Hasn't this car / conversion thing being around for ages, I saw this site ages ago. Does the name indicate it's version 4 ?

It does look a bit 'Scrap-Heap Challenge' to me though

PS TYRC this is not a dig / flame etc, just a comment.

Got my MKI4 today, only ordered it on Monday, and its here. I will be building and reviewing it tonight, I cant wait.

Heres a few things I noticed when I ripped open the box this morning:
- The amount of parts used is amazing, great value
- All parts are cracking quality
- You get a screw driver with it

I wouldn't say a clone, rather, an improvement.

With the MKi4 you get tonnes of extras, like hop-ups, dirtsheilds e.t.c, plus the crash back arms, that are going to save me money, and from losing races. Also, it adds the functionality, that you can use parts from several cars.

I like it

For a low volume exclusive car of any description - you are going to be paying a premium over what everyone else is running.

I guess it's completely un-proven so the cost / value for money doesn't even come into it until the car's being used in the UK and getting results - that's the only way it will sell to be fair.
