sylva mojo any good on a track?

dnbruut · #1 17th December 2007, 10:52

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!

Are you sure you dont fit in a Striker?

I used to have one and there was bags of leg room for the driver.

I wouldnt have imagined a Mojo was much good on a track, certainly nothing like the Striker which was superb!

1 no I don't fit in a striker.
2 why do you think a mojo wouldn't be anny good on a track? It's build by the same guy as the striker.

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!
