timbo7 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Have built and owned many many Westfield and Caterhams from new. This is the longest car I have ever owned....this very fact says just how special it is :-)Update - have listed the specification as the link has expired.SEiW Westfield 1400cc Megabusa. I am the 1st owner having bought as complete kit less engine.Chassis specificationLowered floor both driver and passenger sideInterior panels powder coated blackFull 'Caged' roll cage. MSA homologated 2148.Carbon packRace seats with black pipingWestfield 4 point 3" racing harnessesDetachable rear wheel archesQuick steering rack 1.5:15 3/4" black headlamps4 piston powerlite front calipersLightwieght VW golf aluminium rear calipersFreelander 3.21 limited slip differential with quaife ATB.Bailey Morris resilient tube 2 piece driveshaft.15" Caterham anthracite alloys.Toyo R888 medium compound. 215/50 rear and 205/50 front. I have just fitted a brand new set of rear tyres. Infact these are the first replacement tyres I have had to purchase sinse I built it)Smoked westfield aerosreenPlay skool fully adjustable front and rear antiroll barsWestfield AP brake master cylinderWide track aerofoil front suspension with quick camber adjustmentProtech adjustable front and rear shocksBattery master switchEngine specificationEngine was a standard 1300 GSXR 2003 model wifh 5200 miles on the clock.Modified manual cam tensionnerWet sup with modified baffle.In 2010 this was converted to 1398cc large bore.The overbore parts where supplied by Jack at Holeshot Engineering.New Nickel sealed barrellsCP 84mm bore forged pistons 12.5:1 compressionKent reprofiled camUprated duplex cam springs and capsNew cam chainCometic headgasketBarnett clutch plates and springs.Electronic gear change indicator driven from gear sensorWinter 2012 I removed the cams to check and shim tappets. Clearances have been set to 8 thou both inlet and exhaust. I am very fussy so this took time to get spot on. I re-timed the cams using lift on overlap. Oil is changed religiously 2x a year.Power commander 3 PC3 USBHayabusa bike clocks. These are wired with all functons operational. The speedo is both in km and imperial and reads accurately through a speedo healer set up. the result is a vey compact dash layout that is fully operational.The engine has been run and set up on the dyno.Peak power increased from 151 to 184 at the rear wheels (this is not a flywheel figure). Torque increased from 94 to 113 lbf. The difference was amazing. The engine makes a really throaty growl on cam. The pull from low revs is astonishing for a bike engine.I have covered 5650 miles in the car sinse I built it. It has performed faultlessly. In the last 2 years I have not had the opportunity to use the car as much. I used the car in 3 sprints and total track days amounting to about 5 from new in 2007. In fact in 2012 I covered just 385 miles. This year the car has been on the road for just one outing. 90% of it's use has been road based. It is covered when not used in my heated garage. The car was wax oiled underneath from new.MOT expires 25/06/2014I have all the receipts for the above parts to prove.Evey se7en i have owned (I think 8 at the last count) has found a new home on the mainland so I can provide quite a number of references if required.Price: £13000 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

XTR2Turbo Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Are you sure that the chassis is megabusa / has lowered floors? I didn't think factory offered this option on the mega chassis. Oh and good luck with the sale Regards David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timbo7 Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Indeed they did offer this as an option. Lowers the centre of gravity nicely ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
