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.

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
