October 2001 Edition
HYNESIGHT
The nit-picking pedantry of the SVA test and the ridiculous and farcical measures being taken with official approval to get cars through are in the firing line.
NEWS
The Sienna Countach is back on the scene, the Phantom GTR is ready to rock, new cars, new products and new services. If it's news, it's here.
CLUBS
Club Ed, lain Ayre, has had his silly hat on again this month to bring you his inimitable view of the kit car club scene.
THE HOLE STORY
Our man Steve finds an Aussie imposter, takes a look at the Tici, avoids testing a dodgy looking electrically operated jack and generally trawls the archives.
CLUB LIST
If you need to contact fellow kit owners, builders and enthusiasts, this is the page with the latest updated information.
DONE TO A T
The Shelsley 2T has been a tireless campaigner at this year's shows.
You've probably seen it in the flesh. Well, this tells you how it goes and it's been well worth the wait.
A GRAPHIC EXAMPLE
The Fisher Fury Spyder is part of the furniture of the kit car scene
and while the current emphasis is firmly on bike engined cars,
The
Zetec powered version remains a cracking good sports car.
CAR 54. WHERE ARE YOU?
Mark Purves is about to build his third Fisher Fury so his second one with Fireblade power is for sale.
This is one of the best furies we've ever seen and at £6,195 it's a snip.
DARE BRAINED SCHEMES
The Dare TG hasn't exactly burst onto the scene but don't let a shy introduction fool you.
This is a very well designed sports car that can mix it with the best of them.
UPHILL BATTLE
Under the Dare banner, the Ginetta G4 series 2 is once again
available in the UK while,
thanks to david Tearle's bike engined
G12 hill climber, this classic could also re-emerge.
RAW POWER
Raw Engineering now brings you a complete Toyota twin cam power pack. It revs to 8,500 and pulls like a train. Who needs bike power? We talk to three car builders who have turned Japanese.
PIPE DREAMS
We're back at Wunoff in Bradford for the final part of our stainless steel exhaust system construction.
This month it's time for the pretty bits.
V (12) BOMBER
The latest Foreman Mk4 demonstrator has to be the ultimate kit car; a superb replica of an all time,
universally acknowledged supercar with a Ferrari V12 engine. It's quite superb.
Q&A;
lain Ayre reviews his extensive experience of recalcitrant machinery in an effort to solve your mechanical problems. We hope he succeeds.
