Hi all,

Awesome! R1 Strikers are great!

Yours will be a tad different to mine though - mine is 21 in May!

Thanks guys.... Will post some pics tomorrow or Sat, Paid £1500 for complete engine kit, not too bad a price as its in A1 condition.

Planning on completing for next Summer so hope thats not too ambitious ?

Cheers, Kosmo

I like the R1 Striker. They're a great looking car and have the best proportions of any seven style car IMO. Good luck with the build.

Congrats Kosmo,

I collect my new striker chassis on monday (my second). Had a look at yours last week. I was amazed how much lower your 05 engine sits compared to my current 02 engine.
Your full cage looks great. I chickened out of that and just went for side impact bar on this one.
I'm hoping to do a buid diary for this one if i ever find time.

Good luck with build.

Hi I did build my Toyota engined Striker in 3 months!

Then spent the next year re-doing everything properly and now on my 3rd engine and 3rd re-build now I actually know what I'm doing
