GAZ has recently improved the Gaz Gold suspension it offers for the Fiesta MkV Zetec by providing the protection of a black zinc coating.

As usual the GAZ units are adjustable whilst on the vehicle by means of an easily accessible side mounted adjuster knob.

The GAZ Gold range comes with a gas cell in the reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and reduce fade under racing and trackday conditions.

Ride height is adjustable from -25mm to -50mm. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

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.

The GAZ Gold Coilover Kit for the Ford Fiesta MkV Zetec can be ordered as GGA438 at £929.07 + VAT

For owners looking to improve the handling of 1972 to 1980 Triumph Dolomite models, including the Sprint, GAZ can offer coilover dampers with or without the option of height adjustability.

GAZ adjustable dampers enable the damping rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

GAZ can set the dampers up with valving for general road use and they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively, they can be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.

These GAZ dampers feature a zinc plated body. Adjustable ride height versions come with coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

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

GAZ adjustable dampers for all models of 1972-80 Triumph Dolomite can be ordered as follows:
GS1-2266 – adjustable rate damper with fixed spring platform £56.73+VAT each.
GSO-2264 – adjustable rate damper with height adjustable spring platform £68.31+VAT each.

GAZ can also supply appropriate springs to match these dampers according to the customer’s requirements and intended use.

Boom Mat XL is the latest addition to DEI’s range of damping material. Boom Mat XL is 4mm thick and is 166% thicker than its original damping material providing extreme noise damping for the most extreme commercial and sound-off competition applications.

Interior panels vibrate and generate noise. Boom Mat stops that noise by trapping it between the thick, 4 mil aluminum stiffening top skin and the asphalt free, pure butyl, noise constraining layer. The peal and stick backing will adhere to any interior surface, vertical or overhead without sagging, even in the most demanding of temperature extremes.

Boom Mat out performs the competition and is the first choice of top custom car builders, coachworks, motor-caravan and camper conversions, restoration experts and luxury car OE Manufacturers.

It is ideal as a first layer for areas with contours and bends that have vibration damping needs and provides an excellent surface for underlay and carpet or upholstery.

Boom Mat XL is completely non-hazardous and flexible – it can be applied to irregular surfaces
and easily trimmed to size with a Boom Mat Blade Lock Knife. In the automotive industry Boom Mat XL can be used on floors, inside door panels, in boot lids and inside roofs.
For commercial and industrial applications Boom Mat XL is also weatherproof and  corrosion resistant.

Burton is pleased to announce the introduction of oversized pistons in a new size that was previously unavailable.

The pistons are ideal for Kent engines running +0.090” pistons which are now in need of a rebore. In the past this would have meant going to expensive forged pistons (+.090” was the maximum size for a cast piston) or finding another engine block.

The pistons have 4mm deep valve pockets meaning they will fit most performance camshafts (including 234 and 244) without any further piston modifications.

The pistons are cast with highly stable invar inserts similar to the original Hepolite replacements.

These pistons are made by an OE manufacturer and should not be confused with cheap Chinese imports.

The compression ratio will be in the region of 10.6:1 in a 1600 engine (the exact figure will depend on block height, head gasket thickness, etc).

The pistons can be ordered as part number 18647/110 and retail at £70.20 each incl. VAT making them considerably cheaper than custom made forged pistons.

AmD can now offer the latest Cobra Sport performance exhaust systems for the BMW M235i. The Cobra Sport systems feature a 3” diameter bore throughout with mandrel bends and no indentations. This is superior to the OE system and has been shown to achieve gains of +10bhp with a +16 lb-ft gain in torque. There is also a significant weight advantage; the Cobra Sport system weighs only 16.32kg which gives a 20% decrease from the OE system weight of 20.38kg. But it doesn’t stop there, when the exhaust is teamed  up with an AmD remap things get really hot.

The combination of the exhaust’s smoother gas flow and reduced weight provides improved performance. However, with the addition of an AmD software remap the new system really comes into its own; due to increased efficiency,  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!

Regulations differ from country to country, but even if it is not mandatory, you better wear one anyway, lest other road user can’t really see you.

What is also very useful, is a reflective triangle, which you put up to alert other road users. It should be positioning about 200m before the scene of the breakdown or accident; and should you inadvertently have left your reflective triangle at such a scene, why not buy an inexpensive new one from Rameder!?
