Dave,
I'm sure Nev would happily supply fixes to the perceived problems of MXXX (select any kit) for a suitable consulatant's
remuneration.
What he's doing (gratis) is pointing out perceived shortcomings to punters who buy the kits.
Whether punters (like me) choose to act on Nev's opinion is a personal, not a commercial matter.
Bob.

Sent Chris a U2U and the triangular brackets at the rear of the transmission tunnel are indeed for the reverse gear motor.

Keep the pictures coming in this section and ignore the person in this thread with those negative comments.
Photos help other builders and enthusiasts with those tricky questions that can only be answered with a picky!
Good luck with the remainder of your build

Ok bit of an update - I've recently bought some extra parts from MK, and had all the sierra parts refurbed (except the diff - anyone got a
3.14?!) I'll start a new thread with fresh pics asap!
Cheers

Looks beastful with the Slicks on! Also looks very wide track at front, maybe its the lack of arches and nose etc.

I had not seen any pictures of one with the front and rear anti roll bar before. Is it normal to have welded anti roll bar?

Cracking! Looks very nice. Front track looks very wide, is it standard or look wide because of the lack of arches?

Attention to detail is spot on. I actually think I will do my chassis silver based on how your car looks. What colour are you doing the rest of the
body work eventually??
Keep us posted!

Thanks guys, the wheels are 13" compomotive CXN's, and yep i think the track looks particularly wide because of the lack of
bodywork/arches.
I'm planning a few things for the final body graphics/colour, bit of an F1 fan if that gives you any ideas...!?!

I thought he might be aluding to that too, but then thought the silver chassis would clash with the gold? If you are going for a JPS theme, then why
not go with a gold chassis?
