You expect teething problems when you build your own kit but you trust that important parts supplied are correct and have been designed to withstand general use on public roads. Parts of the chassis are built like a tank, maybe over engineered, then some important parts are the complete...

My father had a near miss the other day, luckily he was not travelling at high speed. The near side rear lower suspension link (the single connection to the chassis) tore open like a tin can, the wheel went out and up into the arch. He spent 4 hours waiting for road side assistance on a busy...

Hi I have visited the MDA web forum and see you have a problem with your sway bar and drop links,the setup you show in your pictures does not look at all correct everythig looks too close together,we purchased are sway bars and blades from RallyDesign and made our own drop links.The sway bars...

Hi All The post from Steve Danger has worried me a little,why are we bothering to build our MDA cars only to find out that they drive sideways,surely the car was fully tested before all the chassis and parts were produced.????I am sick of hearing about potential problems and dont want to...

Hi Jim D In my opinion the short upper links should be mounted on the other side of the upright,to me it makes sense as you then have the upright secured from both sides. Does anyone else agree or disagree with me?,does it make alot of difference.?

Re: covin Porsche 965 turbo 2 Hi Again Just a quick qestion,as the exhaust system takes a really fast route out the rear of the car i used the biggest mufflers i could fit under the car and its very tight.I got 2 new units that were for a 2ltr Toyota to try to keep the sound at a reasonable...

Re: covin Porsche 965 turbo 2 Hi Not given it a good run yet,just up and down a private road(honest) as it needs MOT.Rears are 265/45/17 fronts are 225/45/17,but as i said its still rear heavy and need to add around 40-50 kgs to front end,i could of gone down the Porsche engine route but the...

Re: Calling MDA Owners(poor souls) Hi Yes 3 of our five items have arrived and i thankyou for it, hope to see the others in the near future.

Hi Yes yours does look different,could you take some more photos when you have time,maybe with the rear clip open so i can see alot better. We purchased the body and chassis package,minus the steering rack and shocks.The steering rack is Ford Cortina as specified by MDA,shocks are AVO.Dont know...

Re: covin Porsche 965 turbo 2 The colour is Porsche Polar Silver,i bet a 40 would look a bit special done in this colour,theres a very slight pearl in it and seams to change with the light.

Re: covin Porsche 965 turbo 2 Hi The engine at the moment is stock but was in such good condition when i got it (in parts)it was re-bored and was all completely cleaned,the chap i got it off used it for up hill racing.I had to do mods to the airflow box,getting rid of the large plastic filter...

Hi You must understand that the new MDA panels are not like these ones,they fit alot better,this is just me showing you what we had to deal with with are particular kit and to prove that we are not just talking dowm MDA to cause an upset and dont wish to put people off from purchasing what will...

Here we have a panel straight out of the box it came in along with all the others,obviously this was replaced.These are CNC cut.????

Chassis,you will have to save and zoom in on this one,most of the panels have been replaced with correct fitting ones.In the green circle where the rear top suspension link arm fixes,this upright part of the chassis is 30mm towards the rear than the other side,we had to cut the link rod,re-weld...

Rack gator rubs on chassis member and catches on external panel,this is the original position before the whole cradle was chopped out and done properly,it is now central and below, so no snagging.
