A GREAT ONE FOR KITCAR DRIVERS; NOT JUST SCOOBY OWNERS

The constant, frenetic pace of technological change can sometimes be exhausting, and it’s all too easy for it to pass us by. In fact, so seamless is the constant technological march that it often takes the launch of a specific, industry-defining product to make you stop and take stock, and Sunnycam Xtreme Video Recording Sunglasses are a case in point.

A product recently added to Subaru UK’s ever-expanding portfolio of officially-approved and sanctioned accessories, the Sunnycam Xtreme is precisely the kind of product that would have had previous generations scratching their chins and furrowing their brow in amazement, mainly as they More >

NEW CHOKE OVERHAUL KIT FOR YOUR WEBER

Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS carburettors are used on millions of cars worldwide and combine the reliability and power of Weber with the convenience of a water-operated automatic choke.

Over time the efficiency of the bi-metallic unit can deteriorate leading to poor starting and choke performance whilst the housing can corrode if the engine’s antifreeze and corrosion inhibitor have not been correctly maintained.

Now the choke units on these popular carburettors can be overhauled by using the new Webcon overhaul kit.

The package contains 100 per cent genuine Weber parts including a bi-metallic unit, a die-cast water jacket and all the ancillary parts More >

AFFORDABLE INSTRUMENTS

New from Rally Design and joining their existing range of value for money instruments are the matching 80mm stepper tacho (0-10,000rpm) and speedo (0-170mph) and both are now in stock, to complete the range with their 60mm stepper info gauges.

CRIKEY, I’M SURE THERE’S A POLAR BLAST

Autoglym has made car washing even more fun – as well as much easier – with the release of its superior Snow Foam – Polar Blast, applied through a jet-wash lance. As the perfect precursor to a wash routine, it reduces the risk of scratches and swirls by covering the vehicle in a spectacular rich blanket of foam that clings to paintwork to gently loosen and lift dirt and heavy soiling prior to shampooing. Best of all, if your car is only lightly dirty, Polar Blast can replace the shampoo stage altogether!

Developed in Autoglym’s industry-leading labs, Polar Blast produces an More >

FITECH AT THE SUMMIT

First came the FiTech Go Street 400HP. Then the FiTech Mean Street 800HP upped the ante. For those who think something inbetween would be just right, Summit Racing now offers the FiTech Easy Street 600HP system.

Like all FiTech EFI systems, the Easy Street is a self-learning, plug and play system designed to fit on most any four-barrel carb-ed intake manifold. That makes it perfect for upgrading such motors. The ECU is mounted directly to the throttle body for simplified wiring and easy installation, and the 70 lb.-hr. flow-matched fuel injectors can support up to 600bhp.

The FiTech Easy Street system is More >

RING AUTOMOTIVE WILL KEEP YOU INFLATED

Recent research into the maintenance of car tyres by British drivers suggests that 40 per cent of cars have dangerously uninflated tyres. The research, from Kwik Fit, showed that British drivers are risking their safety by driving on poorly maintained tyres. Underinflated tyres also make driving less efficient, meaning that it is costing drivers at the fuel pump as well.

To help, Ring, the vehicle lighting and car accessory specialist, has a complete range of tyre care devices that can help drivers to stay safe and save money.

MINI SPARES TAKE THE PRESSURE OFF

A sudden loss of oil pressure can destroy an engine in seconds. The standard 7lb oil pressure switch fitted to classic Minis often gives the warning too late to save the engine.

The oil pressure switch can be ordered as part number HPS1 at just £18.60 inc VAT, which seems like a small price to pay to protect your engine.
