GAZ has quite a large inventory of uprated suspension for various BMW models, but one that has been missing from that list is the classic E9… until now.

The latest GAZ Gold kit will fit all models of E9 including the CSi ‘Batmobile’ and is suitable for road use, track day and racing.

The kit includes adjustable coilovers for the front and adjustable dampers and height adjustable spring platforms for the rear on which the ride height can be adjusted through 60mm. The coilovers have a coarse acme form thread for ease of height adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service. (Donor front hubs are required for the conversion).

Damping rates are variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper bodies. The GAZ Gold range is designed primarily for out-and-out racing so each comes with a reservoir filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to reduce fade and a gas cell to prevent cavitation under harsh racing and trackday conditions. Springs can be supplied to the customer’s specifications according to the vehicle’s intended use with softer spring rates available for road use..

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory.

The GAZ Gold coilover kit for the BMW E9 can be ordered as part number GGA119 at £1013.58 plus VAT.

Great news for Toyota Supra enthusiasts! Fidanza now offers a range of performance equipment for most models of Toyota Supra.

Lightweight Alloy Flywheels
Fidanza’s aluminium flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum for superb tensile strength, incredible heat dissipation and (of course) a reduction in weight that delivers: faster acceleration, quicker throttle response, better vehicle braking and increased clutch efficiency, as well as long lasting durability.
Fidanza makes the whole friction surface (shown in its green protective delivery coating in the image) replaceable so your flywheel will never require resurfacing or total replacement. When the friction surface wears, that alone needs to be replaced, thus saving both time and money. The pattern for the fasteners is a computer design that keeps the friction surface from warping under extreme use. Fidanza doesn’t just use more fasteners because they can, Fidanza uses them because they are needed. Fidanza can supply flywheels for the following Supras:
130991 – 93-97 3.0 litre Non Turbo – 2JZ-GE flywheel. 130661 – 93-98 3.0 litre Turbo – 2JZ-GTE flywheel.
130251 – 90-93 2.5 litre – 1JZ-GTE flywheel. 130591 – 1/86-5/93 3.0 litre Turbo – 7M-GTE flywheel.
All retail at £299 + VAT / €323 + VAT 1982-5 to ‘93 2.8/3.0 litre Non Turbo also available to order.

Short Throw Shifter
There is a new Short Throw Shifter in the range for the Toyota Supra. RRP: US$93.32.
Call Fensport for current UK/Euro price.

Adjustable Vernier Cam Gears
Finally, there are new adjustable vernier cam gears for the 7M-GTE (thread-in) and 2JZ-GE & 2JZ-GTE engines which allow the timing to be adjusted by 12 degrees of both advance and retard. Fidanza cam gears are designed to tighter tolerances than factory OE gears and are precision CNC machined from high grade 6061 T6 aluminium for exact fitment and high durability. Stainless steel studs are threaded through the back of the outer gear, the inner is placed into this and fastened with stainless steel nuts and lock washers. This design delivers optimal function and strength by allowing more torque to be used to secure the inner and outer gear sections without risking stretching the aluminium threads.
930664 – 2JZ-GE & 2JZ-GTE cam pulley’s (silver) – £189 + VAT / €205 + VAT

Most Triumph sports car owners confine their car’s use to warm summer days. Unfortunately that’s when heat transfer from the gearbox and exhaust to the interior is most noticeable and uncomfortable, particularly if there are missing or worn out floor grommets, or a damaged or worn out gearbox cover.

DEI, the aftermarket leader for heat and sound control products, now offers a Gearbox Cover Heat Shield Kit for the Triumph TR5, TR6 and the US market TR250 (a TR5 with twin Zenith-Stromberg carburettors instead of the Lucas fuel injection system to conform with tighter emission regulations). The kit greatly reduces the transfer of heat for a more comfortable ride and requires no special tools for installation.

