Steve20 Posted May 6, 2024 Posted May 6, 2024 With retirement and a change in priorities (currently converting a Mercedes Sprinter into a camper) so time has come to sell my beloved Westfield. Built by myself (qualified engineer), first registered on age related plates in 2006 with the ultimate plate F1WSC currently assigned meaning no need to be concerned about emissions come MOT time. I kept the specification pretty much as first built until lockdown happened and in need of a new challenge and project I decided to focus on the Westfield and carry out a major transformation as detailed below which cost almost £7k nett after selling removed parts. Focus was on transforming the handling by fitting Siltech Racing suspension all round after meeting with Dennis and Andy and seeing the brilliant parts they have designed and manufactured, simply the best out there. Specifcation: 2.0 Zetec on 45mm Jenvey throttle bodies, Emerald M3DK ECU and custom mapped by Dave Walker at Emerald achieving 165hp Engine is correctly registered with DVLA as NON cat with the obvious benefits this brings Dunnel Racing reduced height baffled sump MT75 box Reconditioned 3.61 LSD Siltech superwide front suspension using aircraft specification T45 steel Siltech billet aluminium front hubs Siltech drilled front discs Siltech branded 4 pot Willwood callipers Black Hawk ceramic front pads Siltech front ARB Siltech micro adjustable rear suspension Protech shocks Rear uprights replaced with new Westfield parts including bearings VW Golf rear callipers, new discs and Brembo pads New driveshafts and CV joints (4) New quick rack with Superpro silicon mounts Full suspension set up including corner weighting by Northampton Motorsport Compomotive CXR 7J ET30 graphite grey Toyo R888R 205/60/13 Factory spec ZK bodywork V8 bonnet with black powder coated grills Carbon NV aero+ cycle wings Carbon NV rear arch protectors Standard width rear arches treated with Wunderseal. With the Siltech superwide front suspension and micro adjustable rear, track difference front to rear is just some 20mm Factory supplied powder coated chassis RAC roll bar Custom made leatherette saddle stiched tunnel cover and matching gear lever and handbrake boots Westfield sports seats on adjustable runners TRS 4 point harnesses OMP Trecento steering wheel Half doors USB LED lights all round including replacement CBS headlights all correctly E marked Self cancelling indicators Glencoe E100 compatible fuel pipe throughout Autocom intercom Fuel tank impact protection bar All receipts from new plus build manuals etc.. etc…… Car has been serviced annually regardless of mileage and kept in an Air Chamber. Road use only. Number plate is extra, however will be offered in the first instance to whoever buys the car. ** MOT till 8th May 2025** REDUCED PRICE £13,500, plate is extra 5
Steve20 Posted June 2, 2024 Author Posted June 2, 2024 Only 1200 miles since all suspension, steering, brakes, wheels, tyres changed etc….
Kingster Posted June 2, 2024 Posted June 2, 2024 Some very nice and very sensible upgrades here - went a similar route with mine (although not quite the top drawer Siltech as here) and it made a huge difference to the handling - glws 👍
Steve20 Posted June 3, 2024 Author Posted June 3, 2024 Thanks “Kingster”, the advice you gave me when planning the upgrades was very helpful and appreciated. Completely transformed the car, handling is now absolutely superb. Cheers Steve 1
