As an official Cobra Sport dealer M-Style is proud to announce it now has stocks of the latest Cobra Sport exhaust is for the M135i 1 Series BMW; the F40.

As standard, the M135i, comes with a rather disappointing muted exhaust. The Cobra Sport upgrade not only improves the sound but the performance as well.
These improvements have been made possible by the use of 3”/76.2mm stainless steel pipework throughout, which is enhanced by mandrel bent curves for smoother, therefore more efficient, gas flow.

Customers have the option to upgrade the system in stages if preferred. A PPF -back configuration retains the stock catalyst and PPF and is MOT compliant. Adding a PPF-delete section would create the cat-back setup whilst customers going down the tuning route can add a high-flow sports catalyst or de-cat front pipe to create a full turbo-back setup. For significantly improved sound levels, there is then a rear-silencer-delete option which also reduces weight.

To improve the M135i’s looks there is a choice of dual 4” (101.6mm) and 4.5” (114.3mm) slash cut, highly polished stainless-steel tailpipes or the option to upgrade to carbon fibre tailpipes. The standard diffuser is retained.

Prices are from £1130 – £1270 – depending on tail pipe option.

GAZ is now offering adjustable alloy top mounts to firm up the suspension struts’ location points on Mazda RX-7 (FB models) competition and trackday cars. The alloy mounts also provide the opportunity to adjust the camber on these cars by means of a two piece sliding plate.

These CNC machined alloy billet top mounts come complete with stainless steel bolts, a ready fitted centre bearing and spacer plate.

GAZ top mounts are ideal for racing and dedicated track day cars but would probably be too harsh for cars used daily on the road.

GAZ Adjustable Alloy Top Mounts for Mazda RX-7 (FB models) retail at £173.65 + VAT per pair

Whenever GAZ produces a one-off suspension component for a customer they then add that part to their catalogue and make it available for other owners of that vehicle model.

This can sometimes lead to some quite obscure parts becoming available. One such example is the GAZ solid suspension mounts for the Lancia Monte Carlo.

These billet aluminium mounts replace the rubber mounts used on production cars and provides a stiffer and more positive suspension location for cars that are used exclusively in competition or on trackdays. This ensures the ideal set up for classic racing but this would be too hard and noisy for general road use.

The GAZ solid suspension mounts for the Lancia Monte Carlo retail at £127.34 plus VAT per pair.

Leading suspension specialist GAZ now has a GAZ Gold coilover suspension kit for the VW Golf Mk7.

The new kit is suitable for street, track day and even outright competition vehicles – especially those that have been subject to extensive power upgrades.

GAZ Gold coilovers are provided for the front with GAZ adjustable dampers, lowered springs and height adjustable spring seats for the rear.

GAZ Gold coilovers are produced with a gas cell in the outer reservoir. This helps prevent cavitation. The units are then filled with a multi grade high viscosity index fluid to help resist fade under extreme conditions.

GAZ Gold units are bump and rebound adjustable while on the vehicle by means of an easily accessible adjuster knob.

Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment and all units are individually tested before leaving the factory and covered by a two year warranty.

Part: GGA451 GAZ Gold Coilover Kit – VW Golf Mk7 RRP £1064.26 plus. VAT.

Gaz now offer fully adjustable GAZ Gold suspension kits for both the 1996-98 and 1999on Ford Ka models. The coilover struts are both height and damper rate adjustable. Ride height is altered by means of adjustable spring seats.

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 controlled by an adjuster knob on the damper body. The GAZ coilovers come 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.

All the units are individually tested before leaving the factory and are covered by a 2 year warranty.

The GAZ Gold Coilover Kit for Ford Ka can be ordered as follows:
• Ford Ka 1996-98 – part number GGA444 at 1,024.30 +VAT.
• Ford Ka 1999on – part number GGA445 at 1,024.30 +VAT.

GAZ can produce these kits with ‘road use’ or ‘full race’ valving as required and supply the appropriate springs for the intended purpose.

Summer’s on the way and hopefully we’ll be able to get a little pleasure driving done before the autumn sets in. To add to the fun Fidanza, Americaʼs leading performance flywheel specialist, has a direct replacement lightweight aluminium flywheel to improve the performance of the classic Triumph Spitfire 1500 and GT-6.

The Fidanza 172551 aluminium flywheel replaces the heavy standard flywheel and improves the power-to-weight ratio thus making the engine more responsive and improving performance and acceleration.

The Fidanza aluminium flywheel is made from high-quality machined 6061 T6 aluminium with a 1050 steel friction surface, CNC machined fastener holes and chamfers with military grade fasteners. The friction surface of the flywheel (shown with its green protective coating in the image) is a replaceable steel plate, so when the surface eventually becomes worn it can be replaced without requiring a new flywheel.

Every Fidanza flywheel application is a unique design that has taken into account the overall balance, critical clearances, tensile strength, heat dissipation and optimum weight saving that strikes a careful balance between reducing the original weight and maintaining a smooth idle for day-to-day street driving.

Fidanza flywheel 172151 is suitable for:
• Triumph GT-6 2.5 1971-1975
• Triumph Spitfire 1500 1973

RRP: $480.43, but currently on sale on Fidanza.com at the discounted price of just $408.36 + shipping, handling & import tax.

The classic air-cooled, rear engined VW Beetle was always a noisy beast and heat from the rear engine could make rear seat passengers quite uncomfortable. As with most classic cars from this era, insulation from road noise was the preserve of the likes of Rolls Royce and Bentley; drivers of ‘everyday’ cars just had to learn to live with it.

Now, heat and noise management specialists DEI has come up with a kit that tackles all these problems head on to give classic Beetle owners a ride more akin to modern cars.

The kit features DEI’s premium D-Mat™ insulation paired with Boom Mat sound-damping material to address both heat and noise problems. The ultra-lightweight D-Mat layer covers firewalls, headliners and other areas with a superior heat barrier, while the peel-and-stick Boom Mat material eliminates unwanted engine and road noise and damps vibrations.The kit’s components are CNC-cut for precise fitment and ease of installation.

DEI kit no. 51420 is suitable for both the standard VW Beetle (1950-’72) and the Super Beetle (1971-’72). The kit retails at £138.19 from DEI’s website but is subject to shipping, import tax and handling charges.
