Westhill Motorsports

I first wrote about Westhill Motorsports when their great gauge pod caught my eye here. Since then Mr. Yoshitomo Nishioka from Westhill has been kind enough to follow the Hatch Life blog and I’m very honored! He speaks english very well and tells me they ship all over the world so if you are interested in their product line which includes the gauge pods, tow hooks, upgraded cooling and suspension parts as well as custom circuit gear visit them at http://www.westhillmotorsports.jp. All of their products are circuit engineered as Westhill is a very enthusiatic and successful competitor in Civic cup racing, fielding a pair of EK9s.

BSR 240Z on eBay

Posted in Uncategorized with tags , , , , , on December 17, 2008 by ekhatch

One of two 240Zs built by Bob Sharp Racing to compete in IMSA in 1975 and 76 and the only survivor. This one is the backup car to the 1975 GTU class champion which was destroyed in 76. Just imagine rolling into JCCS in this…. instant rock star status.
