bigron Posted June 11, 2023 Share Posted June 11, 2023 1994 Toyota 4AGE 1600cc 16v SEiW Originally built by a professional engineer who was linked to Tyrrell Motorsports. 2nd owner purchased in 1999 and tuned the car for fast road use and occasional track days. Paul Morcom purchased in 2008 and prepared it for hillclimbs and sprints and competed in the 2009 WSCC Speed series where it was Class A and Overall Novice winning car. I purchased the car in 2014 as my first Westfield and I have never competed in it but instead tinkered with it and used it as a weekend toy, adding less than 5000 miles to it in that time. The car is an excellent starting point for first Westfield ownership or as a project car (see advert below), I just don’t have the time to spend on it as well as driving it! The car has a full history and copies of all receipts from original build plus photographic record of the original build. The 4AGE engine was tuned by Raw to 168bhp (Cams, lightened and balanced flywheel, engine blueprinted, head polished and ported, race pistons, delortto carbs and OMEX OMEM 500 ecu). Also previously tuned by Mech Motorsports. During lockdown I converted it to fuel injection, replacing the Dellortos with Jenvey ITBs. She now has the following spec: Jenvey DCOE Twin 40mm Throttle Bodies Open diff Widebody 'Kit' body shape with detachable rear arches Protech suspension set up by Track Developments MSA roll bar (I have the RAC bar if the new owner would like it) White Revolution 4 spoke wheels Toyo TR1 tyres all less than 500 miles old Toyota gearbox. Lovely short shift. Brand new custom fuel tank (Read the post about it here: https://forum.wscc.co.uk/forum/topic/138486-fuel-tank-design-any-suggestions/) Brand new Sytec fuel pump and regulator Carbon Fibre boot lid (not currently fitted) Lightweight fiberglass bucket seats (seat runners not fitted as I'm too tall for them, I can refit for the new buyer if desired) White VDO Royale gauges. Tall windscreen (from the Sport 250) Flatbottomed momo steering wheel Willans 4 point harnesses Spa wing mirrors Repackable Exhaust Braided fuel lines and anodised AN fuel fittings. New drive shaft (Dunning & Fairbank) CTEK Bluetooth Battery monitor Engine rebuilt in 2016 after bottom end bearing went. Valve Stem seals, Cam seals and cover seals all replaced. Top milled flat with new 0.8mm TRD gasket. Bottom end crank bearings and piston bearings replaced. Cylinders honed Cleaned and repainted everything in silver enamel. New NGK sparks, alternator and starter motor. New oil pressure sensor Additional parts (to be Included but not fitted): • Westfield rear carbon stone guards (not fitted yet). • Standard Westfield chrome roll bar • Full wet weather gear (for the original windscreen and standard roll bar, so unlikely to fit) • Driver side seat runners • Standard Windscreen (cracked glass) • Spare speedo cable • Original Bootbox • Spare wheel (not revolution) Starts, runs and drives brilliantly and I still do drive it, but don’t have the time to complete these project items. • Bootbox could be fitted or Carbon Fiber Boot lid needs fitting • Windscreen is fitted but needs siliconing in. • GRP bodywork is 29 years old! • Sump oil leak, nothing major but could do with new gasket/sealing. • Gearbox oil could do with replacing.... filler bolt needs replacing (I have one) • Brake fluid its old and needs replacing • Battery tray or improved fixing needed. • Arch protectors need fitting (new carbon ones supplied) • Quick release steering boss has never worked • Wheel alignment & tracking – I replaced a wishbone after bending one... • Tuning – I replaced the fuel injectors after the last rolling road session, it could do with another hour or so with a tuner (I used Day tuner in Harrogate) MOT till 5 April 2024 I'm happy to take anyone out in it or answer any questions. I'm in Harrogate. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuart Posted June 13, 2023 Share Posted June 13, 2023 Think this car used to be in Gloucestershire. If so it was a cracker when I knew it and looks very much the same now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigron Posted June 15, 2023 Author Share Posted June 15, 2023 Had a few requests for pictures and details so here they are. Weather gear including side doors. No idea if it would fit the MSA roll bar and taller windscreen, it's been nowhere near the car in 10 years. Boot box. Cutout for RAC roll bar. Which I have and the buyer can have free if they wanted to refit. Rear standard discs. Not sure what the calipers or hubs are. Front vented discs. No idea what the calipers or pads are.

Captain Colonial Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Frankly, I’m amazed @bigron still has both hands 5 days in - someone should have snapped his hand off by now. Very little work to have a very good car. The 4Age engine is excellent. Someone will get a bargain. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a stunning car spec for the money and as Scott said the 4AGE is a superb engine anyway, but in a Westfield it's sublime! It's also one of those combinations in a Westfield that work devastatingly well for road or track, really punching above their weight, and embarrassing much "bigger" spec cars. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's any help, it though was a real heart breaker to sell my T Car, the Sigma! In the end it couldn't have gone to a better home, and the Bell's that now own it are thoroughly loving both the driving and social side of Club life and owning a Westfield. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
