DAX Rush ££££££££££!!!!
What are Dax Rushes so expensive? A lot seem to be fitted with cosworth engines that accounts for some but others have non turbo engines(?) yet seem
to be valued by owneres at least a lot more than any other make.

I my opinion, personally think that the build quality of the dax is much better than any of the other 7 kits on the market, if I dare say it …even
better than a westie.
Personally I like my mk and I’m sticking with it and would have another of them any day

omega0684 has just got himself a Dax. I have yet to have a peek at his, but the ones I have seen have ooozed class. And I would agree with Graeme,
they look better made than the Westerhams too...

The Rush's I've looked over are justiied in commanding the prices they do IMO. As mentioned, the kits are expensive to start with, but
made to a very good standard. Also people generally spend a lot on finishing them properly with expensive guages, carpet sets (usually supplied by
Dax too).
I love my Indy, but if funds allowed a Dax would probably be my car of choice.

You need little feet, well smaller than my size 13's.
And I'm too tall.
And too fat.
And too poor.

I was going to buy one of those dodge viper replicas
but having seen all the effort which needs putting into the body
youd need a superb workshop really
IM happy with my Mk now it looks like a car
some daxes are nice but I wouldnt pay that much for one

I must admit whilst they are quite blingy I've always been a bit bemused by the apparent lack of stiffness in the middle (cockpit/tunnel)
section - they are not as deep as most others. How many Dax have you seen racing?

i have a DAX rush, i the basic kit is £5200, and you dont get a lot for that, imo. but taking atour around DAX's workshop shows that the cars
are supplied in excellent condition and quality! i have posted some picks of my build so far and i will update shortly.

Been to look around dax they are good IMHO. but even the LWB could not acomodate my legs and the footwell not even in racing boots.
Was a little unsure about the front triangulation ( engine bay ) but there are enough cars about lots of them with 300 bhp plus and they seem to take
it well!
the Vortex i have has loads more leg room and pedal box space even with the V8 - bike engine cars have even more !!

You need to be patient and be on the ball when one comes up for sale that is unfinished. I was all set to build an Avon till by total chance the Rush
Id been waiting for came up on ebay for less than Id was expecting to pay. A rolling chassis with bodywork and otherwise unstarted, it had a partial
loom laid in and a pedal box bolted in place. It couldnt have been at a more perfect starting point for me, ready for a few changes and most of the
really expensive stuff that has to be bought from DAX already bought. I bet my build cost would have been pretty much the same had I built
anything else, as Ive bought very little from DAX.
