Hi, Guest
It involves common sense. If you know nothing about the car and you're not horribly mechanically-inclined, you don't butcher the car and a kit and then make like the car wasn't driveable.
He can be a "decent" guy, but he's letting his lack of experience become a lead-in to poke at you, Kev. I don't take to that, and any inclination I had to edit my remarks are now gone.
I rode in your car, remember? It was an awesome-running ride. That was my only ride in your wheels when you had it that way, right before I hit D-Day and had to sell my ZX5.
I'm a "decent" guy (at times) and I'm not on here slagging Focus Is Art for the things I've fixed on my own with my car. You spin the wheel when you buy the car and you take your chances.
It's that simple. I did some work, I had a mechanic buddy do some work that I couldn't do, we sorted out some headaches and now it's running well.
Fix it or sell it and move on. The original point and tone of this thread stand: the kit is missing pieces in its current configuration, previous owner doesn't know much about modded cars - or modded Focuses at the very least. Buyer beware.
