Seen these Stiggy Banks in Tescos. Think they were priced up between 10 & 15 spondoolies if I can remember correctly.




Lovely car OP Does look soooo much fun!

[Fartgalen]

That looks like a fun little toy !

Ooooh, 4agze, standard SC12 or something bigger on there? They do pack an awfy nice punch with a different pulley on there, even in something that weighs twice as much.

Excuse the ignorance, is it a Fisher Fury?

I was thinking of sticking cocking great big PistonHeads smilies in the racing roundels (white bits).... and possibly some orange stripes, to improve visibility for a splash of colour.

Opinions please, distinguished PetrolHeaders?

Standard SC12, bigger pully, runs at 9psi on the ol' boost gauge, so in a weighs-nothing car, it is very feisty indeed.

All the kit cars are roughly the same to be honest, but this is technically a Sylva Phoenix on the V5, factory built to a remarkably high standard. It is basically a Fisher Fury, nicer rear end though imho, and looks less dorky with a wind-deflector instead of a windscreen and no comedy sized doors.

[OlberJ]

Aha, i always wanted an SSC Stylus myself, just the right mix of race car and road car for me.

If you get bored, stick the SC14 in there, cheapish upgrade and you'll laugh your socks off. Used to be a lad on our Mr2 forum with a rather daft 240odd bhp 4agze and the noise it made was incredible.

Excellent choice though, looks extremely clean.

I was thinking either viper-esque or ascari-esque stripes to start with, but the "drove under a paint roller" does look pretty slick on that race jobby.

Your purchase looks awesome! Lovely lovely motor that. I'm so jealous.

Did the checkout lady make an attempt to scan your steering wheel?

I didn't know they did factory built, are there many factory cars about? Would it be rude to ask approximately how much?

The original paperwork charges for the build etc. and I think it was made by RAW as it happens, it shows though, everything fits really well, and is nicely finished.

The car was on pistonheads advertised at 8k - I sniped it on eBay for near enough that, but new the receipts total 24k ish I think!

that looks an awesome beast, are you really using it as a daily driver? you must have another car surely?
