Dave F Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 Hi guys I'm looking to scratch an itch this year by buying a built kit car for a bit of summer fun, I know some of you guys have owned or own one so what tips could you offer as I literally know nothing about these. Was looking at either a sylva striker/robin hood type for around £4-5k but am not sure of the differences between the different makes. Any advice welcome...

Jimmy James Posted February 11, 2012 Share Posted February 11, 2012 I'd get the factory five gtm but more expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave F Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 Should of bought the V8 westfield I had for sale a month back. Did see that, was just a bit over my price but still a bargain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave F Posted February 11, 2012 Author Share Posted February 11, 2012 If you are planning on some track use stay away from bike engines unless its been properly setup I will definately track it as Brands is only 5 mins from my house, was hoping to find something with a Zetec or 4A-GE so its easy to work on and get parts for.
