GETTING HOTTER

Bolstering its already comprehensive range of tyres for vehicles of all types and sizes, Toyo has announced the Celsius, a new all-season, all weather tyre that promises to bring peace of mind and added safety to owners.

While the capabilities and traits offered by specialised tyres are certainly deeply impressive, it’s worth taking the time to stop and consider just how amazing more general, all-season tyres actually are, particularly when you bear in mind the myriad different conditions they’re expected to deal with. Joining its already impressive range of all-season rubber, Toyo’s Celsius benefits from the firm’s years of expertise, and More >

AUSSIE ANTI-ROLL

Australian chassis specialists, SuperPro has released a versatile new range of fully adjustable anti-roll bar (ARB) links in varying lengths and fitments. This portfolio fits most tuner, road and race cars, offering owners and builders the chance to optimise the operation, efficiency and appearance of either OEM or uprated anti-roll bars.

This product solves several problems for tuners and enthusiasts.

TRIBUTE TO TRIBUTE – AND NUBODI

Alongside Stuart Mills at MEV, one of the most prolific kitcar designers around at the moment is Chris Welch of Tribute Automotive and he really doesn’t hang around when it comes to creating innovative, original and ‘inspired-by’ designs cleverly using donors that are affordable and suit the projects perfectly.

Not one of his current NINE models (eleven really if you include two soft-top derivatives of fixed-heads) should cost you more than £7000 to build including purchase of the donor car. That’s pretty amazing when you think about it.

Chris is a real character and has a superb and razor sharp sense of More >
