South Australian AC Cobra manufacturer - ICCARS

The Chassis:-

With an ICCARS AC Cobra people will stop and look to ask "is it an original.." That is the sort of experience an ICCARS Cobra owner will be able to enjoy.
But more than that, the satisfaction of building an AC Cobra that resembles the originality of one, while you constructing it, that will be the real pleasure you will receive.

The Drive line:-

To date we have installed the late model Boss 260/290 motors, 351W & 302W into our kits, however we are not restricted to any particular motor and have been requested to look at installing motors such as the Lexus V8 package into our kits. There is no limitation with regards to our chassis as to what motor can be fitted, the limitation is the compliance of the motor itself.
Automatic or manual transmissions are all the same for us, we will build it to suit your preference and set it up with the engine to maximise the 48/52% weight distribution as per the original AC Cobras.

The Suspension:-

All ICCARS come standard with the Front suspension based on the RX7 Twin Turbo and the Rear suspension being a Nissan Skyline cradle set up with Viscous limited slip diff as standard.
Our suspension set up has been designed to incorporate the best handling possible and the balance and feedback from the Skyline/RX7 combination is sensational, being regarded as the best handling AC Cobras he has ever tested by our certifying engineer here in S.A.
Furthermore, we have incorporated features such as anti-dive, 2x Chassis length Ackermann intersecting angles (similar to F1 style set up) on the steering geometry, zero bump steer and between 9-11 degrees positive castor depending on your application i.e. Road or Race.
What does this all mean - well it means that you will get the sensation of driving a very predictable, precise and well mannered car, that is very safe and friendly to drive.
We also cater for a Live rear axle and 5 link system, should you wish to go that way in order to fit in those bigger tyres that you had in mind..

There is no age limit when it comes to building an AC Cobra replica..
Just ask my son who has been helping me with the AC Cobra and other projects from the age of 7 years old and he is now 14, I'm very lucky to have such great help.
Thanks mate for all of the time we spend together in the workshop building cars.

Just a few more snaps of ICC-003 (my favourite build so far)
Other than the suspension set up, braking system and wheels the rest of the parts were from a 2004 BA MKII xr8 and fitted by the owner into the car.

More parts prep'd and painted - body painted on KI by the local body shop guys, I think they did a great job.
