Re: [Quantum Owners] Another screen bites the dust...
Doug, I know how you feel. Mine went on the way to Stoneleigh so am now on my third after 3500 miles. I was lucky that Mark Burley had taken a screen to the show and very kindly offered to deliver it to me on his way home, saving me the carriage cost and the risk! I have also purchased the lower extrusion for the screen with the hope of an improved fit. Hope your screen arrives safely.

I made sure there was no point loading or bending on the screen caused by the upper and lower frames last time I fitted a new screen about a year ago, so I've no real idea why it broke again. Anyway, just ordered a new one from Quantum, and while they've only got the standard ones at the moment, albeit now at over £30 more than they were before, the next set they have ordered will be thicker. How much I don't know, but hopefully thicker screens will be stronger. Add postage at £40 to the £80 for the screen, and vat on top of that, and it's now getting pretty expensive.

The truth is that a Mk2 without MoT is going to have to be pretty special to make more than £300 - 400, and a 2+2 £600 - 700. With MoT and tax, you could say the same cars would be £700 - 800 and £1000 -1500. I've bought three and sold one in the last year. (Don't ask..!) The above are governed, largely, by the alternatives on the wider market. Mx5s, MGFs, MR2s, XR2s, etc. etc. and the number of people with a non-runner kit car in the garage that they have lost interest in. Often that they bought second hand and didn't build. Now, the problem for most of us is that, having spent hours and money on our cars, their open market value is such that we won't get it back if we sell them. Which is why most of the best cars aren't for sale. I guess that's a fact of life. But it leaves the problem that, if your car gets written off, the only way to replace it is to buy a less special one and do lots of work to it to get it to the same standard. Which is why we need agreed value insurance. to cover the work involved. And particularly if it's someone else's fault - when you would be really annoyed to be offered the sort of money above for your immaculate 2+2 turbo 4wd nitrous injection with electric hood, kangaroo leather interior

RE: [Quantum Owners] Re: Yipee Yahoo Hallelujah
Hi I recall that when my appointment confirmation arrived for the registration inspection for my Xtreme it stated in bold capitals 'IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN TO THE INSPECTION CENTRE YOUR VEHICLE WILL NOT BE INSPECTED' Botley near Southampton. Just seesm ridiculous that you can drive to the IVA (SVA at the time)where they verify the build quality and safety criteria (and even drive home again with a list of failures) but once that is proven to be acceptable you have to trailer it for DVLA inspection.

[Quantum Owners] Re: New Xtreme Owner- again
Hi Ian, Good to have you back. Forgive me stating the obvious but I assume you'll need IVA and I'm not sure of the implications that brings. 1. I wouldn't imagine indicators have to be self cancelling. Bike engined kits often use the handle bar controls from the bike and they are not self cancelling. I would think it would be safer to have it though. There should be a small notched collar that slides over the steering column. It is this that strikes the tab on the indicator switch to cancel the action as the steering wheel is turned. 2. I'm sure there were some previous posts regarding the brake hose length on the front of the Xtreme. 3. ??? 4. Can't help with this one either. Still running the standard down draught carb. If you need anything, just let me know.

I was looking for a prebuilt example this time so that I could use it quickly and save the hassle of SVA, etc and it wasn't going to be another Xtreme or yellow or a pinto engine...but... when I looked on e-bay and found a yellow Xtreme virtually ready for SVA with a bid closing at 6pm that night, and it is in Bristol about 6 miles away from where I live, it seemed it was inevitable that I would once again be a Quantum owner. So, I now have an Xtreme in the garage needing, hopefully, minor works to get it ready for SVA. I have only just started looking at it and a couple of questions have come to light and I was hoping for some advice re SVA requirements:- 1. Do the indicators need to be self cancelling? mine do not for some reason. if needed can anyone advise how to get woring again 2. Front flexible brake hoses: off side is stretched tight on full lock one way but near side looks fine the other way. Can anyone assist with any ideas why this would be? Hoses are not twisted. 3. This chassis is older than my previous Xtreme and I was looking for a chassis stamp but could not find one: any ideas where to look, or did older Xtremes not have chassis numbers stamped on them? 4. This car has a pinto engine with twin webber carbs that need tuning as they only tick over and if you increase revs they just sputter. How easy is it to balance and set up the carbs or would I be better getting someone in to do hte work. If so, any idea how much this costs? Thanks for your assistance.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Passed!
Well Done Phil, I remember the relief of obtaining a MAC very well. Good luck with your registration and bring on the sunshine! Craig _ From: quantumowners@googlegroups.com [mailto:quantumown...@googlegroups.com] On Behalf Of Philip Marsden Sent: 12 January 2009 15:51 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] Passed! After 4 long years, two new windscreens, removing the engine twice, rebuilding the back and front ends twice, blood, sweat and countless cups of tea, I have finally got my SVA done! Thanks to Paul at Quantum and everyone on the group for their help. If you need a vehicle transporter and you are in the north then I can recommend highly Shane Copnall at Yorkshire Vehicle Movements (07525 900034) who took me over to Manchester today. Couple of things. Braided hoses DO need to be 2 inches longer like they are on the tigers. Earls are a good supplier (hint) rather than Goodridge. To get the car to self centre then pump the tyres up to 45 psi and grease everything! Fit the brake balancer as this does effect the brake loading even with new discs and Green stuff pads at the front. And best advice DONT TAKE YOUR CAR TO BRISTOL VOSA. Also latest rumours about the IVA is April 30th and £450. Nothing confirmed offically by VOSA at the moment though. Thanks. Phil. _ Are you a PC?

[Quantum Owners] Re: Xtreme Handbrake Cable
Steve, It's the Seirra one modified. I think it explains how in the manual. I can dig it out if you need. QSC do sell modified ones with proper nipples on the ends. Don't know how easy it will be without removing diff. Not very easy on your back underneath the car! May be easier if you can get it up in the air. Cheers Craig -Original Message- From: quantumowners@googlegroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Kodz Sent: 09 November 2008 19:53 To: quantumowners@googlegroups.com Subject: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme Handbrake Cable So something has gone ping and now the handbrake isn't working. I've taken a brief look underneath and there's a piece of plastic that looks like it should be attached to something, so I will probably need to replace it. Firstly is it possible to do this without removing the diff? What cable is used - looking at the distances it's not a Sierra one.
