Kit Car Sites

[Tony Harman]

Toying with the idea of putting together a kit car for the road. Can anyone recommend any decent web sites ? other than the manufacturers.
I like the look and spec of the Fisher Fury, not too keen on the 7 clones. Anyone ever built a kit of any sort (cars that is !) ? if so how long did it take in real terms.

take a look at my site.
http://www.teamhobbit.com

for an example of two types of kit cars.
think i have a few links too.

try this toooo.

Hi THR - thanks for the link - looks like what I'm after - reasonably unbiased opinion, will try to spend a bit of time going through it.
Ref to your new mount - the FRenault - 150bhp and only 130mph !, seems a bit on the slow side ??, my classic FF1600 has about 103bhp and will do 135 on thruxton gearing.
1700 all steel ford crossflows develop about 170 and top 150mph. What are they doing in the formula to restrict the speed ?
Will contact you about diffs too on a pm

glad u liked it.
its a pretty good site for kit cars that site.

well 130 is what we have been told they do at a circuit such as silverstone. FR have a air restrictor but we will dump that.

perhaps it will go faster! havent been testing yet.

drop us an email yea about the diffs.

Tony,

Do you know anyone with some very early classic formula ford hewland gearbox parts,I was told they aere compatible with the volkswagen box. I know the later ones arent.Alternatively do you know where there is a hewland 7/31 diff or a mk9 I need it for my imp.
