NO SURGES HERE

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

The 2.5-litre spun alloy Surge Tank Kit has an anodised black finish that will resist corrosive fuels such as alcohol, ethanol (E85) and methanol. The surge tank kit comes with all the necessary adapters to connect the two Bosch fuel pumps (0580254044) to the dual bottom outlets on the tank.

Both pumps are held in a dual EFi aluminium fuel pump bracket that comes with rubber inserts that surround the pumps and dampen any vibrations.

Two CNC-machined EFi fuel pump check valves come More >

“AFTER ALL, YOU’RE MY WONDERWHEEL, ER, WALL

Among the various sub-brands under the Car Plan banner is the Wonder Wheels range and a more recent addition to the line-up is Colour Active Wheel Cleaner.

It’s an acid-free product that is suitable for all wheel types including those that are rather sensitive requiring special attention.

I used it on some very dirty wheels and it managed to remove the caked-on mud and baked-on brake dust and didn’t require any manual input. The advanced cleaning process occurs with the aid of an active indicator, which turns the wheel red as it reacts with and dissolves the crud.

Best results occur if you More >

AIM AND FIRE

 

I’ve been seeing a lot of AIM Technologies products lately and their MXL Strada digital dash-pod is being fitted to all sorts of kitcars. Right price; right product seems to be the message.

News this week of a new addition to their range in the shape of their MXS STRADA and it comes with a 5in colour display, high contrast TFT screen, an ambient light-sensor to keep the unit’s backlight at optimal brightness levels and stunning visual quality.

AIM has also tried to make installation as simple as possible. One of the fastest growing and newest clichés is ‘plug and play’ but More >

WAX ON; WAX OFF WITH WO-WO

This is probably the product that put Wo-Wo on the map. Their solvent-free wheel cleaner.

What a great name ‘Wo-Wo’ is and it refers to the detailer’s favourite ‘wax-on-wax-off’ expression. They are a really cool company who don’t make a massive amount of different products but what they do make are sought after by those that know.

Take their wheel cleaner. The 500ml bottle has a quality trigger mechanism (I hate duff ‘triggers’) and you generously cover the wheel and allow the product to dwell on the surface. For best results use a specialist wheel brush to help agitate road grime and More >

ENHANCE GLOSS WITH THIS

ODK Waxes produce great car care products and offer further proof that the Americans and Germans aren’t necessarily the ‘bosses of gloss.’

There are a growing number of top-drawer UK producers though and ODK is one of them. Exhibit Gloss Enhancer really impressed me and when used as a quick detailer it went on easily and came off fast but also left a dazzling amount of gloss on my car’s bodywork.

It’s superb as a quick detail product say when at a show or you can use it as a ‘topper’ to your existing regime. It really is impressive, oh and it More >

HELTER ‘SHELTER’

The bright white interiors provide optimum light inside the garage for excellent storage More >

A BUNDLE OF FUN

Lots of kitcar folk like to do a bit of camping. Things just got a bit easier when it comes to a good night’s sleep while out under the stars. Thanks to the marvellously-named Bundle Bed, I reckon you can chuck that irritating old air-bed and seen-better-days sleeping bag into the nearest skip.

The makers, James Clark and Lucy Bartlett, who run Bundle Beds, claim that they have the future of sleeping outdoors and a decent night’s sleep, all wrapped up in their little bundle.

It is a fully self-contained proper bed, complete with a slim, self-inflating (wa-hey!) mattress, built-in cosy duvet More >

THE STEERING COMMITTEE

It might well be tempting fate, but let’s hope that we’ve now (finally) left the worst of the winter weather behind us, which is all the encouragement the good folk over at Mountney need in order to begin looking forward to the looming show season.

Putting their money where their collective mouth is, Mountney has unveiled an expanded range of 12in and 13in, vinyl- or leather-rimmed steering wheels, all manufactured to the same exacting standards that the company has long been known for.

Spring is perhaps the most eagerly anticipated season of them all, particularly given how brutal the 2017/2018 winter was, More >
