deadscoob Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Stunning black factory built Westfield XTR4 for sale. Reduced again to £21000!!! Can't believe this hasn't gone yet The perfect trackday special? We think so. As fast (or faster in certain places) as a similar power Radical without the worries of running costs that those are saddled with, thanks to the Audi 1.8t powerplant. You KNOW that engine doesn’t need any special maintenance, tinkering, refreshing after a few miles or any other such rubbish. With 180-195hp (don’t know exact figure – engine is the 180hp Audi unit, with good induction, free flow exhaust and an “aggressive” map – all done by Audi Holland technicians and warranted by Westfield, who guestimate 195hp) and similar torque (from around 2k rpm) the car is adequately fast. 0-100 is comfortably quicker than a 996 GT3 RS, 100-120 is similar. Given the car weighs <600kg it’s hardly surprising it’s fairly quick. If that’s not enough, the Audi engines are very, very easy to tune, from a simple 210hp remap to 300hp with a new turbo, ECU and injectors. If you want to scare yourself, 300hp is a good option. We’ve completed 3 trackdays in the car and on those days it was faultless. Handling is fantastic, the corner speed is truly amazing and in a totally different league to any other road car – it’s setup at the moment to be very friendly, so is fairly neutral, high speed cornering leads to mild oversteer which is easily corrected. That’s not to say it’s easy to drive, but it certainly isn’t intimidating. It’s road legal as well of course. Surprisingly, it’s perfectly happy trundling around town or back roads, if desired the suspension is easily and quickly raised to give more ground clearance. It’s no off roader, but general road driving holds no worries. Again with the Audi powerplant and gearbox you’ve nothing to worry about like on/off bike clutches as fitted to most other trackday type machinery. This car is not to be confused with the orange prototype Westfield supplied to the press. This car has a properly sorted gearbox and the brakes work – as well they should, they’re AP Motorsport callipers – proper Motorsport items recommended for single seaters and other lightweight machinery. Obviously genuine AP disks are used along with Ferodo 2500 pads. Any maintenance needed is easy thanks to the removable front and rear sections, giving total access and freedom to work. In addition to the factory spec, we have upgraded the following: Instruments Stack 8130 pyramid system with shift and waning lights. This is an all in one unit which displays oil temp and pressure, water temp, fuel level and air temp. Additional units can be added for accurate lap timing. Intake temp display, to make sure charge temps are acceptable SPA dual boost gauge – the most accurate boost gauge on the market along with accurate exhaust gas temp sensor. Suspension Custom Nitron shock absorbers made specifically for the exact suspension movement and loading of the car by Nitron – these are NOT generic factory supplied Nitrons. Eibach ERS springs. These are the best you can buy. Main springs with Eibach helper springs are used. Brakes As stated, AP Motorsport Calipers, AP disks and bells, Ferodo 2500 pads Wheels Image 3 piece ultra light weight wheels, 7” front, 8” rear with Avon ACB10s. Other main spec Audi 1.8 20valve Turbo, Mid-engined, with Audi 5 speed transaxle Factory Built Removable Front section Removable Rear Section Fully independent double wishbone suspension with anti roll bars 1.5 turn quick rack Twin plane adjustable rear wing Black upholstered Westfield racing bucket seats with Willans 4point racing harnesses Removable Steering wheel The car has been cared for no expense spared and has covered only 1400 miles and is covered and stored in a dry garage when not in use. Overall condition is excellent with only a few scrapes on the front splitter. To buy this again would cost around £34,000 This is for sale at a very reasonable £26,000 ono The car is currently on a SORN as the acb10s are not road legal. We will tax and fit the buyers tyres of choice upon agreement of a reasonable price for the car. We don’t believe you can make a decision on buying a car like this on a road drive – there’s no way on earth you can get anywhere near its awesome potential anywhere else but on track so we are prepared arrange test drives for seriously interested parties at Bruntingthorpe proving ground. I have to emphasise there is nothing else like this – you’ve got 99% the thrill of a Radical/JP1 for 50% of the cost and 25% of the running cost. No matter what you currently drive, you will be blown away. For more details please ring Ian on 07970 049797 or drop me an email at igratton@ntlworld.com [/b]
peterg Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Erm, so if it's so good (and I don't doubt it is ) why are you selling it?
scott beeland Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 I reckon they've got something else up their sleeves

Rob Navin Posted April 15, 2005 Posted April 15, 2005 Cracking Car ! I have been out for a few passanger laps in the car and I can honestly say that it is very quick. Sorry to see it go guys I was waiting for the laps sat in the hot seat Make sure you give me a shout when you get whatever it will be replaced by
perksy Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Normal Westy Turns Heads everywhere, can only imagine what this thing does
cidersurfer Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Checks bank balance... *b#ll#cks* slinks away to the garage... Stunning
neilwillis Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Aren't all XTR4s factory built? Lovely jamjar, shame I'm so skint!
ChrisF Posted April 17, 2005 Posted April 17, 2005 Superb car ....I wish I had got the bonus ball on Saturday's lotto
deadscoob Posted April 18, 2005 Author Posted April 18, 2005 Aren't all XTR4s factory built? Apparently the factory have sold at least one XTR4 rolling chassis, so I guess not. I know YOU lot know that they should be factoroy built, but someone else may not. You can never have too much info
deadscoob Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 Thought there'd be more interest than this
GWatson Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 I am sure there is a lot of interest, just not enough £££'s in the pocket unfortunately, otherwise I'd have snapped it up by now...... Stunning car!! Graeme
Peter Cox Posted April 21, 2005 Posted April 21, 2005 Drool...I'd have one, cept like others I'd have to sell my house 1st. Just for future reference, where are the fog and reverse lights (I'm probably being thick)? Now where was that estate agent
deadscoob Posted April 21, 2005 Author Posted April 21, 2005 Fog light is little round light above number plate, reverse lights don't exist - don't need 'em for SVA
