Richard M Green Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 Having competed in the Westfield Speed Series for seven seasons, the 'Green/Dean Racing' Westfield is finally up for sale: Engine Rover K Series 1600 Scholar Evo II block (fixed thicker liners) Omega forged pistons Arrow Precision Steel Rods ARP Rod bolts Piper 740 cams with vernier pulleys Solid (i.e. non hydraulic) cam followers Cylinder head modified to Dave Andrews’ spec with REC big valves Colisbro valve guides Emerald M3DK Engine Management EU3 head (coil on plug i.e. distributorless type) Jenvey Direct To Head Throttle Bodies Pace Dry Sump system (2 scavenge, 1 pressure stage) inc Pace cast sump Powerspeed Stainless Steel bespoke exhaust Magnetron geared starter motor Lightened Alternator Silicon coolant pipes and Polo radiator All rotating/reciprocating parts balanced by Steve Smith at Vibration Free The engine was built under the watchful eye of Dave Andrews and subsequently mapped by Dave Walker, and is producing >185bhp and cheerfully revs to 8500. Transmission BGH Geartech Sporting Close 4 speed Type E (early Sierra ‘box) Quaife ATB diff fitted with 4.4:1 CWP (also by BGH), and a spare 3.9 diff Alloy bell housing QED competition clutch Suspension/Steering Raceleda alloy front uprights Nylon suspension bushes all round Rose jointed AVOs all round Alloy front hubs Front fully-adjustable ARB Quick rack Brakes Adjustable bias floor-mounted pedals Raceleda 4 pot alloy callipers Drilled and skimmed Brembo disks Hawk FerroCarbon pads General Westfield lightweight race chassis Westfield lightweight bodywork China Blue body, with Chrome yellow arches and nose Single piece Westfield side screens Fibre glass (Playskool) competition seats Willans 4 point harnesses with 3” shoulder straps Lifeline plumbed-in fire extinguisher M&P 4"l headlights Red Top lightweight battery Telemetrix instruments Head up shift/oil light Race Dynamics wheels with Kumho RE720s MOT’d until May 2008 Taxed until end September 2007 (yes it’s currently SORN’d) The car was built by me in 2000, originally with a Crossflow, then received the K Series for 2003. It is SVA’d and fully road legal, on a 1975 ‘N’ suffix plate. As you can see from the spec, there is little that could be done to take the car further in terms of technical spec; it really does have all the toys... and weighs around 500kg. The car has done about 4,000 miles in its life - of that approximately 2,500 with the K Series installed. In 2006 I had class wins at LLys Y Fran and at Longleat, with a 2nd at Abingdon – it is a very capable car. The car is wired for, but not with, a Race Technology Data Logger. The car has probably cost me > £25,000 from the start: the engine alone cost somewhere in the region of £8000 to build, and that spec from Minister would be £12,000+. Obviously I’m realistic and not expecting to recover anywhere near that amount, so a decent offer around £9,000 will be acceptable…. …why am I selling it? I’m now racing in the 750 Motor Club Locost championship, hence I only did two speed events in 2007, and I’m looking at another new project, so need some space….. The car is located in north west Hampshire. Photos can be provided to anyone expressing serious interest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveC Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 I can vouch for this as a top car, very competative in the right hands, (I did let Richard beat me at the abingdon event - well it is his car and he was kind enough to let me double drive) Goes like a train, very well put together with lots of attention to details, an absolute joy to thrash round a track either for track days or competetive sprints. This will make a great car for someone, lot of car for your money. sad to see you selling it Richard, but hey new plans eh... Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
