My Sylva Riot.

Ford Puma 1.7L Powered

crikey, that cockpits very narrow! I doubt I would be able to get in that and i'm not very wide. (very tall though)
I bet it's lovely to drive with that 1.7 puma unit in. My mum had a 1.7 puma and the engine was so perky. Had a shorter throw, tighter gearbox too.

I think the side impact bar is making it look narrower than it really is from that camera angle. I've sat in & driven a Riot and it's similar to my Mojo at the rear of the seat base, main difference is that the seat base tapers slightly towards the front on a Riot (the Mojo chassis sides are parallel along the sides of the seat, Riot tapers along the whole side).

Both are extremely comfortable with the standard Sylva seats. I'm 6'2" but only 12.5 stone, and had to make up some small bolsters to take up a couple of inches each side to stop me slipping around...

Owned her for a couple of weeks now and it's an absolute hoot, Wesfield widebody with a Honda Fireblade bike engine, 130bhp, under 500kg built by an ex McLaren engineer with a load of McLaren parts right through the wiring loom, the build quality is simply amazing. 2 separate garages have given her the once-over and said it's the best quality build they've seen and could be one of the best builds in the country. We're well chuffed with her and the last couple of weeks of sunshine have been beautiful.

Bought her off a friend of the family and at the price we got her for it was a no-brainer to sell the Robin Hood on to fund this Westie. So much more performance over the Hood it's almost frightening, everything is so sharp and responsive, we've got to head for the track when we get used to it a bit

Absolutely perfect! cloud9

Want Want Want!

(actually, the only thing I'd do, is swap to the new smaller headlights with the little indicators underneath them... but other than that it's my absolute perfect spec)

We had a 6R4 on them when I was building the Libra and I couldn't resist a set of 5 for it.
