Yes, I did too Blake, it perfectly illustrates the differences - well done for summing it up Mario.
Doc Nik, I'll look forward to corresponding.
BTW the Empire Correction Kits are still available through me if anyone wants one. There is just one left of this batch, then there will be a wait until there are enough orders in hand for a new batch.

How much are you asking for the Empire kit.?
Good luck with the new morgan, i have had nearly every type of 4 wheeler over the last 30 years and the +4 in every form has always been in my opinion the best combination of power and handling,i wish i could be so enthusiastic about the 3 wheeler....anyone want to swap!!??

Welcome to the dark side Paul! You're safe here! The dark side ? I'd say more like the sunny side of the street. Shhh! You know that & I know that! Don't let the secret out!

Hi Paul
I could tell the writing was on the wall with some of your previous posts, but hey, if you're ever up near Leeds get in touch and you can take mine out for a nostalgic spin anytime.
I also thought about a +4 4 seater for much the same reasons as you have, namely SWIMBO and daughter. Couldn't find a late model one anywhere though well not in my price range, new ones are right out.
All the best and hope you have many happy miles in your new ride.

"How much are you asking for the Empire kit.?"
Hugo, the kit sells for £795, as the basic price, another £35 if the billet ali. brackets are wanted in anodised black, and if the track rod ends have to be hand made, to fit the very early 2012 short track rods, it is another £50.
Dab, I didn't realise my posts were quite so obvious? Thanks for the offer, I may make a special journey to Leeds to have a drive if I get withdrawal symptoms!
I was quite lucky with the 4 seater, in that it wasn't too far away, and, as you do, I thought I would just take a look, and see what it was like, and ended up thinking it wasn't a bad buy, and I saved some money over the cost of a new one, probably the first years depreciation. I wouldn't mind a 3.7 Roadster 4 seater though!

You could always strap a turbo on it.

"You could always strap a turbo on it."
Or substitute a 300bhp 2.5 Duratec or even a 3l V6 with twin turbos and 385bhp a la Noble, or, or, or.......
Hey, hang on, Mad Max is already doing all this, no need to repeat it!

Sorry to read that Paul, but good luck in your new world of the extra wheel...... Thanks again for your pioneering work with the Empire Kit - truely transformative I think! And I was just about to mail you about exciting developments on the absorption type silencer front too ! Will update everyone soon though, once I have the OK from the folks putting the kit together.
