Roadster design technology
Tell me about this kit's design technology--I noticed that the kit we're discussing has 11" disk brakes all around--what other good stuff is built into it? Any planned future changes or upgrades?

While Bryan, Barry, Karen and Slow Dawg could talk better to this, there are improvements being added to the car all of the time. The seat and seat belt configuration in my car versus one shipped a couple of months later is entirely different and much improved in the newer design.
The frame is a little heavier than most, but that adds some safety. Alot of the replicas use the "Fiberglass Tub" technology. I have not found any drawbacks to it after 1000 miles. One benefit is that you get to achieve an awsome buzz while glassing the peices together. I do wish the car was more geared towards road racing, but I am sure it will not be the hampering facter when I finally get it on the track. Bryan and the gang are great to work with. I think that the company ranks up there with the top manufacturers, they just produce way fewer vehicles. One thing to keep in mind with them being a smaller company is if you want something different done, ask them. They make alot of the parts themselves and can customize. I messed up my door lock holes, and they were able to ship me a set without the holes drilled. This allowed me to reposition the one that was bad. I know people have upgraded the frame paint (highly advised, especially if you are not going to do any frame mods.) Tom |
Frame paint upgrade--good idea.
Golf clubs fit in the trunk, right? |
Never tried clubs in the trunk, don't golf. Why spend the day walking around on a nice front lawn chasing a white ball around and replacing it when it goes in the water when you can be in the car, 4000RPM in 5th gear shortly after pulling out of the toll gate enjoying the wonderfull set of pipes that sound better than any pipe organ???

You HAVE to golf when you're retired--it's an unwritten rule. Besides, it gives me an opportunity to contemplate the creation of a Cobra golf cart! :D
