Generally, MK's are excellent. Obviously they opened their legs and gave a big invitation for a kicking. They duely got a good hard firm kick in
the bol!ocks with the posting that CAlvinX made - which, to be fair was maybe justified but ultimately will do MK a favour.
I bet every car from MK Sportscars will now be checked over and whoever welded that particular chassis severly reprimanded.
It's probably the best time to buy an MK!
Go for it - and good luck! Thanks for the compliment regarding the website... it took many, many hours of hard work! That's why I look SO
old!

I would go along with Steve on this. The MK show car was indeed of poor standard, but I think this was not indicative of their usual standard by any
means judging by my own experience and that of all the other MK's I have seen on the road. CaLviNx is making a sweeping statement that this is
MK's usual standard based on 1 chassis. At the end of the day if you order a chassis from any of the suppliers and it isn't up to scratch
when you go to collect you can always reject it.
Try a u2u to alister667 on here - he is an MK owner and in Dungannon N.I.

whichever manafacturer you go with they will all cost around the same IN THE END
the problem is on the phone they tell you, you can build one of there cars for 5 grand and the other Manafacturer tells you the truth 8 grand (Im
talking of a good spec car)
then you think youll go with the 5 grand car and it ends up costing 9k

I'll borrrow SWMBOs camera tomorrow and photograph the welds on mine (the chassis was delivered about 2/3 months ago).
Up to know other than lots of splatter I havn't noticed anything untoward, that is unless I don't know what I'm looking for

Overwhelmed by the amount of feedback im getting here, this is great!!!
Like I say itll be next year before I actually buy a kit. Im being realistic moneywise, but once I have the initial funds for the kit itself, I dont
want to hang about - hence the early groundwork now.
After a lot of thought Ive decided on the engine. Price per grin seems to indicate a 2nd hand CBR 900 (fireblade) lump.
And I know ill def need a sierra donor.
Once the garage is built ill probably buy the sierra, strip it, and spend the rest of the year till I can afford the kit cleaning up all the donor
bits, and **maybe** buy an engine if the garage doesnt go over-budget, although thats never going to be the case!!!!
A massive decider on the MK has been the fact that they have an irish dealer. Ill maybe persuade the wife a day out down south would be nice, and call
in for a chat, you know, "since we are passing, darling....."
To be fair she is 100% about the kit, as long as it means I wont be buying a motorbike. I think she would much prefer a cobra style kit, but that isnt
really my bag.
As for the weld situation, I think ill reserve judgement till I see a chassis for myself. If im happy with the irish dealer, and im ready to order, I
think a cheap flight to the mainland for a look around MK wouldnt go amiss come the time. Just to be 110%.

The pictures and replies speak for themselves, also if it comes to light that any other kit makers standards are below what you pay your hard earned
£££ I will point that out too, so as there is NO victimization or talk of favoritism.

Completely impartial of cause hence your avatar.
I seem plenty of customer built MK's and not seen one welded like that show car, mine wasn't.
On the body I have no complaints and other than one bit above the arch simply looking a little odd everything fitted 100%.
Based on my kit I'd recomend them.
