Sylva Striker wanted.
Memphis - 20/11/19 at 06:01 PM

I'm looking for a PINTO engined (yes really) Sylva Striker with a live axle rear end. It must be up and running, road legal and possibly competition/track focused. Anyone out there thinking of selling? I may also look at IRS cars, but do prefer a live axle.

No there's a member who knows what he likes!!

Good luck. I hope you get to scratch that itch!

Agreed, that's quite a specific want, but if you don't ask then you don't get.

I too hope you find what you're after.

I built, drove and sold an MK Indy - great experience all round.

If I were to build again I would most likely go for a Stiker, but IRS and with a Duratec engine.

I'm perversely "Old School"lol . Been experimenting with Pinto cylinder heads including making my own downdraught version. The live axle is to combat the extra weight of the Pinto as it's a much lighter setup, and can be made even lighter with an alloy diff carrier etc.

That makes two of us then! I just missed that one in Stockport. Just couldn't get to see it in time.

i´m also looking for a striker......that green one was brilliant...and advertized for 4700,-...final sales price might have been even lower.

Would also consider a XFlow powered Striker...
