Couple of BDR questions...

BDR is typically the ONLY replica that asks for BDR only replies, it's gets tiresome. It's just freakin' plastic car, like any other.

Excaliber, lighten up - you're simply wrong. The BDR owners don't build their cars like many of the kits builders out there, therefore they may not know that their questions can be answered by other manufacturers. We have no problem with the SPF's, FFR, ERA's etc...and many of us drool over the polished Kirkham. Not sure what you issue is.

Seems to me the BDR guys are much more accepting of other makes, unlike our other South African originated siblings. By the way, did a search for "Only BDR owners need reply" and nothing came up. If we can be accused of anything, I suppose many of us think our cars handle a bit better than some of the others out there - that's about it.

Your crazy. Start a SPF or Roush thread, and you will get all kinds of opinions.

Ain't that the truth.

Hey, Ernie is slowly getting better and I think he's turned the corner now. He just bought a TKO600 to replace that old tired Toploader and I believe he said he'll be financing an alloy block on his credit card very soon so he can replace that tired old cast iron FE.

EDI: Oops, I forgot to write "KMP owners need only reply."

Your delusional, hear's a quote from Panavia (an SPF owner) on the last SPF vs. BDR thread:

"Superformance over Backdraft -- the backdraft cars are scary underneath" I could fill page after page with derogatory comments from SPF owners toward the BDR's such as: "you get what you pay for" ... I could go on and on. Maybe you should read a little bit about what your boys are saying about BDR's before you make ill informed comments. Pretty sure Roush and BDR have a pretty good relationship.

To answer the original question, feel free to call a BDR Dealer and only a BDR Dealer (just kidding - feel free to call an SPF dealer too) who has experience with different set ups, they will be glad to talk to you about what they have seen work for different race or street applications or other issues like high curbs... Or you could post a thread, have a knucklehead hijack your post ranting about BDR owners.
