Hi i am looking at buying a westfield to use on trackdays and for sprint/hillclimbing.

due to my budget i am prob looking at a cross flow engine westie.

I have seen westfield with both 4 speed and 5 speed gearboxes, which is best?

can anyone please advise me on the pro's and con's of each for this sort of use?

Welcome   :t-up:

Are We talking Standard Gearboxes OR Heavy duty ones with nice ratios    ???

Thats a useful answer Skids. :p

Dont worry too much if its a 4 or 5 speed. The 5 speed will give you a cruising gear - if you want to go cruising. The 4 sp will give you a nicer change.

Make sure the rest of the car is good first.
