This site details the build of my Sylva Mojo kit car to SVA, subsequent modifications after SVA, and trackdays and events that I have attended.  The kit was ordered on 12th July 2003, collected on 11th October 2003, and SVA passed on 3rd September 2004.  Since then car has been in daily use on my commute to work, all year round! 

The record of the build is intended to be of benefit both to myself and to others who are building (or thinking of building) a Mojo, or indeed any kit car.  I've also included a section to give tips to those who might be considering building a Mojo, which should help explain some of the options available, and a history of major changes to the Mojo design over the years.

LAST SITE UPDATE: 18th June 2009

News:

18th June: Added some photos from the Wheels event that took place on 17th June.  See the misc galleries section...

28th May: Have reformatted the site so that all pages are 200pixels wider.  When I setup the site I formatted it such that it would look ok on a 800x600 resolution monitor, but I figure that most people have a lot more than that now!  Tweaked the header images to suit, hope it all works ok...

Also added some pictures of Kevin Crookes' Mojo to the gallery section.

20th April: Received a complementary copy of the May 2009 issue of Complete Kit Car, complete with article on a trio of Mojos, one of them mine!  As well as the main article, I also get a mention inside the back cover, including a mugshot...  Doh!

Completed the section relating to the side bolsters for the driver's seat.

1st April: Added a new section to the galleries, with pics from the Complete Kit Car photoshoot.

25th March: A couple of weeks ago I was invited along to a small gathering of Mojos to meet Adam Wilkins from Complete Kit Car magazine.  Matt Beardshaw from Meggt had arranged for the meeting to take place to get some coverage of his plans for the Mojo project, and invited Tom Clarke and myself along to give our input and so our cars could be included in the photos.  The article should be appearing in the next couple of months, so keep a lookout on the shelves of your local stockist!  I should also be getting copies of the photos, with permission to publish them on here, which is great - thanks to CKC!

Ed's Mojo SE passed SVA first time on 24th March - congratulations to him!  Looks as though he is very likely to make Stoneleigh this year, mighty impressive since he first sat in a Mojo at Stoneleigh last year, and only took delivery of his kit in August!

Talking of Stoneleigh, it is now less than  6 weeks until the biggest and best kit car show in the UK.  This last year has really flown by...  I will be there as usual, hopefully on both days given how local it is for me.  Should have cracked 25k miles by then!

It should be a good year for Mojos at Stoneleigh.  Meggt will be there making themselves known, Ed should be there in his new SE (hopefully along with a couple more SEs) and Keith has let me know he is coming down from Aberdeen in his zetec '2', and I'm sure there will be a good few more turning up.

Keith also sent me some more photos of his car - see the gallery for the updates.

I have also started working on some side bolsters for the driver's seat, very blatantly copying Matt Beardshaw's idea!  In fact, Matt very generously gave me an offcut of his foam for me to use.  I have started a new page in the mods section...

20th January: Well another year is upon us!  The main news in Mojo circles is that Sylva have sold the Mojo project on to Meggt, a new company run by my good friend Matthew Beardshaw.  I've updated the links page to reflect this.

Ed is also making good progress on his Mojo SE build, with the engine started for the first time a few days ago - congratulations to you!
