New Owner

[Nick]

Hello

I'm fairly new to Stylus ownership, and thought I should enter the forum, because its been useful to me so far.

I bought Andy Hills car which is pictured on the website last December. It has needed a fair amount of time and cash to bring it to a point where I'm now really happy with it.

A quick list of the work so far:

Removed bonnet and boot hinges and fitted pins instead so there is better access and room,

Clutch rebuilt,

Larger exhaust silencer fitted which needed the sill cut out for fitment,

New high back Intertrim seats

Wheels painted black, with new A048 yokos fitted. ( I couln't afford new 15's just yet)

Painted the headlight area black and fitted tinted covers

Fitted bike fairing indicators within the headlight area to replace the MGF ones that looked too big for the car. This gave me room to fit an air intake for a pipercross airbox I have.

In April I also went to Tims and he fitted long travel rear suspension, new bushes all round, and set the car up. Very helpful and the mods have improved the car so much. You can drive it on any road surface without the previous pain caused by any bump.

I was disapointed that the car was not running properly for the stylus trackday, but things always take longer than planned. I hope to take it out to trackdays next year though.

I'm new to this forum stuff, and will try to upload some pics as well. If there arn't any its not worked.

Cheers, Nick

Hello Nick ,
Photos are on here but absolutely huge --- too large to view Great that you have the uprated rear arms though and sticky rubber certainly brings out the best in a Stylus

nice to see that you have got rid of those horrid seats lol! Andy took me and pete out in it before we placed our order! its a very quick car!

[Antnicuk]

looks good, i wish i only had that much work to do ,

i'll be lucky to get mine up and running within next year.

What running gear/power plant are you running?

[Nick]

The cars got a 1.8 zetec, which was built by a company called Slark Racing, and its got a modified head and piper cams. The gearbox is a type 9, and its also got a salisbury LSD. It all seems to work nicely and is certainly quick enough for me.

Welcome here, I'll send you a email soon to enter your details into the database.

You got one very nice example there.

Nick - whart are the tinted headlight covers like in the dark? do they filter out a lot of the light? we have them to go on ours!

[Antnicuk]

I like those light covers, where can i get them from, one of my glass ones is cracked.

[Pete&Matt]

Tim will be your man! good luck!

[Nick]

I got the light covers from Tim earlier in the year, and they are fine in the dark. I do have the clear ones still if you can't get the Tinted ones from Tim at the moment.

[Pete&Matt]

good good! thanks

I've got a set of brand new unfitted tinted covers that I'm keen to swap for a set of clear ones if anyone’s interested – or I’ll buy a set of clear ones if anyone want’s to sell?

[Antnicuk]

will your tinted ones fit any classic?, if so do you want to sell them?

SSC's covers are moulded to fit classic and RT.
