Here’s a way to extract some extra performance from the five-bearing ‘B’ Series 1800cc engine as used in the 1968-1980 MGB, without making any modifications to the engine’s internals.

A Fidanza lightweight flywheel can easily be installed when you replace the clutch and will bring the following benefits:

• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration • Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses) • Smoother, faster shifting • Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass) • Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation) • Cost savings and longevity (Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate means there’s no need More >

It’s often the little things that make the biggest difference to how a car drives, and rarely has this rung truer than when discussing MX5Parts’ range of aftermarket interior parts, and in particular their new leather clad gearknobs.

Based upon the firm’s already highly successful chrome gearknobs, the leather clad versions can be had in either red, black, light or dark tan, and will fit any MX5 with a manual transmission up to the Mk3.75 (1989-2015). Weighing in at a chuck-able 170gm, the leather gearknobs promise an improved gear shift experience, and therefore an improved driving experience overall.

Fitment is both simple More >

A perennial best-seller, Forge Motorsport has released details of its race-quality boost hose kit that will fit all Turbo variants of the iconic Subaru ‘’Bug Eye’ turbo. Engineered to Forge’s high-quality standards, the kit allows for a quick and easy fitment to the OEM fittings.

Thanks to being modelled directly from the OEM hoses, the new precision-engineered parts are an easy and direct replacement for the factory items, yet offer significantly greater ability to withstand much higher boost pressures and temperatures. Ideal on a standard car, but absolutely essential on a tuned, track or modified example. Allied to this, their woven fabric reinforcement means More >

For years Jaguar specialists have understood that the stock ignition system on the XK 3.8/4.2 E-type engines leaves much to be desired in terms of reliability and its lack of tuning potential. This has led many owners to consider fitting a fully-mappable, wasted spark ignition system but, while the ECU and harness is straightforward enough to source, finding the hardware has been problematic and costly as often the only solution has been to custom make the parts.

Webcon is therefore delighted to launch an ignition system hardware kit for the Jaguar XK engine, comprising everything you need including trigger disc kit, More >
