New Secttion MR2 Based Kit Cars

[JeffD]

Always a hotly debated topic when it comnes up eg. ferrari replicas etc so I'd like to see a new section of "MR2 Based Kit Cars" where folks who want to discuss them can without each thread being turned love them verses hate them.

Most important thing would be a strict rule that if you dont like them dont post!!!!

Think it's such a shame that every time someone mentions them theyre "run out of town" as it were when theres a lot of quite technically minded people who could benefit members in other ways are put off the club - you might not like what they do but sometimes how they do it is an interstinbg read especially for folks like myself who like ordianry bodykits etc.

Speaking as "michael" here and not "IMOC Moderator" I'm not convinced there are enough of these threads to justify a new section TBH but I agree that the constant bashing is getting frustrating.

I'm not a huge fan of bodykits in general but I do appreciate good workmanship and a desire to do something different.. unless it's Veilside of course, that's just wrong

Remember that the report post button is there if anyone thinks another poster is overstepping the mark.

I think th eonly reason there arnt more threads is that they always get bashed :-(

Couldnt we have one as a trial and if it doesnt get used then bin it and move the threads back inti general or something?

[Quigonjay]

theres is a few of them on twobrutal as they usually end up with engine swaps too

I agree with Jeff on this one. I know TB is a no no on here etc. but there's a great project section on their forum and it's really great to see the progress of builds.

Yeah I think a plastic cars section would be a good idea, TRDs, Ferrari, Veilside can all live happily together Should be a straight rule that posts in the section can't be "I don't like", "Why do that" etc.. constructive posts only.

The ferrari kit people do just get a barage of "why" which is out of order.

Veilside's deserve it

[JeffD]

I like reading what people do with their cars too - even I dont like what they do its still interesting to me and sometimes they may use a techiniqe, place to buy something etc which you would find useful doing something a bit more normal.

Thers only so many "should I fit a downpipe" and "how do I get 300BHP" threads you want to read LOL

Loved that thread on electric MR2s :-)

Veilside's deserve it

We've disagreed a bit in the past, but that's one thing I do agree with

I can see where your coming from Jeff but giving them there own section is kind of making them outcasts also, people that give them a bashing are in the minority any way and are entitled to their opinions i guess.....not sure why its only a different body kit

[HighwayStar]

Do you prefer Helena Christensen, Naomi Campbell or Giselle Munchen? If there are different aesthetic choices people will always have a preference (unless of course you could organise a fantastic 4-way!! ... mmmmm).

Lol.....but come on they are just a Yaris with a different shell......

Meanwhile back on topic...... ;-')

I just think it would be interesting (and beneficial) to see what people do in terms of what is at the end of the day an extreme bodykit. Even if you dont lik ethe end result sometimes there is an impressive display of effort and you can still learn stuff which could then be applied to perhaps regular bodykits.

All this rubbishing of kit cars very much reminds me of the time when I used to be a member of the MR2DC and daren't mention that I drove an "import"....and look where things are now :-)
