2004 Westfield MegaR1

I built this car originally with a Honda Fireblade engine but upgraded it in 2008 to the R1 to get the extra grunt for track/sprint use (~170bhp). The 2008 R1 has the advantage of running modern fuel injection with fly-by-wire throttle control, variable length intakes (ecu controlled) and a slipper clutch as standard. For track use it also only needs a baffle plate in the sump (fitted) to avoid oil pressure issues. Together these make it very easy to maintain and drive compared to the older bike engines still being used.

The current spec is:

Genuine Mega-* chassis (diff cage has been strengthened by Westfield)

Original Mega bodywork + newer nose

Carbon tunnel top, interior rear panel & boot lid

7” Sierra 3.38 LSD diff

Plays-kool MSA rollbar

Standard wishbones/shocks/springs

SPA steering wheel with new quick rack

AP/Westfield front brakes

Westfield reverse box

Gel battery

2008 R1 4C8 Engine (~10k miles before fitting)

Engine has upgraded clutch springs, clutch cooler oil line, oil cooler, baffle plate and “breather” mods

Power Commander for fuel tuning

Tony Laws custom exhaust manifold

Trackday friendly (i.e. Large) Simpson silencer

Wheels are Compomotive CXR with Avon ZZR (sprint compound, 185 front, 215 rear)

Spare 4x Avon CR27 “WET” tyres on refurbished Ford alloys

Weight: ~450kgs

I also have a Brian James Minno trailer suitable for storing in a single garage that can go with the car if wanted.

As a track car with occasional road use I don't think you will find better in the fun/£ stakes, the low weight makes this really rather rapid. I have tracked & sprinted this car over quite a few years so it's no show car, but it is well sorted and ready to go and still competitive in its class. Only selling due to having another Westfield that needs sorting and only a single garage.
