GAZ ‘Gold’ Suspension Front Struts for Ford Capri

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.

GAZ Gold Adjustable Suspension for BMW E30

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.

DEI Mazda MX-5 ’90-’05 Thermal & Acoustic Interior Kit

The surprisingly warm early autumn weather means that Mazda MX-5 owners can go on enjoying their cars for longer this year, but when it’s unseasonably warm the last thing you want is more heat coming through the firewall, floor or transmission tunnel. That’s where the latest offering from DEI comes in. The DEI Thermal & Acoustic Kit for the 1990-2005 MX-5 insulates the interior from radiating heat but when the weather does change it will keep the interior warmer so you can continue driving long into the winter months.

Annoying sounds like road, tyre and exhaust noise are also reduced thanks to the sound absorbing qualities of the material. Overall this kit creates a more comfortable internal temperature and quieter experience which improves the stereo performance and makes for effortless conversation.

The kit replaces the factory padding and insulation with DEI’s unique UC Lite™ material which is CNC pre-cut for an easy fit and quick installation. Unlike conventional sound proofing material DEI’s UC Lite™ is light weight and has negligible affect on the car’s performance.

Order as part number 50295 at £150.52 + VAT from Nimbus Motorsport (nimbusmotorsport.com).

Webcon Weber 32/36 DGV Manifold for Volvo B18/B20 Engines

The Volvo B18 and B20 series of OHV engines were introduced in the early 1960s and powered a number of popular Volvo cars. Many such vehicles are still running today and a large number of owners chose to upgrade the engine’s induction by fitting the superb Weber 32/36 DGV carburettor.

In recent years availability of the custom intake manifolds has been sporadic; however, Webcon has solved that problem by manufacturing its own intake manifold.

The manifold is produced in the UK to Webcon’s legendary quality standards. It is supplied complete with a custom throttle linkage and necessary fittings as part number MW0042 priced at £397.12 plus VAT.

The new Volvo intake manifold is also supplied as a complete kit with an authentic Spanish Weber 32/36 DGV carburettor and a chrome air filter as part number PVO101 priced at £679.20 plus VAT.

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

Webcon Distributor Pick Up for Ford, Fiat and Lancia Engines

The Magneti Marelli distributor pick up 71326901 was originally fitted to the Ford Sierra Cosworth and Lancia Delta Integrale, as well as a number of other Fiat and Lancia applications, but was discontinued by Marelli in 2021.

A small number of aftermarket options remained in production until early 2023, but these have also now been discontinued.

Webcon is therefore pleased to announce the introduction of Webcon WPU088W which is a superb quality, Webcon produced replacement for 71326901.

WPU088W is priced at just £69.95 plus VAT and is available for immediate shipping.

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

Webcon Conversion Kit to fit a single Weber 32/36 DGV to Ford Crossflow (Kent) engines

Ford’s legendary Crossflow (Kent) engine first entered production in the 1960s. Although it has not been made for around forty years, tuning this engine is as popular as ever. Whilst many tuners favour a pair of Weber 40DCOEs, a significant number prefer the driveability and economy of a Weber 32/36DGV.

Despite the cessation of Ford’s production of the single carburettor manifold years ago demand is still strong and Webcon is thus delighted to announce that it has tooled up to produce the twin choke manifold for the Crossflow once again.

As you would expect, the revived manifold is made by Webcon in the UK to its exacting standards. The manifold is available as a package complete with an authentic Spanish Weber 32/36DGV jetted to suit the Crossflow, custom linkage and air filter. Order as part number PFO104 priced at £567.50 plus VAT.

The Crossflow manifold is also availabile on its own as part number MW4230 priced at £331.34 plus VAT and the authentic style throttle linkage kit is part number LP4230 priced at £79.86 plus VAT.

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