I am looking for a kit car that will be used as a daily driver (needs a front window) and will kick ass on the track.....
I am leaning towards the sylva mojo at the moment. What would you all think in this price category?? It has to be made for tall people (2meter) and a rear engine ia a pro (I have already got a civic type r engine).
I know a striker is very good but I don't fit in there... and i figured that a mojo is build by the same guy so?
Does anybody use it on the track on regular basis?
thanks!
I'm well aware that both cars are the brainchild of Jeremy Phillips as my Striker was a Sylva car rather than a later Raw model.
I drove a Mojo on the road and I found the driving position a little strange although it must be said that was the ONLY Mojo I drove and the handling and driving characteristics might have been down to the suspension/tyres and general set up of that particular car. Also, compared to the Striker the overall feedback I got from the Sylva Forum that I subscribed to while I had my car was that the Mojo wasn't fantastic on a track and certainly nothing like a Striker.
That said, if I was to choose between the two as a daily driver I would go for the Mojo as the simple practicalities of getting in and out are much easier in that than in a Striker.
Getting in and out easy doesn't matter to me. As long as I CAN get in!
Why do you think that the striker design is so much better on a track than a mojo? Is it because the rear engine? I don't think that J P has got the geometry wrong? And it's even lighter than the striker.
Have you got a link to the mojo forum for me?
Thanks!
