NEW PRODUCTS FROM JENVEY

Jenvey Dynamics Ltd has introduced two innovative new product ranges, unveiled at last weekend’s Autosport International show.

TU45, an enhanced version of Jenvey’s most popular throttle bodies, is the first release from the new ‘Ultra-Light’ range, which benefits from a 43 per cent weight reduction compared to the original TB45. The company has also unveiled its new bespoke profiled butterfly valve intake system, which is port-matched to the customer’s specific engine and feature a profiled throttle plate that significantly improves air flow and engine performance.

CLEAN INSIDE

Cleaning and proofing the interior plastic and wood surfaces of your car can do a lot to improve the overall look of the interior of it. Dirty, grubby fascias will make a vehicle look old and tired. We look at the dashboard more than any other area in the car, so it makes sense then that we should give it some special attention.

Renovo Interior Ultra Proofer is very simple to apply and the new and unique formulation not only cleans and proofs; it protects with advanced anti-bacterial guard, is effective against superbugs and contains a UV inhibitor.

MINI SPARES KNOW THEIR TRUNNIONS!

Mini Spares is dedicated to providing parts to keep Mini-based kitcars on the road – or track – while doing so at a sensible price.

It has now introduced its own version of the front mounting trunnions for the 1976-on rear subframe. The Mini Spares part is distinguished by the ‘MS’ suffix on the 21A2558MS part number and retails at just £15.30 inc VAT as opposed to the price of the identical-looking genuine part, which can cost more than twice as much!

This larger trunnion was used from 1976 onwards on the front of the rear subframe and requires only two rubber More >

LASER GET ‘COM-PLIER-NT’

GOODIES FROM FOLIATEC

Of course, the secret of a perfect spray job lies in the preparation and to ensure every job is perfect Foliatec has now released its own range of accessories for use with its Carbody Spray Film.

First, cover all surfaces that are not to be sprayed using the Foliatec Special Mask Tape and the Fine Line Tape for long straight lines, curves and details. Use Easy Up Tape to loosen and fix seals.

Then use the specially developed Carbody Spray Film Pre-cleaner to remove grease, wax and oily residues. Spray it on all over the car and wipe it off with the More >

A GOOD STEER

The B-G Racing Quick Release system allows for fast and easy removal of a steering wheel from the column, making it much easier to get in and out of any racecar (and also makes an excellent anti-theft device when the vehicle is left unattended).

A master spline positioned dead-centre allows the use of the steering wheel as a reference point, ensuring perfect re-alignment every time.

Finished in black anodising and bright yellow powdercoating, this racing quick release system fully conforms to the latest FIA technical specifications. The system is manufactured from high quality aircraft grade aluminium with a hard anodised inner splined More >

AVATAR’S CUTTING EDGE

Enthusiasts seeking a balance of pure performance and affordability from every driving experience now have a fresh alternative from manufacturer Avatar. The Devon-based track and race division of Marlin Sports Cars has developed the 250bhp 2-litre Ford Ecoboost-engined Roadster to offer road and trackday enthusiasts a responsive, involving, lightweight car that offers plenty of scope to adjust and upgrade during ownership.

The car made its public debut at The Performance Car Show at the NEC this week alongside sister show Autosport International.

Eschewing the handling and styling compromises of transverse mounting the Ford 2-litre engine behind the driver, Avatar’s engineers mandated the More >

MEET THE 620R’S SLIGHTLY LESS MAD BIGGER BROTHER

Caterham Cars has introduced the ‘S’ Pack and the wider-bodied S5 chassis as options for the fastest road car it has ever produced, the 620R.

The new Seven 620S is the mildly saner, more road-oriented sibling of the ballistic 620R and features comforts such as a full windscreen, hood and side-screens, as well as leather seats.

For the first time, the Seven 620 can also now be specified with the wide-bodied S5 chassis as an option costing £2500. This version is wider and longer than the standard S3 chassis, providing an experience better suited for more generously-proportioned customers, with other benefits including More >

REVIVE THAT WILTON

If you’ve got a car with a soft top I think you’ve almost definitely know about the superb products of Renovo International. Their range enlivens, revives and maintains the condition of your car’s hood.

A faded, baggy old soft top can let down the appearance of an otherwise good car, but Renovo can help there too by re-colouring to an as-new condition.

Exciting news for 2016 is the arrival of not one but FIVE new products from Renovo International and I am sure they’re going to become equally essential as the company’s hood range.

First up is Carpet Reviver. Cleaning, reviving the colour More >
