BUY A CATERHAM SEVEN KIT ON CHUCKIE!
Dec 3rd
Caterham Seven kits now available on finance
Caterham Cars has launched a new, approved finance scheme, which, for the first time ever offers customers the chance to fund a Seven in self-assembly form. Potentially a very important move.
Previously only available for new fully built and pre-owned Sevens, the new Caterham finance scheme provides an accessible ownership proposition for fans of the Seven wishing to build a car themselves.
Extending the service to customers who purchase a Seven in component form means they will benefit from the same convenient finance facility as buyers of new factory built and pre-owned vehicles from Caterham’s approved More >

BUMPSTICKS FROM KENT
Dec 3rd
Just when you thought that virtually every modification to the Ford Cosworth BDA race engine possible had been done, Kent Cams has come up with not one, but two new profiles.
Coming up with an improved modification for this well-tried engine wasn’t easy and it involved some engineering trickery as well as radical thinking. Most performance camshafts involve increasing the lift by making the lobes bigger, but there comes a point when the lobes would be too big to go through the bearing housings and the camshaft would not be able to be installed.
Kent has taken a new approach to the More >

Burton Power now offer classic racing style Bullet Mirrors made from stainless steel with wide angle convex glass.
The mirrors replicate those used widely in the sixties and seventies but they won’t rust the way that the original chrome-plated versions did and despite the small mirror size – by modern standards – they will give a good view of the road behind thanks to the convex mirror.
Burton Bullet Racing Style Mirror: stainless steel convex glass can be ordered as part number: REVCR1C at £24.95 each inc VAT.

HELP YOUR B-SERIES ENGINE
Dec 3rd
The Oil Pump Drive on the MGB can be a source of problems, particularly on highly tuned race engines that are running aftermarket cams.
The tolerances on the original one-piece drive varied considerably; which means that the drive that an aftermarket cam was designed to match might not be the same as the drive in another MGB engine.
This mis-match causes excessive wear on both the drive gear and the gear on the cam and this can quickly reduce an expensive race camshaft to scrap. In certain cases this has even happened on the dyno before the new engine was even fitted More >
CLEVER KIT FROM WEBCON
Dec 3rd
For years, Weber 55DCO/SP carburettors have only been available as LH and RH units, with the outer throttle shaft ends blanked-off. This works well with a conventional distributor ignition system but, as mapped ignition systems have become more widely used, thus the demand for a throttle position sensor fitment on the 55DCO/SP has grown. In response to this demand Webcon has developed a new, Unified 55DCO/SP that features throttle shaft at both ends of the carburettor and allows for fitment of a Webcon DCO/SP throttle position sensor kit. Part number 1970000700 can be used for LH or RH fitment, and More >

ZENOS SAY ‘R’…
Nov 26th
The brand new rangetopping Zenos E10 the ‘R’ has been announced this week featuring a new powerplant – the Ford-sourced turbocharged 2.3-litre EcoBoost engine, which uses a bespoke ECU developed with Zenos’ partner Specialist Components to deliver 40 per cent more power (350bhp) and 19 per cent more torque (349lb/ft). Thanks to a power-to-weight figure of 500 bhp/tonne, the Zenos E10 R delivers very pleasing performance.
The engine’s responsiveness is further heightened by a lightened flywheel assembly and newly-developed three-inch diameter exhaust system. The latter also delivers a purposeful exhaust note, which leaves no uncertainty about the elevated levels of performance More >
