IT’S EASY TO assume that every CKC reader is a regular... familiar with the kit carscene, heads to the Stoneleigh show every year and can tell the difference between aWestfield and Tiger at twenty paces. This is all well and good, and providing you kit cardiehards with entertaining and informative new material every month is a core part ofwhat we do.
But the industry will go nowhere (indeed, it will only slowly decline) if we cannotalso appeal to the newcomer with equal enthusiasm and focus. If you’re reading thesepages for the first time and have no idea what I’m talking about when I mentionStoneleigh and telling the difference between and Westfield and a big cat then, as theheadline suggests... a very warm welcome to you. Over the coming months we’ll berunning a series of introductoryfeatures and guides on differentaspects of kit car ownership, frompractical hands-on guides to usingbasic workshop tools, to tackling akit car build for the first time,dealing with the legalities of gettinga car on the road and much more.
One thing is for sure, if you arenew to the scene, you’ve come tothe right place. We’ve no doubtthat as you discover more aboutthis great hobby you’ll be amazed by itsdiversity, enthralled by the possibilities and eventually take theplunge and either buy a pre-owned kit car or build a car from scratch.
And for the old hands out there, CKC is going into overdrive in 2010. We’ll be puttingyet more cars through our gritty road tests, getting first dibbs on the brand new carscoming to the market, investigating the most adventurous home builds and keeping aneye on the more obscure oddities, as well as the mainstream favourites.
On the technical front, the CKC Workshop section of the mag will be ultra busy this year. Expect more down to earth builds coming your way, lots of hands-on practical advice from Technical Editor John Dickens, and all manner of long-termprojects to follow.
And on the lighter side of things, Wilkins and I have a number of more alternativeprojects to undertake. There’s unfinished business with our £500 Challenge cars forstarters (yes, they’ve not gone away) and we’ll continue to get involved with the clubs,have fun at the shows and generally try to get the most from a massively friendlyscene. And then there are competitions such as the amazing £1100 wheel/tyre comboin this issue. Expect more fab prizes in the future, along with more of the greatgiveaways we’ve done in recent months.
So welcome to both newcomers and our regulars.The kit car scene has something to offer everyone.And the more effort you put in, the more you’ll getout. Build, drive, enjoy.

IMPRESSIONS DNA 3Sixty and 4Thirty
Which to choose? A Ferrari 360 or 430 replica? Surely one oflife’s more enjoyable decisions? CKC editor, Ian Stent, asks thequestion while examining examples of both with DNA Automotive.
To view the rest of this article, purchasethe January 2010 edition by going to:www.completekitcar.co.uk/Issue/latestissue.html

“The quality of the panelfit and paintjob areexceptional and both playa big part in the overalldeception. It looks toogood to be a replica!
honest, while longevity is good news
within the mainstream kit car arena, it’s
particularly encouraging within the world
of exotic bodykits... a scene which has
had more than its fair share of companies
come and go over the last few years.
Unusually, DNA has also appeared
happy to show off its kit car credentials.
It’s the only such company I can
remember to display a kit of body panels
at a kit car show (Donington 2007) and
more recently has been happy to have it’s
nitty, gritty build DVD playing at the Exeter
show in 2009. These may not seem like
significant events, but they’re an overt
display of confidence by a company that’s
happy for its base product to come under
close public scrutiny.
I was impressed by the panels back
in 2007... and I’m again impressed on
SOME DECISIONS IN life are easy and
some are hard. And some of the hard
decisions can be unpleasant while others
may well be enjoyable. Regardless of how
hard the decision may be, there can be
little doubt that choosing between a
Ferrari 360 or 430 replica has to be an
enjoyable process.
And the process is made all the more
easy (or tricky, depending on your
perspective on these things) with a visit to
DNA Automotive, a purveyor of replicas
for both models.
DNA has been on the scene since
2006 when it first launched its cunningly
named 3Sixty. It has been marketing,
promoting and selling its products ever
since and, as such, is one of the longest
established manufacturers within this
niche of the kit car scene. And let’s be
this most recent visit to the company’s
workshops in North Birmingham. This
time there are two complete bodykits
awaiting collection. They’re not sat here
for my benefit, but when I suggest we lay
them outside to get a photograph, closer
inspection once again reveals quality
mouldings. Not only are the surface
finish and return edges good, but the
back of the panels are flow-coated in
black by the company DNA uses to
make them. For starters, it means that
any panel inners that remain visible in
the finished car are already black, rather
than bare fibreglass. And the flow-
coating also helps to seal the fibreglass
and add additional protection from stone
chips hitting the panels from the
underside. It’s a nice touch.
And there are other features of the kit
Latest DNA 4Thirty