DEI’s innovative Gearbox Heat Shield Kit greatly reduces heat transfer from the gearbox and up through the gear-lever boot cover. It is manufactured from a high-heat resistant material which is rated to handle direct heat up to 955°C (1750°F). It is only 4.76mm (3/16”) thick and is sold in a convenient kit with everything needed for installation.

This low profile, CNC cut, adhesive backed shield consists of seven individual custom-cut pieces and can be ordered as part # 010882. The kit comes complete with two packets of adhesion promoter, one roll of 38mm x 4.57 metre (1-1/2” x 15’) heat reflective sealing tape to cover seams, installation instructions and protective gloves.
Retail price is US$163.74 plus tax and delivery.

In the UK & Europe DEI’s products can be ordered from Demon-Tweeks.com.

Drifting and Rally driving requires extensive use of the handbrake, which can result in weaknesses in standard cable type handbrakes. A hydraulic handbrake system prevents these weaknesses. The hydraulic system connects into the brake line that runs to the rear calipers and requires a lot less force to completely lock both rear wheels when needed. A hydraulic handbrake is used by drivers to lock up or break loose the rear wheels when they want to drift the car sideways or spin on the spot. Rally drivers regularly need to spin 180 degrees ‘on the spot’ when they over shoot an intersection, or have to turn very hard left or right and there’s not enough wheel lock to achieve this. The hydraulic handbrake is not used to stop the car.

This 300mm long lockable handbrake lever and box from Burton is a high quality UK product manufactured by OBP – and it’s available at an affordable price. A master cylinder is not included, allowing the customer to choose the most appropriate from Burton’s range, for the intended purpose.

The kit features:
• Super light-weight aluminium billet lever
• Aircraft grade aluminium
• Extreme strength
• Pivot on oil impregnated bearings
• High quality ball joint connection

A hydraulic hand brake can be added into the rear brake line system without changing the original mechanical handbrake setup. OBP Motorsport design and manufacture all these units in its own UK based factory. The hydraulic handbrakes are constructed out of lightened steel with a black powder coat finish along with a billet aluminium handle and grip; this construction provides an extremely strong product that will last a lifetime.

Burton is now stocking and recommending the latest two piece floating front disc brakes for the Ford Focus Mk3 RS 2.3 EcoBoost 2016-2018. The discs are manufactured by EBC and designed to shave crucial kilogrammes off a vehicle’s un-sprung weight, leading to: sharper turn in, improved tyre road holding, better fuel economy and an increase to BHP at the wheels. Best of all, when the cast iron friction ring becomes worn after a period of use, the outer ring alone can be replaced, allowing the centre hub and stainless bobbins to be re-used, thereby reducing long term running costs.

The discs are manufactured from the finest materials and are some of the highest quality two-piece discs on the market at any price. All outer friction rings are cast from a high-copper, high-carbon G3500 disc alloy. The bells are precision machined from aerospace grade aluminium then hard anodised for great looks and excellent durability.

The cast iron outer ring ‘floats’ on EBC’s patented SD-Drive technology bobbins, allowing the friction ring to expand and contract freely by up to 3mm when subjected to the extreme heat generated from hard braking.

All bobbins are machined from a single piece of stainless steel. This prevents unsightly corrosion and ensures the outer ring continues to float freely even after years of exposure to the elements. EBC Racing’s two-piece floating discs offer a low maintenance solution for both road and the track use. Each bobbin location also features an anti-rattle springclip; this results in the discs being totally silent in operation and there is no ‘off brake disc rattle’ that plagues many other full race two-piece disc systems.

The two piece discs are a simple direct replacement for the original single piece discs. No vehicle modifications are required and the discs are supplied fully assembled. The discs feature 48 directionally handed, curved vanes for effective heat dissipation, thus operating temperatures are reduced which helps delay the onset of brake fade. All discs are run-out tested before sale. Order as part number SG2FC2030 at £864.00 per pair inc. VAT.
