GAZ is well known for its involvement in the BMW Compact Cup race series, but BMW E36 Compact owners don’t necessarily have to go the whole hog and install GAZ coilovers to improve their car’s handling. GAZ also offer bump and rebound shock absorbers that will dramatically improve a road use car and even be beneficial on track days.
GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. They have adjustable damping rates which can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.
GAZ can set the dampers up for general road use but they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively they can even be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.
GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body and protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.
All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
The GAZ GT dampers for the BMW E36 Compact can be ordered as part number GT5-2016 for the front and GT5-2015 for the rear.
Both retail at £67.28 each plus VAT and are available from GAZ dealers worldwide.

Burton Power is pleased to announce it can now offer its own version of the original Group 1 prop shaft. The Burton Propshaft uses a larger diameter tubing and has no centre bearing; this single piece propshaft is thus much stronger than the original two piece item. It is suitable as a direct replacement for the original prop or for competition use. It will fit all standard RS2000s or Mk2 Escorts that use a Rocket or 5 speed gearbox and an English or Atlas axle. It will also fit a Mk1 with a Mk2 diff. flange.
The Propshaft is a high quality item manufactured in the UK, not a cheap inferior import. The vast majority of imports use rather crude forgings which are heavier and the tubing spec can often be suspect. The tube specification used on Burton propshafts is SAE 1020/1040, as per the original specification. The end float in the universal joints is controlled by varying the thickness of the circlips which gives a smoother joint action and better control over straightness and dynamic balance. All shafts are checked and corrected for straightness. The aim is to have no greater runout of more than 0.25mmon any part of the tube (compared to original specification of 0.35mm). Dynamic balance is at 3000rpm to ISO specification G16. All propshafts are now fitted with an upgraded transmission sleeve to eradicate any reliability issues under extreme race conditions.
Applications:
Ford Escort Mk2 RS Mexico 1975-1978
Ford Escort Mk2 RS1800 1975-1977
Ford Escort Mk2 RS2000 1976-1980
Ford Escort Mk2 with a 4 speed Rocket or 5 speed Type 9 gearbox 1975-1980
Ford Escort Mk1 with a 4 speed Rocket or 5 speed Type 9 gearbox and a Mk2 diff flange 1968-1974

Following a late summer facelift, the Audi SQ7 is now even more attractive. Engine-wise, the slightly modified standard V8 diesel still delivers 435 hp (320 kW) and 900 Nm. However, ABT Sportsline dares to up the ante and offer the proud customer the option of a steadfast 510 hp (375 kW), whereby the maximum torque is boosted to 970 Nm. With sports air suspension and progressive steering as standard, the SQ7 with ABT Power performance upgrade delivers superior handling at all times. “The engine and platform have plenty in reserve, providing both impressive power and excellent driveability,” explains CEO Hans-Jürgen Abt. His company has recently launched an upgrade for the SQ8 with identical specification.

The perfect tuning of the high-tech control unit ABT Engine Control (AEC) of course also plays a part and guarantees driving pleasure without remorse. In addition, ABT Sound Control is available for models with factory-fitted active sound system, to create a charismatic individual vehicle sound. If you would like your ABT SQ7 to be instantly recognisable, in 2020 you can pre-order the aerodynamic widebody kit that is currently under intensive development.

Matching ABT Sports Wheels are already available in three different 22-inch variants, namely the Sport GR in glossy black or matt black, the HR Aero in dark smoke and the flow-forming high-performance HR-F in shadow silver. Select your preferred individual combination from these and many other visual finishing options with the ABT Configurator. There are also several interior finishing options available, such as the ABT Start-Stop Switch Cap with illuminated logo or ABT Door Entry Lighting.
