GAZ Custom Made Monotube Coilover Kits

GAZ Custom Made Monotube Coilover Kits

Leading performance suspension specialist, Gaz Shocks, has now extended its one-off custom build service to include monotube shocks. The coilover pictured was for a space-framed race car, but that is just an example of what can be produced and the final product is down to meeting your needs.

GAZ gas-charged Monotube Coilovers are far lighter than other types of coilover damper, the use of lightweight billet aluminium parts reduces unsprung weight, making them ideal for serious trackday or competition use. They also react quicker and can be used in an inverted position.

GAZ Monotube Coilover kits come with silicone chrome springs and the required mounting hardwear. The spring platforms are adjustable to allow the ride height to be altered as required and the bump and rebound settings can be adjusted by means of a knurled collar at the top (or bottom if used inverted).

Like all GAZ coilovers the monotubes carry a 2 year warranty for non race use.

Bespoke valving and the customer’s preferred spring rates are available. Price is according to application.

Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel for MGB

Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel for MGB

Here’s a way to extract some extra performance from the 5 bearing ‘B’ Series 1800cc engine as used in the 1968-1980 MGB without making any modifications to the engine 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 (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need to replace
entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)

The Fidanza flywheel incorporates a 127 tooth ring gear and is suitable for the 4-Synchro gearbox.

The Fidanza flywheel can be ordered as part number 126801 and retails at USD $500.49 plus shipping and tax.

AmD Tuning Package for VW Golf R Software remap and performance exhaust

AmD Tuning Package for VW Golf R
Software remap and performance exhaust

Cobra Sport’s performance exhaust for the VW Golf Mk7 ‘R’ has been enjoying universal acclaim since it was launched last year. The performance enhancing large bore stainless steel pipework, the choice of resonated or non-resonated centre sections and the option of having a valved or non-valved exhaust have all proved extremely popular with customers and the press. Now Cobra Sports race partner, AmD Tuning, has developed a remap that has been specially developed to work hand-in-hand with the new exhaust system.

The AmD software remap works with the new-found increased efficiency of the exhaust and develops upon it. The combination creates more power than just the sum of the gains that would be achieved by the exhaust and software added together.

Because the AmD remap has been designed specifically to work with the Cobra Sport exhaust you can be sure that everything will work with maximum efficiency and without any fault codes being triggered in error.

AmD Tuning also offer FREE FITTING on all Cobra Sport Exhausts – or, if you prefer to buy by mail order and fit it yourself, AmD will offer 10% off and FREE DELIVERY – which can represent a significant saving on a full system. Furthermore, if you buy an AmD Tuning performance remap at the same time as a Cobra Sport Exhaust you can have the remap at HALF the usual retail price!
