Stephen W Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 So after having a great time at another charity track day, it got me thinking about tuning my Westfield. I got on eBay looking for upgrades and then ended up buying another one......as you do, along with a trailer off gumtree. Good times. Meet Westie part deux. Some of you may Remember it as Richard Greens old car. Engine Rover 1800 K Series · Scholar Evo 2 block (i.e. it’s got fixed diesel liners rather than ‘mobile’ Rover ones) · Omega forged pistons · QED lightweight Flywheel · Helix clutch · REC valves (26/29.5mm) with Colsibro guides · Head modified under watchful eye of Dave Andrews (DVA Power) – for breathing and cooling · Solid lifters with shims · Piper 285 cams with vernier wheels · EU3 head with wasted spark dual ‘coil on head’ Dry sumped using Pace alloy sump, pump (2 x scavenge, 1 x pressure) with Pace alloy tower tank Jenvey Direct to Head Throttle Bodies with ITG filter Emerald K6 ECU Powerspeed 4-2-1 all stainless exhaust All rotating and reciprocating parts were balanced by Steve Smith at Vibration Free The engine was mapped by Dave Walker in February 2010 and producing 199bhp@ 8000rpm The engine has done 10 hillclimbs, 1 track day, 3 races and a few road miles since build.Gearbox Quaife alloy cased 5 speed Type 9 with Titan alloy bell housing Straight cut, close ratio 2.04, 1.54, 1.21, 1.0, 0.87 Positioned to avoid need for selector extension Rebuilt by Brian Hill at BGH Geartech and has done 5 events since thenFinal Drive 4.4:1 CWP on a Quaife ATB – assembled by Brian HillSuspension Standard Westfield with AVO dampers all round All joints are poly-bushed, and dampers are rose jointed Alloy uprights at front Front adjustable anti roll bar Front dampers rebuilt by AVO Team Dynamics 15” wheels currently shod with Kumho V700 205/50/15Brakes Factory fit floor mounted adjustable bias brakes Solid disks at Front grabbed by four pot alloy callipers with Hawk ferro-carbon pads Standard drums at rear Braided hoses all roundChassis Westfield race chassis (i.e. additional bracing, but thinner tube, compared to ‘road’ chassis) Chassis manufactured in 1999 (so no need for a catalytic converter under MSA rules) All alloy panels were etch primed prior to painting, and are bonded using PRC (aircraft panel sealant) as well as rivetedBodywork Westfield race (lightweight) body work – but has a few dings and scuffs Playskool carbon aeroscreen, dash, rear deck and ‘diffuser’Interior Playskool glassfibre seats Telemetrix Instruments on Playskool carbon dashSafety Lifeline plumbed-in extinguisher Driver’s 6 point FIA harness by RaceLidz (PlaysKool brand) Passenger’s 4 point Willans harness Caged – full FIA race spec cage History The car has been sprinted and hill climbed and is believed fully legal for RAC MSA approved circuit racing and speed events in UK.
