Hey - my name is Dave and I live in Bozeman, MT. I have a 2014 Mega S2000 that I built from new. I am also 6'4" but I weigh 180 lbs. I seriously doubt you'll enjoy the fit of the car without dropped floors. I would expect that you would look over the windscreen as much as you would look through it... and that kind of thing gets old very quickly...I did that with another Seven (Birkin) for some time and it's not good! My chassis has lowered floors and I took the seat sliders out from under the stock seat and mounted it directly to the floor and this made the fit OK. Not great, but acceptable. Later I took the fairly thick stock seat out and put a carbon Tillet shell seat in and mounted it as low, and as far back as it could possibly be and I now find the fit to be good. Would I take a tad more leg room if I could get it? Yeah but it's not a problem. I looked through the windshield and I fit in the car with the full weather gear on pretty well. I didn't fit well with the weather gear and a helmet however. You'll also find that your head is far above that roll bar which can't be good. It's a bolt on part and you can of course get a taller one but it's something that would need to be addressed. Over time my car has evolved and I no longer run a windshield but use an aero screen instead. Much better sighting and much, much less wind buffeting. I also made a taller roll bar that is comfortably above my head. I use my car on the road (just rolled over 20,000 miles in it) and I autocross it seriously doing 20+ events a season. I drive it on the road with road wheels and street tires and I compete on wide wheels and sticky slicks. It's very good fun...if you fit in the car. If you ever want to try sitting in my car for fit just let me know. When these cars are well built and properly sorted they are a real driver's car. I love mine. Dave

Hi and welcome! I'm 6ft 5 and normally in the 220-230lb range (depending on how many donuts I've eaten then the wife isnt around 😂). I'm quite "big boned" too, 36 waist and 48 chest. My first Westfield was a flat floor SEIW with a windscreen and it was a tight fit. I did a few mods like taking the runners off the drivers seat, added a quick release and spacer to a smaller 280mm steering wheel (for knee clearance), small footrest for clutch foot, etc. to get more comfortable. Even with this, the roof was a challenge (my head touched it so never used it), the top rail of the windscreen was in my eye line especially over brows, and my knee room was marginal.... It will depend on how long your body and legs are as to how comfortable you'll be and how to adapt the car. Long legs make knee room the challenge, a longer body makes the visibility through the screen more the issue. Despite the tight fit, I still did a few thousand, very fun miles in the car before I traded up. My current car has lowered floors and an aero screen which I find a lot more user friendly. I do have to use the normal seats though as I'm not blessed with the snake hips needed for the carbon/grp buckets 😂. I could probably do with sitting a little lower as I get a little helmet lift above 110mph but its only noticeable on track. In terms of price, I don't know the US market too well but know prices are higher that side of the pond. I saw a nice US registered and running 1996 xflow SEIW for sale for $30k on USA7's earlier this year for example! Wheels will normally be 15 or 13 inch (hardly any tyre choices in 14" these days) in 6, 7 or 8" width. PCD will be 4x108 but offsets can vary so best to check what it has and use that as a guide. Most people go for 185, 195 or 205 section tyres, there are plenty of options from road tyres to semi slicks. The website https://www.willtheyfit.com/ is really useful.

Thank you to you @Big Andy and the others that have posted all their great photo's, I love looking at everyone else's pics, it's all part of the day out for me THANK YOU

Not the best pics think they was something on the lens lol

Hi all, After brief ownership of a 2001 Speedsport which I purchased in Feb 2022 I have now come the decision to sell after not having the time to enjoy the ownership for what it is. The car has been around the forums before so history is relatively east to trace back on here and from my ownership I have made small upgrades such as the LED lights and further cosmetics touches. 2001 Westfield Speedsport 1800 SEIW Widebody - Yellow Circa 23K miles, MOT 04/25 Full weather gear and rear cylindrical cover. 1800 Zetec running 40mm Jenvey throttle bodies MBE 956 ECU 136 spec cam LED lights as depicted Repackable silencer MT75 gearbox Dunnell shortened sump Quick rack Protech adjustable coilovers all round Pro race 1.2 alloys with R888 205/60/R13 Toyo Proxys all round RAC rollbar Carbon fibre stone guards Carbon fibre look light pods Carbon fibre boot deck Carbon fibre dash with VDO clocks Aero Dynamix rear diffuser Williams harnesses D steering wheel OMP Car cover In the two years of ownership I have added circa 500 miles with this year just a few outings for MOTs, servicing and generally to keep ticking over. It has been garaged for the entire ownership and believe it was a similar setup from the previous owner. I tend to leave it constantly plugged in to the trickle charge to maintain battery power. I may have missed some less obvious details but please ask me any questions that you might have. This was a private full kit from Westfield The car is based in north Leicestershire and would prefer collection but that can be discussed. I will be asking for £10K for the car which includes the wet weather kit. Many Thanks Luke

That is a very good looking, and very clean, car !

It’s the same for Lotus. Over here a decent low miles S2 Exige is £30-40k, yet over the pond the same car is $60-80k (or more)

*starts looking at costs to ship The Wench to America…*

Where American tax money goes.

The forecast is for 2 weeks of good weather so hopefully you get out and we get to see some really proper good viewson your photo's. @ianali Glen says Hi! I see Ali DID manage to get that train on her photo, she thought she had missed it. I have tried to turn it the right way up but that is beyond my capabilities too🙄 Ali's photo of the train

We will see you all there Saturday 😀

I think you will feel tall sitting in it, ideally you need to go and try it. I'm assuming it doesn't have lowered floors. I'm 6'3" and have the taller MSA roll bar and tall windscreen for mine to provide more visibility and headroom. Wheels are typically 13" or 15" diameter, 7" width. 15" has more tyre options available. If you swap to cycle wings, there will be holes in the sides of the bodywork from the swept wing mounting bolts, which on a ZK body like this, is a single large body shell. Some get around this by fitting flared side panels instead. @Davemk1 might be able to comment on the specifics of Westfield ownership in the USA Edit: @Captain Colonial beat me to it. I agree with his comments on price, given that it's not in running order

As per the title. IVA steering wheel & hub kit not sure what kind of money their worth? So first decent offer along with postage would make them yours. Just really need to clear the remaining parts away, to stop the wife moaning of them taking over the house. I did say it was a good job you didn't know me when I was younger then. But it didn't go so well 😜

I was amazed by the amount of burnt arduinos. The only explanation I could figure is a batch of 3.3v ordered (and they don't like being fed 5v, oh no). I think next episode they'll get rid of the microservos, I purchased the best nano class servo money could buy for my gauge interpretation, funnily enough very smiths lookalike, and they all drift eventually Servo potentiometer feedback is not consistent, that's why you have trims on a radio control transmitter. I ended up with a stepper motor for that reason, even if i don't like the init dance..

Didn't know Glen could play harmonica 😀

And finally, for now number 19.

It was a great days racing👍
