Track day at Abingdon:

Cooling after another short run out today. Brisk to say the least.

A bit more of the MegaS2000 at Curborough 👍

Time has come to part with my road legal track car. The megabusa is a fully sorted track weapon and no expense has been spared with it. Its not a show car but has been used on track so has a few associated marks and some gravel rash. The car was originally built by the owner of mistral and was his own car, there has been no expense spared on the build whatsoever. It has a very linear power line and produces a very reliable 222bhp from the fully forged engine. The spec of the car is as follows: Westfield Megabusa VU02 WRL Road registered Chassis:- Nitron race shocks all round wide track front end wishbones Quick rack steering Twin brake master cyl with bias Straight through Bailey Morris prop Quaiffe internal Sierra diff 3.14 & heavy duty output drive shafts 4 pot billet front brake callipers Translogic digital dash SPA Oil gauges GRP seats (not tillett as per the photos) Race harnesses Full Caged roll-cage Momo steering wheel with racetech quick release 24v Starting Simpson full race polished stainless exhaust manifold and silencer just re packed and additional Simpson rear exit add on exhaust for super quiet track days like the caterham ones. Engine:- Full race Mistral 1500cc Hayabusa motor Gasflowed cylider head Race camshafts and vernier wheels Race valve springs and Titanium retainers Decked barrel and skimmed head Arrow stroked crankshaft Arrow forged con-rods Heavy duty gearbox output shaft Raised 5th and 6th gears Billet selector fork shafts Billet clutch hub centre Race clutch springs and new clutch stack SBD Billet clutch slave cylinder SBD dry sump installation Larger fuel injectors & Dynojet Power Commander SBD Highflow air filter kit Davies Craig water pump Davies Craig Water control system Coolex Aluminium radiator Engine set-up and mapped on Road & Track dyno (sheets available) Wheels and tyres:- Image 8" wheels with Nangkang AR1S tyres 185/60-13 front and 205/60-13 rear The engine and gearbox have undergone a full strip and refresh at a cost of £3500.00 at Mistral, it has done one track day since. just had new clutch installed and has done zero miles since. The Nitron suspension was fully serviced and revalved by Coupa Motorsport. They also done a full Geometry setup and corner weighted the car. The Westfield is extremely quick, capable of well under 2.10 at Snetterton and 51s at Brands This is a full package that could esily be raced and very competitive in Mag 7s series. Its unlike other bike engined cars that it can be driven in higher gears due to the power and torque of the engine, it does not need to be screamed to produce the power. £18500. You will not find a quicker fully sorted car better than this!

Just to bring things up to speed on this one, the legal opinion was that Company C are liable, as the contract to do the work was not between Companies A or B and myself. If I had been in a contract with them, Company A would be liable. I've filed the claim against Company C today online, very easy, and they have three weeks to respond. Wish me luck!

Got mine yesterday, thanks

Hi Mark. Many thanks. The pack came yesterday and I am enjoying reading it. Love the key ring. Cheers martin

For those familiar with Loton Park you may be interested to hear I got the Westy sub 50 secs. Official time 49.68 sec. New record at the last event there this year.

13 cars, 13 unlucky for some but not us, we had an amazing day and on it goes with @AndrewBClarke @Andy Westwoodand their crazy daft photo's🤣. It's a good job @Si.Dalziel took a decent photo at McD's because mine are a bit rubbish, but here we go. McD's car park Parked with some of the Honda Boys Glynn's and Andrew's Short's were worn on this not so warm day Others turned up later Not the fastest of runs, we had the challenge of overtaking the cyclist's before finding the non-overtakables (is that a word?), a tractor run. We followed them to the junction, saw which way they went and we went the opposite way! I wanted to take the road that passes under The Roaches, but no way was I following them. As it happens I could make it that we went that way for the next leg of our journey, so all was not lost. I had a table for 18 booked at The Rudyard Hotel, where the carvery is excellent. Dave was quick to tell me that you only come here to wear your 'party frock' on your BIG birthday, not just an ordinary birthday, so we will let him off. Here is a photo of the last time we came here on @Ian Kinder (Bagpuss) - Joint Peak District AO BIG birthday, just in case anyone has forgotten. Today folk were dressed more normally The dinner is still as good still as big anyway, Back in the cars, BEANO looking great as usual Having not eaten enough 😮 we had to go cake hunting next. Our Cake Meister suggested we go to Wetton which has a reputation for serving large slices of homemade cakes, good choice there Andy. Also it meant we could divert up to the Roaches road. We shoehorned into the car park Hello Ali x Andy hunted down the last slice of Bakewell cake, leaving the marzipan covered fruit cake for Andrew, no fighting boys. Watch it, the 2 Andy's are at it!! My small offering of coconut and raspberry jam cake We got snapped on our way through Matlock Bath again, I will put those photo's on the next post. Thanks everyone for making today a fabulous day out, I hope you enjoyed the roads and the driving as much as the food and the company XXX
