owelly Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 My mate Trev wants a wee car to play with. He has been looking at everything from £4000 cars to £25 Duttons on Ebay. I think he needs a part finished thing or something that needs tidying up. Please help. ☹️ ☹️ savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid...

scooby dooby doo Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 theres a striker on findit for 4250 with a 170 bhp K series... At the 4k level he's looking at furies or strikers with Xflows. The above car is an ex racer so is a bit tatty apparently - might suit him nicely HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owelly Posted April 7, 2004 Author Share Posted April 7, 2004 Nah. If he spends that much, he won't have any tinkering money left. We're talking a few hundred. He's been bidding on a Fugative. Poor chap. savin up to be eccentric. but for now, i'll just be stupid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scooby dooby doo Posted April 7, 2004 Share Posted April 7, 2004 its really worth getting one that's worth having to be honest. 4k or just under for a well used striker is probably the way forward. HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Badger Bill Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 Woo HOOO!! Strikers! Yeah! Go, Hoopy! Go, Me! Go, Owelly! If you can't / don't want to flash the cash on a Cat or a westie then the best thing is a striker. I can't rate them highly enough, but as we are on a se7en site I am aware that I have to be careful on the old 'dissin' the cat', side of things. He might get a nice x-flow but he will have to get lucky They are nice, if a little small (yup, even smaller than a seven!) But easy to tinkner with and great fun to thrash the pants off! Better still, when he gets bored it shall only cost a couple of grand and some aplication to turn it into a Bike engined super sprinter! (not the train, of course) Tell him to save for another few months and get a sorted one for 4 1/2 and enjoy the summer! BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ewenm Posted April 8, 2004 Share Posted April 8, 2004 There's a built but not SVA'd Westfield for sale near me for £4000. A mechanic at my local garage (who have just serviced the 7) has built it but loves projects so is now wanting to create space. Let me know if you want more details and I'll get them next week. Ewen. time to go to Anglesey now 71583 miles and finally rising again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coose Posted April 10, 2004 Share Posted April 10, 2004 And the same from me too! My Striker was significantly less than 4 grand, and still stands me at less than that! Saying that, it may be for sale soon due to lack of funds and use........ Glub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Trev Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Still looking. Just need something to put in me new shinny garage. Will never get finished, never mind used, so opens up a full range of cars. Have me eye on Phoenix, and toying with the idea of pan euro, but thats just today. Tomorow is a complete new day with complete and different ideas. (usually) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiny Trev Posted April 12, 2004 Share Posted April 12, 2004 Is it any good. Read a few articles in mags about Stewart Taylors Panix(st 1100 engined phoenix) and it sound good. Be interested to know what its like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Badger Bill Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I'm thinking of one of those, but the only one that is for sale is a crap colour and a touch too much for what it is... Its on pistonheads classified section. regards BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coose Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Evenin' TT - long time no see! I'd certainly recommend any Sylva to be honest, and I'm not being biased! I've driven various Strikers and a Fury and they we're all smashing! Don't tell the freaks upstairs though....... Glub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scooby dooby doo Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 I *am* beginning to lust after after a fury... I wonder - could I build one really cheap with an XF and then add the bike engine later 🤔 HOOPY R706KGU Hoopylight R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coose Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 Of course you could! But, better still - build one with a Blade motor which will cost about 500 quid more in total than a x-flow, then stick in a ZX12 at a later date! 😬 Glub! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
