THIS INJECTION WON’T HURT
Oct 20th
If you’ve been waiting to pull the trigger on electronic fuel injection, your wait could be over. Summit Racing’s MAX-efi 500 Fuel Injection System makes converting from a carburettor to EFI virtually a no-brainer. The MAX-efi 500 features a four-injector aluminium throttle body that bolts to most four-barrel carburettor intake manifolds, and uses the factory-style throttle linkage.

Oct 12th
Another new product from Mills Extreme Vehicles, well actually a really tasteful update on their hugely-successful Exocet theme.
Meet the Exocet G-Type. The ‘G’ bit stands for ‘geometric styling’, which has definitely given a more aggressive stance and general look to the kit, which has now tipped over the milestone of 1000 kit sales, incidentally.
The Exocet G-Type will make its debut on the company’s stand at the NEC Classic Motor Show on November 10-12.