convincing.

When supplying an engine it
has to meet the standard
we'd chose to fit to our own
race bikes and cars.
All of our engines are under
7,000 miles, the majority are
closer to 4,000. When we
receive an engine it is fully
tested to make sure it runs as it should.
We can supply them with sump baffles, as a bare
engine or a complete kit.
We specialise in supplying Hayabusa Engines
and have a good working relationship with
holeshot racing and many other engine builders.
We courier the engine using TNT and can arrange
delivery to any address of your choice.
We offer a realistic warranty with all of our engines.
We take pride in the quality of the kits we provide ....

FIRST DRIVE Furore F1
The Toyota MR2 based Furore combines F1 styleappearance with two-seat practicality. Adam Wilkins doeshis best Lewis Hamilton impersonation...
THE IMPREZA DRIVER heading the other
way flashes his headlights and gives a
bold thumbs-up out of his window. Two
lads in a roadside car park give a wave so
enthusiastically it looks not unlike the
flailing-arm emergency signal from Team
America. Everywhere it goes, the
apparently aptly named Furore causes a
big stir. It’s certainly brightening up a
cloudy day in Essex and passers-by are in
no doubt that what they’re looking at is a
racing car to which someone has
attached numberplates and headlights.
Except it’s not. The Furore is a kit car
that takes its entire mechanical package
from nothing more exotic than an often
rusty Mk1 Toyota MR2 and it can be built
at home for under £10,000. Just don’t tell
the residents of Benfleet that – it’d shatter
the illusion for them!
Russ Bost is the man behind the
Furore project – although he never
intended it to become a production kit. A
long while ago when he ran an
independent garage, he was discussing
what the kit car market has to offer with
his business partner. There was nothing
that he fancied building and he wondered
why nobody had designed a Formula One
style kit car. He first had the idea before
Nigel Mansell was world champion, but it
wasn’t until 2001 that he was able to do
anything about it. By then, he’d sold his
share of the garage business and was
looking for something to fill his newly
found spare time.
Building an existing kit car would have
been the simplest route to occupying him,
but when he looked around at what was
on offer there was still nothing that fired
his imagination. He was also turned off by
Furore looks
completely out of place
in a high street
environment. No wonder
it turns so many heads!

FEBRUARY 2010 www.completekitcar.co.uk 79
the industry’s apparent preoccupation with sevenesque roadsters
and Cobra replicas – so he decided to build that F1 inspired car
he’d envisaged over a decade earlier.
That first car (which is currently on sale at Total Headturners)
bares no relation to subsequent kits, being a complete one-off.
It’s based on a Formula Ford chassis which has been lengthened
to give (just enough) space for a tandem seat. It has also been
fitted with two Kawasaki ZX10 engines, each producing 137bhp
and driving one rear wheel. Naturally, it generated its fair share of
publicity which led to enquiries from others wanting to build
Furores of their own.
Once enough interest had been expressed to justify
productionising the Furore concept as a kit, its specification
changed dramatically. It would need a dedicated body and
chassis of its own, as well as an engine and drivetrain package
that involved less specialist engineering and was easier to live
with than the twin bike engined arrangement of Russ’s own car. It
would also need more interior space than the first car, which had
been built specifically around himself at 5ft 6in.
The readily available Ford Mondeo was considered as a donor
but quickly dismissed in favour of a mid-engined configuration.
Opting for the latter would make the build more straightforward in
a number of ways, since everything would be oriented for a mid-
engined car. For instance, it could retain the standard
gearchange, and there would be no need to disable the steering
(as you would when transplanting a front engine to a mid-engine
configuration). In the end, the Mk1 Toyota MR2 was chosen
since they have a propensity to rust structurally but leave behind
decent mechanicals. You may think, as we did, that the original
MR2 is becoming a little scarce, but the six Furore builders so far
have had no difficulty in sourcing donor vehicles. At the time of
writing, there are four on eBay for under £600.

