M-Style now has a complete cooling package solution for E9X M3 cars. This is particularly suitable for those that have been subject to power upgrades and/or are used to their full potential on the track. The kit is made from aircraft quality aluminium and comprises: an engine water radiator, engine oil cooler, DCT gearbox oil cooler and a power steering fluid cooler.
Aluminium is the modern material of choice for cooling. It is stronger than copper or brass so can provide a thinner tube wall thickness which improves heat transfer. It can also perform the cooling task with fewer cores so the rearmost cores don’t struggle to cool with hot air transferred from the frontmost cores.
The complete CSF Cooling Package retails at £2449 inc. VAT.

The Saab 900, with its double wishbone suspension at the front, puts a lot of stress on its dampers but replacing them with GAZ adjustable units will improve performance, longevity and handling.
GAZ GT Dampers provide variable bump and rebound rates which can be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. The damping rates can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.
All units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ GT front dampers for the Saab 900 retail at £71.73 each plus VAT

The Rover 220 Coupé Turbo of the Nineties is reckoned to be the fastest ever production Rover and with a top speed of 150 mph (241 km/h) and a 0-60 mph time of 6.2 seconds (according to a1992 Autocar test) it’s a pretty quick car even by today’s standards.
However, it’s unlikely that the handling and suspension performance will be up to the same standards after all this time so GAZ Shocks is now offering an adjustable coilover kit for the Rover 220 Coupé Turbo (and the naturally aspirated 220 Coupé).
Ride height is variable by means of height adjusters with coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment. Damper units are zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.
Damper rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
The GAZ GHA Coilover Kit for the Rover 220 Coupé & Coupé Turbo can be ordered as part number GHA373 and retails at £626.27 plus. VAT per kit.

GAZ Shocks is now offering a GAZ Gold fully adjustable suspension kit that is suitable for both the Ford Sierra Cosworth 4×4 and the Escort Cosworth 4×4 models.
Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment. The damper units are plated with black zinc and fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. 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.
Damper rates are also variable by means of an adjuster knob on the damper body. 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.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
GAZ Gold Coilover Kits for Ford Sierra and Escort Cosworth 4×4 retail at £975.52 plus. VAT per kit.

Leading suspension specialists GAZ now offers its coilover suspension with helper springs as an option as shown on this BMW E21 classic 3 series kit.
Helper springs keep the main suspension springs under tension when the car is jacked up and prevents the main spring from becoming unseated. The helper spring option is most useful for race or track day cars where the vehicle is jacked up and tyres changed frequently; however it is possible for the suspension spring to unseat from just one jacking and as such it is worth considering for street vehicles.
Naturally this E21 suspension includes all the established GAZ features like ride height adjustability from -25mm to
-55mm.
The adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the units are zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.
All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a two year warranty.
The GAZ GHA Coilover Kit for BMW E21 retails at £717.01 plus. VAT.
Helper springs with connectors are £15.00 each plus VAT.

DEI’s new Motorcycle Leg Shield is designed to prevent leg burns from hot exhausts, thus keeping riders safe and pain-free.
The universal sized 8″x10″ shields feature a heavy-duty outer shell with an insulated inner layer. They slip on and off easily and are made to last.
DEI’s Motorcycle Leg Shields simply go around the leg and fasten with easy-to-use hook-and-loop straps. They are fully adjustable and large enough to fit over leathers and riding gear. They are ideal for road use but are tough enough for the most extreme riding environments such as motocross, off-road and speedway.
DEI’s Motorcycle Leg Shields can be stored under your seat or saddlebag when not in use.
For more information about DEI Powersports new Motorcycle Leg Shield, and the rest of the company’s heat and sound control product lines, visit www.designengineering.com
DEI’s Motorcycle Leg Shield can be ordered directly from www.designengineering.com at
£43.82 plus import tax and shipping.
Alternatively, in Europe, they can be ordered through Demon Tweaks.
