Previous owners, Gary Sanders and Peter Walker, are continuing to provide all the help needed during the transition period as the company takes benefit from its massive new investment and gears up to meet unfulfilled customer demand.

SIZE ISN’T EVERYTHING!
Dec 13th
You know how it is. You’ve got a small fastener that’s got a high-torque requirement, so you need a stronger driver than the standard ¼in. A 3/8in drive ratchet will fit the bill but you’ve only got a ¼in drive socket in the correct size. Now you’re sure you’ve got an adaptor somewhere? But where is it?
This new socket and bit adaptor set from Laser Tools (part number 7167) supplies a comprehensive selection of the most-used adaptors presented in a machine-cut foam tray that fits neatly in the tool tray. You’ll never have to search for the correct adaptor again.

PRECISION DAMPING FOR MX-5-BASED KITCAR OWNERS
Dec 13th
Moss Europe has announced that it can now offer MeisterR coil-over dampers for the Mazda MX-5 (Miata).
MeisterR coilovers are one of the biggest names in aftermarket coil-overs for the MX-5. They combine build quality, good looks, and excellent performance, all at a sensible price.
There are two versions of MeisterR coil-overs: ZetaCRD and ClubRace. The former are designed for fast road use and use a softer spring and lower damping rates than the ClubRace, but perform very well on the road and are still capable of the occasional trackday.
The ClubRace, meanwhile, are designed to maximise performance with high grip trackday tyres More >
GOLD CLASS
Dec 13th
A standard Mini coil-pack can only do so much. When the compression is raised (as in most high-performance engines) or non-standard fuel mixtures are used the coil’s performance is challenged so something better is needed.
The Mini Spares Gold Performance Coil is totally different to the usual Lucas type and is generally acclaimed as being the best on the market.
It represents a massive improvement over the standard coil and yet is a direct replacement upgrade. It must be noted though that it can only be used on non-ballast type Minis manufactured up to 1982.
The internal components of this coil are completely More >

MANIFOLD REASONS WHY …
Dec 7th
Webcon has announced the introduction of a range of manifold spacer sets.
It is widely understood that increasing intake length can have a beneficial effect on performance. Up until now, the only way to achieve this has been to fit different length intake manifolds, when available. However, now the new Webcon spacers allow the existing intake manifold to quickly and easily be extended with the minimum of disruption to the tuning process.
Superbly CNC manufactured in the UK from billet aluminium, the new spacers add 32mm to the length of any 45DCOE manifold and are supplied in kit form with studs, nuts, More >
