Dodgey Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 SOLD - Hi guys - here is my much loved Westfield SE - which was built by Raw Engineering (now known as Striker-Cars). Time for a change for me.It's a 1997 SE, 10,000 miles. 4 Previous owners. Full wet weather gear. Roll cage, very healthy tyres. New alloys - unmarked.The Engine is a Toyota 16v 4AGE (phase 3 narrow port engine) - very light and very high revving (8.5k though I have the limiter set at 8k). The engine has been tuned by Raw Engineering. She howls like a banshee under load!Kent T1604 camsVernier cam wheelsTRD steel head gasket (to raise compression ratio)Rejetted twin 45 Dellorto carbs with trumpets.Omex 3D programmable ECUDIS (distributorless ignition system)Piper coss air filterAlloy oil catch tankPlayskool re-packable 6" silencer.Quick release steering wheelIndicator warning light and beeper (for when you leave them on by mistake)Other bits: Carbon effect rear lights and carbon effect rear arch protectors and carbon effect front bike wings. Cream leather interior with blue piped trim and Willans harnesses.Carbon effect motorbike mirrors - these work Perfectly - you get a great rear view - no compromise. I also have a suction type centre mirror which you can have but the side ones are so good I don't bother with it.Striker (Raw Engineering - who incidentally are amazingly helpful given the time that has passed since it was in their hands) tell me the engine should produce circa 170 bhp. I have had it down at a rally tuning specialist in Somerset who spent two sessions tuning it on the rolling road (second session was after rejetting it down slightly as it was running too rich) and their machine shows 184bhp. That was less than 1000 miles ago. They remapped the ECU so it is properly "3D" (it wasn't when I got the car). I've timed 0-60 in around 4.5 seconds, and with the current Yokos fitted I can spin the wheels changing into second in the dry. She is very fast :-)I have a 3.89:1 diff fitted which gives tonnes of acceleration but still leaving plenty of top end. The diff it came with was 3.77:1 and you never used 5th which seemed crazy. Now you find that the engine is in the right rev range for each gear when cruising.I've also replaced the rear wheel bearings within the last 2000 miles and I fitted a new crank position sensor a while ago, oh, and new plugs! Update. Now has brand new rear shoes and wheel cylinders and new brake fluid and a spanking new MOT.The car is in Ford metallic blue with a matching roll bar and full wet weather gear - doors and hood. The windscreen is brand new (I cracked the old one - doh!) - you'll be getting a spare windscreen frame :-) The rear wheel arches have small stone chips which I touch up with Ford touch up paint occasionally and there are a few areas of paint crazing and the odd touched up scratch - normal fair for a used Westie.She also comes with a front anti roll bar with all the fixings - I never got round to fitting it as she handles so well as it is to be honest.£6495 - Which includes Tax until 30/09/13 and 12 Months MOT (I'm taking her in on Monday the 1st for a new one). I'm in Somerset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kev91 Posted June 30, 2013 Share Posted June 30, 2013 Nice car. BTW Where did you get that rear number plate holder from? - I like it! That looks like the rear holder of an older Audi A6, could be totally wrong tho. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
