The range of Mercedes applications will be increasing over the coming months and Powerflex will be pleased to hear of any particular requirements Mercedes owners may have.
Fitting Powerflex doesn’t just have to be a performance upgrade. Powerflex products are now commonly fitted as a fit-and-forget replacement for the original rubber bushes and offer the added benefit of the Powerflex Lifetime Warranty. Worn front suspension bushes lead to braking instability, imprecise steering and uneven tyre wear which are all common problems on normal vehicles. Replacing old rubber bushes with Powerflex is the solution.
For vehicles used in Motorsports or predominately on track, these parts are also available in the Powerflex Black Series range which is manufactured using a 95 Shore A compound that boasts 25% increased stiffness over the Powerflex Purple 80 Shore A performance material.
All Powerflex bushes, of course, carry a Lifetime Warranty.

Following requests from a number of its European dealers who report of frequent failures of original bushes, Powerflex is pleased to announce the introduction of replacement uprated bushes for Fiat C2 platform based models.
Powerflex is pleased to announce that following the recent launch and popularity of its bushes for VAG MLB platform based vehicles, it has just added two new parts to fit the following vehicles:
Forget remapping and tuning boxes!
The MOMO Prototipo Carbon 6C is a classic-looking wheel with a modern twist. A rim bound in the finest Italian leather is a classic feature of many MOMO steering wheels whilst the cut-out spokes hark back to the days of classic open sports cars; however, the modern twist is the carbon fibre covering to the spokes which refreshes the interior and lifts it above the more common black painted spokes of other ‘classic’ steering wheels.
Sadly there are a number of companies from the Far East offering poor quality ‘Lucas style’ reproduction rear lights for the Mini. Fortunately Mini Spares can offer the real thing – high quality Lucas style lamps made in the UK from the original and genuine tooling. (Although these lamps are made from original Lucas tooling the new Mini Spares versions cannot carry the Lucas logo as the trademark was sold to a third party company).
M-Style is proud to announce that it is now a distributor of 3D Design high flow carbon air intake systems. The first to be released is for all BMW F2X M135i and M235i models.
The Triumph Toledo was introduced in August 1970 as a cheaper version of the Triumph 1300. Rear-wheel drive and a live rear axle (with coil springs) was used in the interest of simplicity and low production costs. Nowadays this simpler rear suspension can easily be enhanced by fitting GAZ GS dampers.
The first generation Mustang captivated the tuning world and introduced us all to the Pony Car concept; however, the ‘cart’ sprung rear end is massively outdated by modern standards. GAZ now offers GT Dampers to allow owners to adjust both the front and rear suspension to suit the conditions and driving style.
The original Citroen AX was built with lightness in mind. It weighed just 640 kg (1,411 lb) in its basic version. This could be the basis for a cheap and very tuneable track day car but the light feel is not to every driver’s taste; the solution is to firm up the suspension with some GAZ fully adjustable GT Dampers.
