Burton is pleased to announce the introduction of oversized pistons in a new size that was previously unavailable.

The pistons are ideal for Kent engines running +0.090” pistons which are now in need of a rebore. In the past this would have meant going to expensive forged pistons (+.090” was the maximum size for a cast piston) or finding another engine block.

The pistons have 4mm deep valve pockets meaning they will fit most performance camshafts (including 234 and 244) without any further piston modifications.

The pistons are cast with highly stable invar inserts similar to the original Hepolite replacements.

These pistons are made by an OE manufacturer and should not be confused with cheap Chinese imports.

The compression ratio will be in the region of 10.6:1 in a 1600 engine (the exact figure will depend on block height, head gasket thickness, etc).

The pistons can be ordered as part number 18647/110 and retail at £70.20 each incl. VAT making them considerably cheaper than custom made forged pistons.

AmD can now offer the latest Cobra Sport performance exhaust systems for the BMW M235i. The Cobra Sport systems feature a 3” diameter bore throughout with mandrel bends and no indentations. This is superior to the OE system and has been shown to achieve gains of +10bhp with a +16 lb-ft gain in torque. There is also a significant weight advantage; the Cobra Sport system weighs only 16.32kg which gives a 20% decrease from the OE system weight of 20.38kg. But it doesn’t stop there, when the exhaust is teamed  up with an AmD remap things get really hot.

The combination of the exhaust’s smoother gas flow and reduced weight provides improved performance. However, with the addition of an AmD software remap the new system really comes into its own; due to increased efficiency,  the combination creates more power than just the sum of the gains that would be achieved by the exhaust and software added together.

Because the AmD remap has been designed specifically to work with the Cobra Sport exhaust you can be sure that everything will work with maximum efficiency and without any fault codes being triggered in error.

AmD Tuning also offer FREE FITTING on all Cobra Sport Exhausts – or, if you prefer to buy by mail order and fit it yourself, AmD will offer 10% off and FREE DELIVERY – which can represent a significant saving on a full system. Furthermore, if you buy an AmD Tuning performance remap at the same time as a Cobra Sport Exhaust you can have the remap at HALF the usual retail price!

You can’t always avoid accidents or breakdowns, but you can be prepared for them by having a few useful items in your car. Should your car break down, for example, a towing rope might come in handy. Rameder has one that can tow 3,500kg and features a red safety flag, all for only €11.99. Check out www.rameder.eu for useful Rameder products under “car accessories”, then “Safety needs”.

If you have an accident or your car breaks down, you should always protect yourself first. In many countires you have to wear a reflective vest, so there must be one such item in any car. Regulations differ from country to country, but even if it is not mandatory, you better wear one anyway, lest other road user can’t really see you.

What is also very useful, is a reflective triangle, which you put up to alert other road users. It should be positioning about 200m before the scene of the breakdown or accident; and should you inadvertently have left your reflective triangle at such a scene, why not buy an inexpensive new one from Rameder!?

Also essentail is, of course, a first-aid kit, so that you are ready to deal with thjose summer cuts and grazes and bites and stings. Rameder sells various items you may need for it. Simply check out “Safety needs”.

An active family life requires a lot of flexibility – the suitable car must offer the same. 

The Hyundai i20 Active may be called the “small SUV”, but, for families especially, a lot of storage space in the car is indispensable. Whether during holiday trips or when the children move out – a lot of space is needed. If the 326-litre boot capacity of the i20 Active is not sufficient. True it can be expanded to substantial 1,042 litres, but for the really big challenges, there is no getting around a trailerr and that means fitting a tow hitch.

The Rameder detachable towbar for the Hyundai i20 Active is now available for Eur 195. If the hitch is to be used more frequently, the rigid model will be more suitable. This is available for as little as Eur 129. The complete kit, consisting of the rigid trailer hitch and wiring harness with adapter, can be obtained for Eur 179,99. This means there is nothing to stop you taking advantage of a spontaneous bulk purchase, helping with a relocation or other bulky transport tasks.

“It’s not rocket science”: it’s a phrase many people are fond of saying when referring to things that aren’t very complex. But what PER4MANCE-INDUSTRIES in Weißenstadt, Germany does is nothing short of it. Their high-tech bullets are miles apart from vehicles tuned by backyard mechanics. Owner Stefan Jahn generally prefers an understated approach, exercising his magical craft under the vehicle’s bodywork. PER4MANCE-INDUSTRIES’ latest prestige project is a Mercedes AMG GTS with 730 HP. The vehicle’s performance is achieved using two larger-sized turbochargers, adapted engine software and a special valve controlled exhaust system with upstream downpipes and throttle control. The PER4MANCE-EXHAUST brand and the PER4MANCE-INDUSTRIES company name make the company one of the largest manufacturers of valve exhaust systems and individual exhaust gas systems in Germany, all of which are made entirely by hand.

The rest of the vehicle must be adapted in line with the vehicle’s enormous power, so PER4MANCE-INDUSTRIES’ tuning naturally includes a whole range of additional features. The things they’re unable to build themselves are purchased as appropriate from masters in their craft. Stefan Jahn says “I’ve always found that BILSTEIN builds the best suspensions and offers a perfect balance. The Clubsport used in many of our top vehicles in particular is truly first rate.” The elite product links the world of the street to the world of motorsport and is even suitable for taking part in competitions. Thanks to German TUV road approval, journeys to and from competition destinations can be made on the vehicle’s own four wheels.

Other Bilstein Clubsport equipped PER4MANCE-INDUSTRIES project vehicles include an Audi R8 Plus and a Nissan GTR, but the real highlight is the W204-series C63 AMG, which has already made a career for itself as a competition vehicle.
