SURGING AHEAD

The latest Aeroflow surge tank with twin fuel pumps is capable of handling surge free fuel for high performance 1000+ BHP vehicles.

SPRAY AND SHINE
Aug 2nd
A ridiculously effective car care product that I’ve been using with success lately is Ultimate Fast Finish from Meguiar’s.
It’s an aerosol formula that you simply spray on to your car’s bodywork, wipe off and watch the surface shine. I can do a car with it in about eight minutes, it’s that simple and easy to use.
In addition to a cool shine, the surface will be more resistant to dirt thanks to the synthetic polymer coating and the water-beading ability is insane after use. It’s available from between £16 to £20 and the box also includes a quality microfibre cloth. One More >

CONTACT MADE
Aug 2nd
Amazingly, in this digital age, there are still some classic Mini owners who are still using contact breaker ignition, possibly for reasons of originality. Now Mini Spares can offer a ‘Fixed Point’ electronic ignition conversion that it fits entirely inside the stock distributor cap!
All previous ignition kits utilised an external black box, not the sort of thing you want under the bonnet of your standard-looking engine compartment!
