Fidanza has just released a short shifter for all models of the 1990-2000 5 speed Mazda MX-5 -aka the Miata in certain markets.

Fidanza Quick Shift for Mazda MX-5 (Miata)

A Fidanza short shifter will help sharpen and smooth the gear changes on these popular sportscars by shortening the distance between gear positions with a shorter throw. It weighs just three pounds, that’s 1.36kg.

The shifter comes as a complete bolt-in assembly that totally replaces the original shift. All that you have to transfer is the gear knob and the gaiter boot!

The Fidanza flywheel can be ordered as part number 891834 and retails at just USD $69.99 plus shipping and tax.

GAZ Coilover Suspension for Audi Coupé GT 5S

GAZ Coilover Suspension for Audi Coupé GT 5S

Most classic car enthusiasts are familiar with the 4wd Audi Quattro which dominated the race scene in the early 1980s. However, not so many are familiar with the 2wd Coupé GT 5S which shared the same body.

This hasn’t stopped GAZ from producing a coilover suspension kit for the 1981-1985 Coupé GT 5S.

The GAZ kit allows the owner to make precise changes as and when required to obtain the optimum handling.

The GAZ units are bump and rebound adjustable at the rear and rebound adjustable at the front by means of easily accessible adjusters.

Ride height is adjustable from -25mm to -50mm.

The GAZ kit is suitable for road and race cars, including those that have been modified or subject to extensive power upgrades.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty.

Front coilover units can be ordered as GAZ 5474A/s at £185.00 each + VAT and
rear units can be ordered as GP8-5473 at £97.16 each + VAT.
Front units are built on the original struts so donor front struts will be required.

EXO Sleeve – Wiring, Line & Hose 3 in 1 Protection

EXO Sleeve – Wiring, Line & Hose 3 in 1 Protection

New EXO Sleeve from DEI offers your wiring, hoses and oil, brake and transmission lines not one, but three, levels of protection.

At the centre, sitting next to the loom, line or hose to be protected, is a layer of high temperature resistant braided glass material woven into a sleeve. This protects from continuous, direct heat up to 500°F and up to 2000°F intermittent heat. It also provides a soft cushion that protects the line from impact, abrasion and shrap objects.

The inner braided glass core is surrounded by a 100% silicone rubber coating that protects against water and damage from other fluids as well as providing electrical insulation and further protection against heat.

Finally, on the outside there is a T304 stainless steel mesh covering that provides tough protection against impact and abrasion in addition to air flow around sleeve.

As well as protecting the line within, EXO Sleeve also protects the mechanic from burns during repairs and maintenance.
Each pack includes a 16″ length of DEI Fire Tape to finish the cut ends.

AmD Tuning Package for Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost Zetec-S Software remap and performance exhaust

Cobra Sport’s CAT-back performance exhaust for the Fiesta 1.0 Eco Boost Zetec-S has been designed to allow for faster gas flows, opening up the opportunities for engine tuning. To fulfill that opportunity Cobra Sport’s race partner, AmD Tuning, has developed a remap that has been specially written to work hand-in-hand with the new exhaust system.

AmD Tuning Package for Ford Fiesta 1.0 EcoBoost Zetec-S
Software remap and performance exhaust

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!

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.
For more details and pricing of GAZ Monotube Coilover Suspension Kits please contact GAZ Sales.

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.
