Default Well its here

Guy's,

Finally the beast has arrived, to put it nicely its

After collecting it from East Sussex yesterday and having a entertaining 5hr drive home, I'm well pleased and still can't believe I've been lucky in getting this.

The picture below is of the car before I've cleaned it today but will take another photo tomorrow.

Its a Sylva Striker Mk2 and it has a 2.1 Zetec 16v engine on webber 45's and a megajolt ECU using Yoko A048's on a LSD

The guy I bought it from thinks its around the 205bhp mark.

It goes like stink and handle's superbly and I can't wait for the next track day at llandow on the 25th June or even more Santa POD on the strip.

The car is based on a Mk2 1600 sport Escort.
