stepping in to protect those sworn to do us harm? We nunney foot around and make us the laughing stock of the world.

That would have been a much better thing for me to post (the link), thanks for that! To continue from before... I had chance to nip out in the car this evening - the first thing I noticed was that the flat spot I had around 5800 rpm has definitely been reduced. Previously, in similar conditions (very cold, but dry), the 'jerk' in torque would have the rear tyres squirming (or worse) but now the car feels much more driveable with the smoother power delivery. The overall power didn't feel (on my bum dyno) to be vastly increased but I knew it must have been due to the results of the dyno runs... however, comparing some data from before and after the tuning session tells a pretty different story. My 'standard' test is an in-3rd-gear 60-90 run (that's all I have space for on my private road and I think it's a fairly 'real-world' test too), which was previously around 3.7-3.8s. With virtually identical ambient temperature and road conditions as before (dry but bl**dy cold), and averaging two runs in opposite directions of the same piece of ground, it appears to be half a second quicker than that! Incidentally the power calculator built into the software estimates the car to have 213bhp at the rear axle, and BLINK's dyno said 211bhp - pretty surprised the software is that accurate but I'm not complaining! Apparently it can be used to check if a car is down on power by comparing 'old' to latest data, which is a handy thing to know. Cheers, Adam

What no money, your not invited then ! LOL

I dont give a flying f*ck whether he will be put on trial using evidence obtained by torture Why the f*ck are we not torturing the hole? I just want him and his extended family out of my country I wouldn't bother putting him on a plane and doing a quick drop in Amman, I'd just chuck the hole out when we got to a reasonable altitude As you can see I'm very angry about this issue, and I dont give a f*ck what the pc brigade think Please dont post and try and reason with me, I'm not interested
