Left Field Westfield


One of the craziest cars at TAS was this westfield. Having watched the build of this car it was very interesting to see it come together. But who would have thought you would tune something that is aready an awesome lightweight machine.



One Guess. Crazy old Amemiya-san. He has already created about 5000000 million Rx7 FD3s derivations and the Rx8 isn't really worth chasing speed with, so he turned his attention to something more personal.



The result is amazing and totally unexpected. While not exactly F1, it sits somewhere in between road and race car. The first thing you notice is cowl. dropping down to a more pointed design and greeted with a superb dry carbon splitter/wing. it immediately defines this as a crazy body kit for a westfield.



The eyes define the face of the car and the tube frame recieves splashes of red on the suspension. This theme is carried onto the ninja theme.



Some big spacers help with wheel placement on the front. Sponsored RE-Amemiya spec items include Quantum suspension, Enkei wheels, Advan Rubber, Bride seats, ORC clutch and M7 parts. Under the bonnet there is an NA 13b that should propel this lightweight machine to criminal speed pretty quickly.



On the way aft. You find a spartan interior with just the essentials. Brake bias adjuster is one of them. Harness is another.



Rear end is pretty interesting too. Vented fenders, Large carbon wing and flat floor diffusser, should help handling.


The car is really small.  With no roll over protection.
Definately need your helmet in this one.
