Alloycars are real

But a "Troll" doesn't lie....cameras do.

Now why would you want to go and say something like that? If you think I may be wrong, a polite thing to do would be to ask my why I think it's a MKII.

Firstly, as per your own posts, you have limited knowledge of the differences between the different factory five chassis and the resulting potential for parts interchangeability issues. As a guy named Messer, I'm thinking that I'm seeing aggressiveness common to people of a certain region I know.

For now, I'll ignore your insult and pretend you were just asking. Here is a picture of the car in question at the show today.


That sir is a MKII driver foot box and steering assembly. Here is another shot from the show. Take note of the steering rack location. I'm sure you see the issue. I won't say due to not knowing what I'm talking about.



Here is a picture of the a car from alloycars web site. The bar on the outside of the driver's foot box is different on a MKIII.

The pictures I have posted are examples of why there are credibility issues with some of the claims being made by alloycars and now you. So now that I have nicely substantiated my claim that the car at the show today is in fact a MKII, how about you go and take a picture of your MKIII that you claim to own and show me that I'm wrong.

EDIT: I also want to point out the same air cleaner, expansion tank, and plug wires on the motor for show pics and the alloycars pic.

Yes Sir, I understand. But what all of this has to do with my car?

My car=MKIII NEW Body=MKIV.

But I appreciate your advise.

When you look at a MKII and think it's a MKIII, it brings what you actually have into question. Seeing a picture of your car from places like the foot box interior and under the hood would allow members to give you accurate advice with interchangeability questions, or you could give the chassis number and we would know from that. As I stated earlier, we already know that alloycars is of such limited knowledge that they don't know what they are working on. When you combine their extremely limited technical knowledge and your lack of experience, you are taking a bit of a risk don't you think?

My bad, "vaporware" was said by someone else - so my apologies. No need to turn this into a spanish inquisition with Mr.Nobody, he has shared some info and it is clear Alloycars has a factory putting out FFR bodies. Let the man enjoy the journey, it's his decision not yours.

Not sure what you have, but to the FFR guys the differences in chassis series is critical. Anyone selling parts or work on FFR cars MUST know how these differences relate to what they are doing. You may see an inquisition, but FFR guys see must have information. Any vendor selling anything as a MKIII part when their own photos show a MKII chassis would be a concern. Granted, much is interchangeable, but much is also not interchangeable.

Enough with this guy or these guys already!

I will just wait to hear from actual members that have seen and inspected the cars. Hey, it may be a great car!

I feel that I have been fair on this and other threads and asked and asked and asked for simply some pics of a completed car, even offering to have one shipped at my expense so it could be be inspected! And never a response.

I guess I'm saying "PUT UP OR SHUT UP!"...That's an an old American saying.

Other than that, best of luck on your endeavors.

In the pic above, make sure they fix the wipers as they should not come out under the windshield molding. Also wondering what side vents they are using, as you may know the FFR opening needs tweaking. What brake lights do you have and how do they address the pads for the lights? Did they advise what frame changes are needed to mount the body? Do they custom make the body to your chassis as you may know the side pipe openings vary by set up. Like mentioned before, what trunk hinges do you have and how much to convert to hidden? Will they change out the perky butt and will they do a drop mod for you if not done already? Do they copy the FFR rear wheel openings or do they close them up a bit? Can they offer flared fenders for wider tires? Do they make the body symmetrical or copy the FFR layout?

Sorry for all the questions, but you would have asked these if you were going to take this big step. I have an MK3 and would be interested in buying your finished body if in good shape. Please send pics and a price. Thanks.

Can't wait to see the finished product. I would be interested as well once I get a clear understanding of what it is they are doing. I am asking you as a real customer as it would be an honest opinion in lieu of a sales response.

Good luck with your adventure.
