Hope your car hasnt been hunted with mistaken identity

If memory serves me right, the lad who bought the Fortune kit from them was offered fit and paint service, although I imagine they sub it out and put their cut on top and you have no control over finish. Regardless who does it, still isnt going to be cheap for what looks to be a small outlay, I think thats the point being made. I paid the best part of £900 to get a rt chargespeed made to fit and paint and understand (after the event), rt allow two days to fit and paint themselves. So fitting 2 bumpers, 4 arch extensions, sills, spoiler etc and paint and the grand for the kit is a drop in the ocean. I seem to remember Veilside was planning a rocket bunny build so maybe he can update once he starts.

Managed to buy an unused 2nd hand one. As the dash has to come out will also trim that in the same alcantara style wrap I used on the zed.

Got my seat and harness bar arriving this week so got to do that to, will get a few 6 am drives in, less traffic then doesnt really like pootling this one with that state of tune also got a fezz heater to fit, mine wont budge from hot, so a bit toasty with these temps

Absolutely, but if your going to offer figures, they need to be acurrate ish, if anyone went into this with 3k budget they wont get far, so no battle, just making sure the questions of costs are accurately addressed for the benefit of the op

What they pay in the US has no bearing on UK costs and being a full respray cost is circa £2.5k there is no chance of getting this kit fitted for £500.

But we are not in the US

Rough guess, to get the rb kit mentioned fitted and sprayed, your looking at £5k - £6k minimum and thats if it doesnt need major work. Then you need some proper wheels £2k +. £10k budget would be about right.

Its at the garage having some rc5+ pads Typical

Having been on the rx7 forum when a lad bought a knightracer fortune kit and watching the thread from day 1, just no. https://www.youtube....h?v=tLXuuP8sEhM After it came out of the above bodyshop, it went to another bodyshop a few months later to start again Fitting and paint cost him more than the kit and yes, he did buy mania alloys, which he believed to be custom made by inovit in the states.

Fatest bike is 9.58, a zx10r, you can buy one from the shop tomorrow, just like a 911. And back to the op's topic, I would bet this year the h2r breaks the pikes peak record.

Anything can be done if your pockets are deep enough.

No, what its like saying, which is exactly what i said is, on average roads bikes are faster than cars, iom is great reference to that ; ) Of course pikes peak and f1 cars with aero are quicker, never going to argue that, but you can hardly use them on public roads, let alone afford them. Just to reference your Nurburging ring mention, a std R1 has lapped the ring in 7.10, with speed limits in place and during tourist sessions, although that is bridge to gantry, not many road going cars faster than that

So why cant a car lap the iom as fast as bikes, you do know they have corners there right?

Well no, it was built as a race track and is a privately owned "toll road" that allows public access, so is not a public road, so lets say, on normal roads (which we all drive daily) there isnt many things that will touch a full fat sports bike with good pilot.

although the Nurburgring tells an opposite story Which was built as a race track

You dont often see an F1 car on the road though IOM TT is a perfect example for me, no car has ever got close to pretty much std bike you can buy out the shop

I have done exactly the same at Alton Towers

Corners are the best bit on a bike, so much fun I appreciate on a track 4 wheels will generally be quicker, but as Rob says, not much would keep up with a well piloted bike on A roads.

^^ More serious than your Wales link

^^^ and i quote from the article Hunting for Pokémon is bringing them into the real world

I was there when it was notorised. After mum died I got "by the way...that money, your mum told me to hold it for 5 years" I dont get this bit by the way, how was the money released to your aunt, who authorised that, even as an executor she would need yours and the solicitors authority.

Indeed. I don't have the backup from my brother to pursue it as he doesn't want to upset my aunt. I said when the pound bounces back, you're essentially paying on my behalf not to not upset her. Well you dont need your brothers permission to get your share released, he can leave his with her should he not want to upset her. If there is nothing legally binding (i.e beyond verbal), i would simply write to your aunt explaining your situation (financial problems) and that you need the money released to you now, with lines like, your mother wouldnt want you to be up sh*t creek without a paddle when the money was meant to help you etc Send it recorded post, keep a copy for reference. If she refuses or ignores you, write another letter letting her know you will be instructing a solicitor (hopefully the one who was had the will) to collect the sum on your behalf and any further correspondence should be through them if she has not released the funds to you by such and such a date and she will also be liable for any costs incurred. If that doesnt work, a brief meeting with a solicitor and a letter sent will not cost the earth, dont forget from that point, she will also be spending money on a solicitor and if she doesnt, she wont really have a leg to stand on and will be pretty much laughed out of court if it does get to that stage.

Sorry to say but thats inaccurate, they know who they are on the most part, but we are bound by rules of engagement and they know that. All the attacks on French soil have been committed by known terrorists that are on the radar with intelligence agencies/police etc, and have often been previously prosecuted and or questioned, but again we are powerless do anything, probably because its against their human rights, rather bizarrely.

Most of the Mx5 boys use Jack Smith in Swansea but maybe worth a look on mx5nutz see if there are any recommendations.
