I'm beginning to think of Madcurl as the Shaunbag of kit car owners....

8. why do you suppose no one criticizes the dash in your car? Do you believe it's because everyone finds it attractive? Ever stopped to think it's because most people have a schmick of decency not to criticize the work of others?

Constructive comments are always welcomed.

Hehehe. Therefore "constructive comments" comments applies to all-including replica. The difference between replica and I is that replicants don't like constructive comments like, improving upon the design or making it true to the original design. Replicants are content with patting other replica owners on the back saying, "Job well done Joe Blow." "You sure nailed those badges on this build." Meanwhile, the replica(s) is WAY off the mark. The justifications for not "hitting the mark of excellent" is, "I don't have enough money."
Truely, replica(s) are perhaps the only item that is replicated, badged, and packaged that doesn't look anything like the original car that is replicated (in most cases). Rotex, Iphones, and/or anything that is electronic in nature are copied, but at lest the items looks like the real thing on the outside, but obviously the inside isn't.

1. the difference between an engine cover hiding a 2.8L engine and 20" wheels hiding Citation/Chevette suspension;
|

Which one? #011, #015, #020, The Redux, or MadSpeed? All five cars have 20" on the rears, but all three obviously don't have the same suspension. While you're pondering over which car let me ask you this question.
Which engine is being covered by this Lamborghini replicated engine cover, 4-banger or a 2.8?[This message has been edited by madcurl (edited 03-02-2012).]

10. is a builder not someone who puts things together?
I guess I still have lots of questions. I've numbered them to make it easy for you to address them one by one. But let me guess... you suddenly have more important things to do.

True that Curly, No matter how much we try to argue this fact. It can be simply put. If you have to put a badge from another vehicle other than a Fiero on your Fiero, then u are trying to resurrect someone else's design. The creativity is limited to the replication process. If however you take the creativity and you apply your own twist, hence design something that hasn't been done millions of times before, you are truly creative, not merely a " builder".
When it comes to creativity in Kitcars....
*A "builder" is someone who constructs an imitation of a designed product for its visual impact or essence. (accuracy is important)
*A " Designer ( has lots of creativity)" is someone who will take something and improve its visual impact, or altogether go through the creative process
to design a new unseen product that can exceed production limitations.
Just my opinion, doesn't mean squat....
I side with Curly....I do however see things for what they are, I appreciate the work and passion put into replicas, i judge then more on quality than design and creativity.

9. so which is it? All other kit cars look stupid next to the one you posted earlier, or just the ones that are grossly off the mark at 10 feet. Or was it 25 feet as you've said earlier as well. (Your definition keeps changing depending on how many people you want to have sympathize with you at any given moment.)

10, 25, or 50 feet with or without bifocals? Dude, take your pic. Some of the cars depicted here can be spotted from orbit. LOL.

Since you insist on posting the crappiest replicas you can find, I thought I would post some that are worthy of being badged "Lamborghini"

Trouble is, you shovel out your criticism without being asked.

Congrats. You've found yet another way to say the same thing you've been saying for more than 2-1/2 years with the same result. You must be proud of yourself. A one man crusader driving around in a kit car bashing other kit cars.

Who cares which ones? If you've got even one you're no better than the guy who uses the engine cover.

Yes... and your car is the only kit car that's ever been built with quality. Now let's revisit what you said about builders because you've obviously forgotten:
| quote | Originally posted by madcurl:
The word "builder" is loosely being applied for nobody has actually "build" anything. They have put together a "kit" using various components that were already made by various venders. |
|
So back to my earlier observation: builder = putter of things together everywhere except in a van down by the Kern River.

Are we to conclude that because of (a) kit that is greatly off the mark is considered a great looking kit? Or are we to conclude that all kits regardless of how poorly the outward appearance maybe is still-a great job well done? |

Once again:

Now, back to the business at hand... you've conveniently left out answering the tough questions.