Propshaft manufactured or modified. With an item weighing
anything from 5-25kg spinning at speeds of up to 10,000 r.p.m.
just inches away from the drivers thighs protected only by the
vehicles bodywork you need to be sure that the “Specialist” is the
best available.

ROAD TEST AK 427
AK Sportscars’ latest demonstrator featurespower steering and brand new LS3 power. Is it in danger of losing the raw appeal of the car that inspired it? CKC puts it through our stringent road test.
FEBRUARY 2010 www.completekitcar.co.uk 85
THE COMPANYAK Sportscars was launched in 1990 by
Alan Frew and Ken Freeman (hence
AK), but it was Ken who soon took on
the operation entirely and gradually
grew the company into one of the UK’s
main players in the kit car scene. AK
has always been a family run company,
with sons Dan and Jon both involved
over the years, along with Ken’s wife
Lynda. But 2010 sees a significant
change at the helm, with Jon and his
wife Wendi taking on the daily running
of the business as Ken and Lynda retire.
Jon takes over a company that’s in
rude health. AK has weathered the
storm of the recession spectacularly and
ends 2009 with almost six months of
advance orders.
AK produces around 30 kits every
year, along with three to four full builds.
The company operates from a modern
5800sq ft factory unit, with six employees
(including Jon and Wendi).
AK produces almost everything in
house, not only making all its own chassis
and bodies, but also all stainless and
aluminium fabrications (exhausts etc), all
interior trim and even wiring looms.
MODEL BACKGROUNDLaunched in 1990, the AK 427 has not
tried to re-write the rulebook when it
comes to Cobra replicas. A Jaguar XJ6
based product, the AK uses a sturdy
ladder chassis mated to a fibreglass
bodyshell, with was revamped a few
years ago to update some of the styling
details. It features an integral tub for the
cockpit and also the boot area, as well
as having pre-bonded in inner
wheelarches.
For all its conformity, AK has been
happy to embrace modern features, such
as power steering and, most recently, the
car has been redesigned to accept more
modern Jaguar XJ40 based suspension
components (an option over the XJ6
based kit).
THE TEST CARThis is a brand new demonstrator,
running the company’s latest XJ40
suspension package, power steering and
a brand new Chevrolet Corvette LS3
engine developing 430bhp in standard
tune. There is, however, nothing on the
car that is beyond the basic package. The
interior is the company’s standard leather
trim, while externally the only additions
are the small winglets at the front. AK
estimates that to privately build a car to
this standard would cost around £27,000.
DESIGN, ENGINEERING &SAFETY 7/10Essentially a ladderframe chassis, the
AK benefits from an additional
backbone structure which stretches the
length of the centre tunnel but, rather
oddly, does not go further forward
around the transmission tunnel. While a
Jaguar XJ6 based car has been the
mainstay of the range up until recently,
the increasing rarity of donor
components has meant a new Jaguar
XJ40 based car has been developed.
This means AK’s own top and bottom
wishbones up front, utilising the XJ40
stub axle, with a modified steering arm.
At the back, a substantial fabricated
lower wishbone is used with shortened
XJ40 driveshaft and hub carrier.
Significantly, this brings the rear brakes
to a conventional outboard location, in
place of the XJ6’s inboard package.
The AK bodyshell is a one-piece item,
as per all Cobra replica bodies, but with a
bonded in main inner and boot tub. A
substantial scuttle hoop and lower outer
chassis frame offer a degree of side
impact protection.
