New Owner Intro
Posted: Sat Apr 24, 2010 9:06 pm
Hi all.
I've just picked up my new Stylus today. Originally built and owned by Brian. A very nice chap and a good quality build.
Its a 1.7 Crossflow on R1 carbs, so not the most modern but after driving it 80miles back from Chester today, its a nice engine and I think I'll be leaving it like this for a year or longer before looking to upgrade unless something nice comes up cheap before.
I expect I'll be on here numerous times asking some sensible and probably some daft questions about the Stylus.
ToDo list so far:
New seats as I prefer the safety of headrests. Any pointers on these, anything to avoid as its hard to fit or the wrong shape? Any nice pictures of your seats you could post to give me a feel what different types look like?
Swap the sealed beams for halogens, recomended replacements anyone?
See if I can raise the height of the Steering column so I can fit my legs under easier.
I will be a Stoneleigh next weekend so feel free to come and find me for a chat. I'll be parked up on the Robin Hood (RHOCaR) stand and camping with them too. Any pointers on Stylus ownership welcome.
Cheers
Rob
