2 Dominator TS400 Bargains?
Had a quick look and couldn't see this posted already.
Firstly this looks rather a good deal considerings its new.
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120350171923
But, together with http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120350846348 must make it a great opporunity for somebody.
OK its only 1 physical car, but its 2 bargains

The kitcar crissis program killed it.

And how well it killed it, the transaxle charade was down to incorrect fitting, proper mountings were available from Nova Racing / Allens performance
and would have been easy to install as they were making engine mounts anyway. The best bit was the front suspension breaking when the guy bounced the
car.

Bit of each i think, bad welding for front suspension breaking and the inability to follow instructions or freely available get information for the
transaxle. I'm using the same trans in my going on forever build and all the info was available on the websites at the time, mounting plates
over the counter. Not really sure if someone could be that incompetant or it was done specially for effect.

I must have missed part of the series.
I can remember watching up to the point the diff moved and the chain came off on the first track test drive. And I'm sure I saw the episode
after that.
Were there a load more then?

If I remember he bought one off martin MK and copied the chassis, not the 1st time and I doubt if it will be the last that martins work has been
copied, A few of us remember a company who copied the indy and at one of the shows actualy had it on display with the top wishbones upside down when
questioned claimed it made it handle better

I thought the track test episode was the last, there were many in front, two different chassis and a multitude of cockups
