Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 Car now SOLD😲 After much soul searching I think it's time to sell - other than a road 7-800 mile road trip last year I have barely used my car other than just a quick blat every now and again and to be honest I have lost my mojo for track days after having done so many and that was primarily was my main interest. Ok so the car is a Westfield Duratec Sport 2000 in chrome yellow - it's been over serviced like so many cars with much more frequent oil changes than required - I have done this myself. The car benefits from a recently reconditioned engine with new crankshaft (span a shell at Rockingham 3-4 years or so ago) and the car has not been used much since (no track days) and just road mileage including last years road trip as mentioned above. Mileage: just over 27 but may increase Upgrades... Northampton Motorsport cam upgrade and swirl pot to prevent fuel sytarvation on track (not been on rolling road but estimated 210bhp) - see invoice in the pictures for £3000 Brake bias valve fitted by NMS at the same time as above When I span a shell at Rockingham I had the engine reconditioned including a new crank and some head work to help with air flow - Oil cooler kit also fitted at this point as a worthwhile preventative measure to help stop future issues - £3400 Raceline sump Huge Simpson race can and manifold which is a real work of art and quiet £1400 Playskool full cage with welded in side bars £900 JK fibreglass seats with pads and carbon fibre inserts including bases on runners - i think these were £600 Carbon mods aero screen £120 Carbon fibre front cycle wings - got these used but paid £150 Willwood front brake calipers and drilled / grooved disks - from memory £500 Quick release steering wheel (245mm steering wheel £120 - it's a bit small to be honest but its been on the car for years) - steering column was sent to Westfield for them to weld the lug - RTQ2 lug £120 plus Westfield to do their bit Three sets of wheels - Minilite type replicas with nearly new 888's which are currently on the car (please note CXR are now on the car) (they only have the road trip mileage and a little bit of extra road mileage on them) Selling with the car but £400 - then a nice set of Compomotive CRX wheels with tyres which look to be about road legal but plenty left for track days £500 - then a crappy set of Alleycats with some very and I mean very old Nankang tyres on £200 - the wheels are rough and the tyres need destroying unless you are doing a drift day V8 bonnet fitted to car and a spare standard bonnet included £200 Carbon fibre dash now fitted - £130 Viscous slippy diff Gell battery fitted in the nosecone £120 My famous towing modification Curved rear view mirror on cage - SPA mirrors central and side £180 Lowered floor - I am 6 foot 2 and fit in just fine Carbon fibre side screens - I think I paid £250 Procomp adjustable shocks/springs and front anti roll bar (not the Westfield one that has been known to damage the chassis / car fully setup and corner weighted by Procomp £1000 Comes complete with windscreen, side screens, wiper motor and washer bottle and can be converted fairly easy for road use - see further down the post for more detail and pictures Racelidz 4 point harness - they are five point but only fitted 4 and I have the groin belts to include in sale - seats have the holes for the 5th belt High level cage mounted brake light A quick tot up shows over £13000 of spend - excluding all the sets of tyres and general servicing costs Private plate not included and is now on retention so new v5 with age related plate should be be with me in 3-5 days (started process on the 23rd). The chassis does not have any signs of any cracks - I check it over thoroughly every now and again - the car has never been involved in any accident so is as straight as you would expect and I don’t crash heavily over curbs on track days Sure there's loads of stuff I have missed. Car has always been covered in ACF50 underneath so is in good condition and I have renewed the metallastic suspension bushes in the past. Car owned by me since 2009 (I think) and I purchased it from a guy who purchased it as an unfinished kit direct from Westfield (the car was on display at Bristol Airport if I remember correctly). The car has been mainly a track car in later years of my ownership but presents reasonably well - but there are various cracks in fibreglass - the scuttle I had wrapped a few years ago as I had added and removed the windscreen so there was an assortment of holes to cover up - the wrap is looking a bit tired now. Mechanically the car is great - it's the body work that's not up to show car standard but has to be said when cleaned it does look very smart - but it's not a show car It’s pretty handy on track in the right hands (not mine) and has more than enough go to keep up with seriously quick road cars - handles really well both on and off track with its Procomp spring/shock setup - doesn’t shake your eyeballs out like some cars I have been in Price: 15.5k which includes spare wheels, tyres and all the other parts you can see in the pictures - if you don’t want those parts make me an sensible offer 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Hi all - thanks for the enquiries so far I have added to the description as there’s some important upgrades that I left off the list and also added some pictures I am going to put the number plate on retention today so will wait for the new v5 to come back - that will give me some time to research a reasonable price (I don’t need to sell so not looking at silly offers but at the same time I would much rather it go to an enthusiast who will cherish it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howsafe Workwear and Safety Equipment Posted June 24, 2021 Author Share Posted June 24, 2021 Few more pics of other bits that may come with the car subject to price the windscreen posts and side doors were modified to allow them to fit with the full cage - worked pretty well and better for road touring - obviously doors were fixed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
