The last of the classic Mini models (1980-2000) were equipped with an oversized water pump pulley to minimise the horsepower drain and slow the water moving through the radiator to allow it time to do its job of cooling.

Now Mini Spares are offering an alloy version of the 4.725″ pulley that will fit not just the last A-Plus Mini models but all 1275 models.

The pulley is also ideal for use with a high capacity water pump and will further assist the pump in reducing cavitation in the water jacket,

If you are using a crate engine or a transplant engine chances are that it will have been designed to use electronic fly-by-wire throttle bodies. These are very difficult to use on another application so if you are running an aftermarket ECU then the electronic throttle bodies will need to be replaced with mechanical ones.

Jenvey now have 90mm and 102mm throttle bodies that are ideal for this purpose. They offer very good progression and are suitable for ultra high performance cars running 700bhp upwards.

In initial tests thay have been shown to work perfectly on Corvette LS3 crate engines and a Toyota Supra engine putting out over 1500bhp, making the cars responsive, controllable and a joy to drive.

Jenvey Mechanical Throttle Bodies start at £310.00 plus VAT for the 90mm.
The 102mm versions are £360.00 + VAT each.

AmD Tuning have just released a remap for the 1.4 TSi Skoda Fabia vRS, which in combination with a  Milltek exhaust turns the Fabia into a stunning “pocket-rocket”!

The T304 stainless steel full ‘turbo back’ exhaust system outperforms the factory system in every way. Bends are smoother, and the gas flow more balanced and it is also lighter than its OE counterpart.

The AmD remap builds on the exhaust system’s improvements to significantly improve drivability, power and torque – particularly in the all-important mid-range.

Best of all, if you purchase the exhaust system at the same time as the remap, AmD will give you a 50% discount on the remap!

Fitting can be carried out at AmD’s Lakeside tuning centre conveniently located close to the M25 London Orbital Motorway and next to the Dartford Crossing and Lakeside Shopping Centre.
