Sylva Stylus what queistions to ask
As per title what questions to ask
after last post
link thing
think i like stylus best
so going to ask a few more questions about it
that's were you all come in
have already asked a few questions got this reply
(thanks in advance pinto)
The Stylus is the next later generation Sylva from the Fury. It is very
similar, but has slightly larger (taller) bodywork, doors and a boot.
This one is a fairly early one. I bought the chassis in '97 and spent 2
- 3 years building it up (slowly). It is pre-SVA, it was registered,
although not completed, a few weeks before SVA came in. It has a number
plate related to the age of the donor vehicle, a T plate. Externally, it
has a paint finish, faired in headlamps and an under-body exhaust
system. The interior requires some finishing. It is mainly black vinyl
(seats and dash) and has carpet over the tunnel and rubber matting on
the floor. The engin is a 1600cc Ford X/Flow, from a Mk1 XR2, which has
been modified with a fast road cam (kent 234), lightened flywheel and
crank, pocketed pistons and steel rocker posts. It might have more mods
which I can't remember, I bought it after the mods had been made. I had
hardened exhaust valve seats put in so it would run on unleaded. I also
fitted twin weber 40 DCOEs, and a basic Aldon electronic ignition
system. The engine does run a bit hot. It would probably benefit from
having a larger radiator fitted, It is OK while you are moving though.
The gearbox is a ford 5 speed unit from a sierra. It has a live rear
axle from a mk2 escort, and the prop shaft is a custom build unit.
Brakes are standard mk2 Escort. Not sure what else you might need to know.
The car has not been used for the last year, since the birth of our
daughter, but has been stored in a dry garage. It only has 1000 miles on
the clock. Since the lack of use it is on a SORN and the MOT has
expired, although it only has done a couple of miles since the last MOT.
Money and time are now in too short supply, and I hate seeing the car
sitting unused in the garage.
The car is in St.Albans
It does have a roll-up roof, and I did make some side screens, but these
have not really been used and will require some fine tuning. The car has
only been wet a couple of times.

I would put this message on the clubstylus forum, might get more answers there.

Main thing to ask is if it's registred correctly, as he mentions pre SVA, there should be no names like Ford or escort/cortina on the V5.
