Glad you guys are enjoying Z-Cars. I can't say that I like the customer service, Nor prices(rediculously high for what you get) BUT, I won't go there :grin:

Once that kit is installed, Drive the car hard and remove all Z-Cars stickers! :lol:

I have found them consistently very good. Both before and after I paid the money.
Perhaps Yorkshiremen sound grumpier than most? :lol:

Customer service has always been excellent!!! How many companies do you know who would put you and a friend up at their own home to save you having to drive all night or kip in a hotel/truck cab?? not many I can tell you!!! Chris has always been nothing but very helpful !

And I thought you liked it rough :nugget: :fear:



Can't fault the customer service from z-cars. From day one Chris has done everthing and more to help us build these cars.He even offered to let me take the pickup up to his workshop for a week so they could help finish it in time for the Ultimate Mini DVD. Mine will certainly have a z-cars sticker on it.

I agree, Chris will always go out of his way to help and if there are problems he will come up with a solution.

He was very helpful to me during the filming of the dvd and even lent me his rear tyres!!!

My biggest thing with Z-Cars is what you get for 15,000 Canadian.(thats with 2 grand for shipping). Theres no 13,000 in that kit AT ALL. Oh well, just another over priced kit car company. Sorry if I'm stepping on anyones toes but I don't buy stuff because it works well. I buy it because it works well and I don't get bent over and ass raped for it!

Well as my granny always says "buy cheap, buy twice" personally I think the kit is not too bad... not the cheapest but you tell me what you can get that'll handle as well and be as quick whilst still retaining some character for the same money????

Plus you have to look at the quality of what you get. It's not some cowboy in a garage with a blow torch! This is VERY well put together and PROVEN to work very well!

If you want a super cheap fast mini buy a $50 Crapper from the scrappy and stick 100bhp NOS on it! then when it torque steers all over the shop and blows it's self to bits don't be surprised :-

Sorry if I sound like I'm ranting its just I don't agree with bad mouthing a company when you haven't seen what you actually get, Let alone experienced it!
