I Agree with Ian, and Bill

i agree!

[Guest salty_monk]

Yes.... I enjoyed beating Joey too!!

[Jon Bradbury]

I think what I meant to say was " the kit contains much that is c**p".

 

For example, what is the point of supplying the Zimmerframes when for a little bit more you could supply decent shockers?

 

And another example : Despite achieving the magic measurement from top of screen over rollbar and down to boot lid the roof does not fit.

 

And another example : despite a swirl pot being put in the RHE tank, it still gets fuel starvation on RH bends.

 

And again : rust on the front headlight units, rust on the "stainess" panels.

 

Lack of chassis structure under the floorpan.

 

Indifferent fit of plasma cut panels (no excuse for this - those machines are accurate).

 

Supplying non SVA compliant parts (eg, exhaust, mirrors, etc).

 

The windscreen to scuttle fit - it's 1" wider!

 

Need I go on?

 

 

Yes, it's fun and there is a tremendous sense of pride when you get your MAC. And Bill really is a wonderful person. Honest. But the attention to detail, the sourcing of these cheap components - that's cr*p. I'm objecting because I have to buy them twice - once in the kit, then again to replace them because they're rubbish (especially those shockers!).

 

I'm not saying anyone's finished car is rubbish, although poorly built examples exist - as Bill demonstrates with the red car. It's the kit itself and the quality of the components that I raise questions about. Sorry if that isn't towing the Party line.

[Guest micky bigthumbs]

I think you might be right john ...just the way you put it

[Jon Bradbury]

Well, yes. I do like the car that I built, and all the other pretty examples, but I see nothing wrong with the way I worded it. If others want to infer I'm casting aspersions on their build quality when in fact I am not, that is their problem, not mine.

 

And Bill, before you have a go at me, I just want to say that although I have not seen your car in the flesh, it's obvious to me it is a far better quality build than my own!

Well said John (this is getting a habit! keep agreeing with him!)

A lot of the problems wouldn't take much to sort out, and YES! those shockers aren't "fit for purpose" in my opinion.

Anyway back to the thread. Hope your first day went well!
