The latest project from M-Style shows that the company is more than capable of improving performance as well as styling (Unfortunately, someone is already using the name ‘M-Performance’!).

This E46 M3 is equipped with an ESS 550 supercharger kit with a smaller pulley for faster drive and a Snow Performance water/meth injection kit to provide in-cylinder cooling and anti-knock protection. The engine has also been treated to some cylinder head work and a set of Schrick uprated rocker arms. Naturally, the ECU has been remapped to suit these upgrades and the clutch and flywheel have been uprated to handle the new-found power.

Other upgrades include: a Supersprint exhaust system with an Eisenmann back box, a Brembo big brake kit, BC Racing coilovers, Ultra Racing under body braces, a KED chassis brace and power steering reservoir, Powerflex poly bushes, a CSF oil cooler, an oil catch can and a Radium fuel line.

Of course it wouldn’t be an M-Style project without some of M-Style’s signature styling touches. To this end the car features: genuine ACS wheels, a carbon splitter, a carbon rear diffuser, carbon engine bay styling as well as custom pods for the boost gauge and other additional performance monitoring instrumentation.

M-Style can provide similar performance and styling equipment for almost all BMW vehicles as well as fitting and painting services at its Romford based workshops.

The GAZ Gold suspension kit for the Ford Capri is suitable for the Capri range from the 1969 Mk1, through to the 1988 Mk3 model, but excluding the 3.0 Essex V6 model which has different hubs.

The coilover struts 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.

Damper rates are 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 or trackday conditions.

The struts require a donor stub axle which is renovated and incorporated into the new strut. However if this is not available GAZ can supply new stub axles at just £85.00 each.

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

Gaz Gold adjustable coilover struts for the Ford Capri can be ordered as part number GGA403.
A pair of struts inclusive of new stub axles and springs retail at £942.42 + carriage & VAT.

If ever there was a company that knows a thing or two about tuning BMW suspension then that honour must fall to GAZ. They have been supplying, sponsoring and winning BMW race series for many years now.

GAZ has just re-released its popular GAZ Gold suspension kit for the BMW E30, but now the dampers and struts are coated in the company’s latest super-tough Black Zinc finish. The new protective finish will ensure that the dampers will remain in good order for many years despite what the track and road throws at them.

Ride height is altered by means of adjustable spring seats on the front coilovers. To ensure consistent ease of operation the height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread so that adjustment is possible even when the unit is caked in dry mud. Separate springs and dampers are provided for the rear.

Damper bounce and rebound rates are adjusted by means of easily accessible adjuster knobs on the damper body. The GAZ coilovers come with integral gas cells filled with a high viscosity index multi grade oil to prevent cavitation and reduce fade under racing or trackday conditions. For extra peace of mind all units are individually tested and certified before leaving the factory.

The GAZ GOLD kit for BMW E30 1982-91 (incl. M3 model) can be ordered as part number GGA300 at £1,149.40 + carriage & VAT.
Also shown, solid race rear top mounts at £140.00 per pair + carriage & VAT.
