Welcome to the madhouse. Have you done some research and decided on those three kits that you want, or are they the only three manufacturers
you've come across?
There are some other manufacturers you may also wish to consider........

Hello and welcome
A bit of advice, take your CAPS lock off!
Regarding the kit, its so personal, no one can possible decide for you. Check them all out thoroughly and write a list of the most important features
you want in a kit and then buy the one that best matches your criteria!
Good luck!
You only live once - make the most of it!

Welcome Brookie.
A few things:
1)Welcome to LCB, your one stop shop for anything car and non car related. You have a question, somebody here will have the answer!
2) Dont shout (caps) your only a foot away from me!
3) Your original question is a complicated one. Things to consider is your engine type (it does make a difference), looking and actually sitting in
the cars, location of the manufactures and finally its your final choice. We all love our own cars for different reasons. Buy the car you want.
Hope that helps,
Biz
Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Out the 3 you have named MK come out tops for me BUT have you looked around at the RoadRunner sr2 using a mx5 as a donor
they look very well thought out cars / chassis

its a bit late now but try to get to a show (newark was great in the sun today) and sit in as many as you can and talk to the owners and ask about the
build and service of the suppliers.
my car isnt exactly "low cost" but its still the one i chose after doing lots of research and chatting to other builders and drivers.
go for the one that ticks the most boxes for you
and enjoy it.

sorry for that is this better i went to the newark show on sunday and spent a lot of time looking round the trade stands on the inside i did not see
the the tigger stand but talk to the people on the mk stand and the zero stand as well and they are the ones that stood out the most im on a buget
have not got loads of money so the sr2 went out off the window dont now why but looking at the kit the sr2 was a lot of money coperded to the outhers
now the nerest one to me is mk only about 20 miles but the zero is only about 50 mles i hoping to go to a local meet soon to talk to people about the
2 cars that if i can see the zero dont now of anybody that has one

brookie, if you're on a budget, you should also consider the car from Aries.
http://www.ariesmotorsport.co.uk/
As for budget, 5k to 7k will depend on engine choice, on how many parts you're willing to collect from donor cars and recondition yourself,
etc.
It seems to me that going Bike Engined instead of using a car engine (Zetec) makes your car anywhere between 1k and 4k more expensive (depending on
engine type and if on carbs or injection).
If you want your car to be road-legal. careful where you cut corners to make your budget meet.
HappyFather
P.S. - Forgot to say, thus editing post... You can first buy and build a "base" car. Later on, after having it road legal and having had
some fun, start to make changes and add more power or more shiny to it. This line of action also helps meet budget.
