Many classic car owners are confused about which anti freeze they should use.

Should it be Inorganic Additive Technology (IAT), Organic Acid Technology (OAT), or Hybrid Organic Acid Technology (HOAT)?

Should it be green, blue or pink?

Mini Spares has taken the guesswork out of choosing the right antifreeze by producing its own Mini Spares brand antifreeze which is suitable for ALL classic Minis.

It can be left in the radiator all year round as it is also a summer coolant and contains rust inhibitors to protect your Mini’s cooling system.

If you’re interested, it also conforms to ASTM D3306, ASTM D4985, SAE J1034 and BS 6580-2010. All you really need to know though is that it’s right for classic Minis and costs just £3.60 per litre – which is cheaper than most other brands on the market.

Gaz offers a Gaz Gold Race suspension kit for Peugeot 205 models that includes coilover struts that are both height and damper rate adjustable. Front ride height is adjustable through 80mm of adjustment.

The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the damper units are black zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialists, has direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheels to improve the performance of many European and Japanese models including:
Audi, BMW, Citroen, Ford, Honda, Hyundai, Jaguar, Kia, Lexus, Lotus, MG, Mazda, Mini, Mitsubishi, Nissan, Peugeot, Porsche, Saab, Smart, Subaru, Toyota, Triumph and VW.

However, buying parts from the States can prove expensive. The prices from the vendor are reasonable but then the extras start to pile on. There’s shipping, sometimes with a broker’s fee, UK import tax and then there’s the Royal Mail’s flat £8 fee for collecting the import tax.

If you’ve been thinking about buying a Fidanza flywheel (or maybe a Fidanza short shift kit) for your car now might be the best time to do it because between 26th November and 4th December Fidanza will be running a ‘Black Friday/Cyber Monday sale’ where you will be able to purchase Fidanza parts direct from the factory at discount prices that will help offset the mandatory additional charges.

Just visit www.fidanza.com and search for your make and model to see what offers are available, but remember the sale ends on the 4th December, then prices will revert to normal so be quick!

Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialists, has a direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheel to improve the performance of the Mini Cooper 1.6 (2002-04).

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio thus making the engine more responsive and improving performance and acceleration.

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface, CNC machined fastener holes and chamfers. The friction surface of the flywheel is a replaceable steel plate, so when the surface eventually becomes worn it can be replaced without requiring a new flywheel.

Every Fidanza flywheel application is a unique design that has taken into account the overall balance, critical clearances, tensile strength, heat dissipation and optimum weight saving that strikes a careful balance between reducing the original weight and maintaining a smooth idle for day-to-day street driving. Fidanza flywheels are equally suited for fast road, trackday and pure competition use.

The flywheel for the Mini Cooper can be ordered directly from Fidanza.com as Part number 177001 and for a limited period is available at the special price of $418.76 (approx: £320.00)… a discount of 16% on the usual price of $497.90!

Prices correct at time of going to press. Prices are plus shipping and tax.
