CR v's Homebush Fibreglass

[Mando]

Hi Steve,
I would agree with every point that Boxhead has made. The main reason I went with CR was that it doesnt run a Jag rear end with inboard brakes. There are some things that Im not happy with my kit, but as stated previously, all kits have somethings that could be improved.
Like Boxhead I didnt realize the rear wheels would end up with the same dish as the front, no dish. For this reason alone I would not buy CR. It cost me over $5500 to have the rear end engineered, then have made, new upper and lower arms, new bushes, new axles and cut down the wheel alignment adjusters at the rear of the suspension.
Also if you look closely the front wheel arches are much larger than not only the original cars, but other kits such as Harrison, G Force, RMC and Homebush, the other kit your looking at.
Further to this the relationship between the tyres and both the rear and front guards are not as tight as they could be. there are large gaps at the bottom of the guards that to me dont look right.
As far as the car going together, I couldnt agree more with Boxhead, its easy and really good fun.
I dont know a thing about Homebush but I would take a look at G Force in WA. His car is about as good as you can get for shape and I understand that he has started to install the Jag XJ40 rear suspension with its outboard brakes.
Thats my 2 cents worth.

Regards.
