John
Thanks for bringing that point into focus.
For those of you that have stated negative opinions in this thread, I would like to ask a few questions and I will add answers that I think are fair.
Q. Is Johnex perfect? A. No
Q. Does Johnex offer a quality product? A. Yes
Q. Did some of you have problems that have not been addressed to you satisfaction? A. It sure appears so.
Q. Except for Rodney, have you given us an objective statement of what your problems really were? A. Not in my opinion.
Q. Have you told us who you are and/or where you live? A. No, except that doccobra did mention later that he lives in Toronto.
Q. Have you contributed to this site before? A. Except for Rodney, No
Q. Is the Johnex car sub-standard? A. Not in my humble opinion.
Q. Are you stating your objections fairly? A. No
What I am trying to point out is that while you may have some legitimate complaints, it is somewhat difficult for other members to understand where you are coming from when you sign up as a new member than immediately begin to fire off inflammatory remarks.
Earlier in this thread, I clearly stated that I had a couple of minor problems with some parts that were supplied by Johnex and I also stated what was done by John to take care of my difficulties.

There is one thing that I cannot understand. You insinuate that the Johnex is a difficult car to assemble since you stated that you helped several people to figure out how to put their cars together. I am not a mechanic but while I have played with cars much of my adult life, this was the very first car I have ever built. I really didn't have any problems assembling the car with the exception of where to place the lower rad bracket since John had forgotten to give me that diagram. I quick call resulted in a fax copy of the required drawing and I was off again. I did have quite a few questions during the build process (which I believe to be normal for a first time builder) but every question was answered to my full satisfaction even when I called on a Saturday (once). I began to work on the car in the late fall of '99 and it was ready for paint in the spring of 2000. I spent many long Saturdays and Sundays working on this car but it was done in 4 or 5 months of spare time.
Just one final point, the company is Johnex, not Johnexx.
