Webcon has just extended its range of Weber DGAV/DGAS base adaptors to include an application for the ever-popular Toyota 20R and 22R range of engines.

The 20R motor was primarily used on 2.0 litre Toyota models such as the Hilux, Corona and Celica. The 22R was fitted to 2.4 litre Hilux, Corona, Celica and Pickup.

The new adaptor allows fitment of the following types of Weber carburettors:
32/36 DGV / DGAV / DGEV
38 DGMS / DGAS / DGES

The adaptor is also suitable for fitting Webcon’s new Retroject throttle body to provide these vehicles with all the benefits of electronic fuel injection.

The Webcon DGV Toyota 20R/22R Adaptor can be ordered as part number 9900422200 and retails at £54.36 plus vat.

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS caburettors are used on millions of cars world wide and
combine the reliability and power of Weber with the convenience of a water operated
automatic choke.

Over time the efficiency of the bi-metallic unit can deteriorate leading to poor starting
and choke performance whilst the housing can corrode if the engine’s antifreeze and
corrosion inhibitor have not been correctly maintained.

Now the choke units on these popular carburettors can be overhauled by using
the new Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit.

The Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit contains 100% genuine Weber parts
including a bi-metallic unit, a die-cast water jacket and all the ancillary parts required for fitting.

The Webcon CRK003 choke overhaul kit will enable Weber 32/36 DGAV and 38 DGAS owners to return their car’s cold starting to original levels of performance.

CRK003 is priced at £59.95 plus vat

Available directly from Webcon and from appointed Webcon dealers around the world.

Although replacement OE bushes are available for the first generation Volvo XC90 (2002 – 2014) the original parts commonly fail due to torsional loads and the natural degradation of rubber. This leads to imprecise steering, braking instability and uneven tyre wear.

Powerflex has now introduced a longer lasting, more durable solution.

PFF88-1001 Front Wishbone Front Bush is designed to have a freely-rotating centre bar. This prevents torsional twist in the bush material and in so doing enhances performance, reliability and longevity. £99.48 per pair inc. VAT

PFF88-1002 Front Wishbone Rear Bush £59.88 per pair inc. VAT.

By replacing the worn rubber parts with our new Polyurethane bushes you can experience immediate and lasting improvements to your vehicle.

All Powerflex bushes, of course, carry a Lifetime Warranty.

Powerflex exhaust mounts have been designed and developed using a Red 65A durometer material. They are approx.15% stiffer than a rubber mount providing better height and movement control of the exhaust system. Unlike rubber mounts, polyurethane will not deteriorate with age and will not perish or break with weight. With the cost of some exotic exhaust systems running into the thousands these low-cost mounts are the perfect complement for any exhaust install.

The Ford Focus RS and ST have already proven to be worthy of the mega hatch tag; however, understeer and torque steer still appear to be present despite Ford’s efforts to reduce them.

After a lengthy R&D program, Powerflex is proud to announce two new premium performance products for the Ford Focus MK3 ST and RS that complete what is already an awesome vehicle.

PFF19-1802G Front Wishbone Rear Bush Anti-Lift & Caster Offset is a CNC-machined aluminium mount with a polyurethane bush providing 1 degree of caster offset and 7.5mm anti-lift. This improves camber gain in cornering without compromising straight line traction.

PFF19-8011G Front Wishbone Front Bush – Camber Adjustable is on-car adjustable for geometry precision, providing +/- 0.5 deg of camber adjustment.

As the intended usage of a vehicle changes, the suitability of the parts fitted also changes. People go from good road tyres to track tyres, better pads and discs to larger discs and caliper conversions and better springs to full-on adjustable coilover upgrades… all in the search of better performance on track.

For suspension bushes it’s no different; however, many track day vehicles, whilst having had all these mods carried out, still have standard Powerflex Road Series bushes fitted. Powerflex now offers a more suitable and better-performing alternative for BMW E46 models (including the M3) and the Z4 (E85/E86 models).

The Powerflex PFF5-5601GFront Wishbone Rear Bush is a 2-piece design featuring a low friction polyurethane inner bush, forming a bearing surface between the CNC machined aluminium outer shell, that offers minimal deflection and maximum performance. This results in an increase in stiffness of up to 128% compared with the original rubber bush.

There are three alternatives:
PFF5-5601G Front Wishbone Rear Bush, Caster Adjust fits into original mounting brackets with a 66mm diameter, bracket and bush part number: 31126783376. Retail price: £143.88 per pair.

PFF5-5601G-60 Front Wishbone Rear Bush, Caster Adjust totally replaces the original bush in all vehicles with a 60mm diameter mounting bracket except M3. Retail price: £143.88 per pair.

PFF5-5601GM3 Front Wishbone Rear Bush, Caster Adjust replaces original bush part number: 31122229857 found in M3 vehicles and fits into original mounting bracket part numbers: 31122229623, and 31122229624.Retail price: £143.88 per pair. All prices include VAT.

These parts all have the same caster offset found in Z4M vehicles providing an additional 0.5° offset over the original concentric bushes found in the E46.

All Powerflex bushes, of course, carry a Lifetime Warranty.

A sudden loss of oil pressure can destroy an engine in seconds. The standard 7lb oil pressure switch fitted to classic Minis often gives the warning too late to save the engine.

Mini Spares new uprated 20lb oil pressure switch activates the warning light when the oil pressure drops to 20lbs giving the driver precious extra seconds to shut down the engine.

The Mini Spares uprated 20lb oil pressure switch can be ordered as part number HPS1.

At just £18.60 inc VAT it’s a small price to pay to protect your engine.

All of the torque action of a classic Mini’s engine is controlled by the stabiliser arm (or ‘steady bar) located just above the flywheel housing. If you are still using original type rubber bushes in your bar you are living in the past. They only have a limited life and that will be dramatically shortened if they get contaminated by engine oil. Modern polyurethane bushes are far stiffer and totally resistant to oil contamination.

The Mini Spares engine stabiliser bar upper and lower polyurethane bush kit provides 4 bushes and two sleeve to completely upgrade the bar. The lower bush uses 3/8 ID sleeves and the upper uses 5/16.

Just £4.60 per set inc VAT. Order as part number C-STR630
A stiffer race version is also available.
