You really do like to labour on this subject so much so you are starting to sound like a parrot.

So lets get a few things straight again. I am not fixated on racing and handling. I am fixated on buying a product that is actualy road worthy a product that can be assembled correctly rather than having to hammer parts in. And chassis that when built is actualy within a tolerance that is aceptable. Is it realy to much to expect that when you spend X amount of money on a chassis kit that the wheels should actualy point in a direction that is usable. Or that the bodywork actualy fits the chassis Or that the so called MSA approved roll cage passes MSA scrutineering Or that the suspension actualy moves and the geometry actualy moves in the right direction when going around a corner.



If non of the above expectation bother you then fine. But for those that think some of the above dose matter then spending a few £'s more is worth while. It just so happens that having the above expectations all working correctly also happen to be what makes the cars quicker round the circuits.

Cheers Matt


All the above is total fabrication,all of it is just not true,again Matts in his own sad little world he must have nothing better to do,he never has any facts to back up his comments,just the usual "here say",and as always he's the only person going on about problems with other Manufacturers,1st it was MK's,then Mac1's,now MNR's and Tigers,and even Sylva Riots and every other midi the other week,we don't hear people on here who have actually built all these cars complaining about the handling or any other major build quality issues for any of the above kits,we are all very happy with our cars,there's only him harping on how shocking they all are,and because no one is taking any notice of him,he keeps going on and on about it,but why should anyone listen to him,he is in competition with them after all,so obviously his objective is to try to put off any prospective buyers,although he will tell everyone this is not the reason,but its so obvious,you only have look through your previous posts over the years,but people are wise to you now Matt,it would be akin to walking into Caterham and asking for there opinion on Westfields,you would not expect to get a unbias answer,so all I would say to any new buyer reading this thread,and thinking of buying one of the above kits,ignore Matts comments,go and look and drive all the above cars yourself,speak to people on here,who have actually built and driven these kits,and then make your own mind up.
I am not going to comment further on this thread,but just want to ensure no one is put off buying a kit of there choice,through being misinformed by Matt at Procomp.Who incidentally happens to manufacture the most expensive locost seven kit in the UK.

Hi Paul

Are you blind can you not read. Surely you are not going to say that all these people on here that are moaning about there chassis not being accurate and there geometry not being right on the cars/chassis that they have purchased from manufacturers is a load of fabrications. Are you going to accuse me of logging in under 1000's of different user names to post every question about poor quality.

Maybe you should read the forum a bit more often every point i made has been discussed ON HERE in posts not started by me. There's even people starting up businesses supplying parts to owners of one manufacturers product. Why Because the manufacturer can not be bothered to fix the problems that exists within the chassis jigs. The manufacturer even tells there customers how to ILLEGALLY bodge there car through the SVA/IVA test.

Also are you loosing your memory. I seem to recall telling you many times that i produce a Sports racing car that can be used on the road. So not really in competition with any of the manufacturers on here who produce road cars.
If i was i would hardly be on here telling people to buy road cars from manufacturers that I DO RECOMMEND.


Cheers Matt
