Calm down. I haven't heard of you before and don't make a habit of searching peoples profile posts before asking an innocent question. I had hoped that a small one -model, region-specific forum may be relatively free of keyboard warriors.Scuffers wrote:Really?captain wrote:I wasn't fishing or intending to wind anyone up so forgive me, no offence intended.
Were you involved in development of the original conversion? Who are GKN?
Like I said, all I'd heard (literally) were vague rumours and half stories so was looking for some opinions on the truth of the matter.
Cheers
you got as far as drive-shafts yet have no idea who I am in relation to the kits out there?
Hint, I (under the trading name Link-Up) designed and made the kits used by MSC/Brooke Kensington/etc. since 2004, it's by far the most used conversion out there, sold in 6 countries with several hundred kits shipped to date.
as for GKN http://www.gkn.com/Pages/default.aspx, they are one of the words largest powertrain/Aerospace engineering companies, (with revenues over £7Bn), they make parts for just about every car manufacture on the planet.
(Goggle clearly isn't what it used to be!)
I haven't read much about honda conversions and have only had an Elise for a few months. A friend of mine, whom I trust, put a duratec in his Elise because of his concerns about the Honda driveshaft issue, So I'm asking here for some more opinions/experiences.
