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

BUILD • DRIVE • ENJOY


“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

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!




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.

of universally jointed Propshafts and Driveshafts, whether it is small

batch quantities for original equipment manufacturers, one off

specials, prototypes, repair or modifications we have the ability to

offer a product that is correct. Engineering improvements allow us

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.


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.
