GAZ now has an adjustable damper set for the classic Viva HC which also fits the high performance Magnum model (here’s hoping that Vauxhall revive that one day!).

GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. Adjustment can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side.

GAZ can set the dampers up with valving for general road use but they will also be suitable for the occasional track slalom and sprint use; alternatively, they can be set up for serious racing use if you so wish.

GAZ GT dampers feature a zinc plated body and have a protective plastic sleeve to keep them looking good and working well for long into the future.

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

GAZ adjustable dampers for the HC Viva can be ordered as part number GT6-4696 for the front at £63.70 each and rear GT dampers as GT6-4697 also at £63.70 each plus VAT.

The affordable and compact MGZR makes a great trackday or clubman level competition car. Now, GAZ offers coilover units for the 2001on MGZR that 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 anodised 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 two year warranty.

The front GAZ GP Race Coilovers retail at £325.19 each + springs and VAT.

The complete front and rear kit with springs can be ordered as part GGA457 which retails at £1046.26 plus VAT.

GAZ produces this kit with ‘full race’ valving but can also produce a ‘road use ‘ version and supply the appropriate springs for the intended purpose.

The Jaguar S Type was produced from 1964-1966. It was a technically more sophisticated development of the Jaguar Mk 2, which it sold alongside.

The S-type made its mark in Jaguar history by providing the styling cues, and the name, for the later retro-styled S Type which was made from 1999 to 2008.

By now most original S Types will be showing signs of age, particularly in the handling department. GAZ can provide dampers that will not only restore the ride and road holding but also offer an upgrade to adjustable damping rates.

GAZ fully adjustable GT dampers enable the damping bump and rebound rate to be adjusted to suit the conditions and driving style. They have adjustable damping rates which can be altered by means of an easily accessible knob on the side of the units.

Fidanza now offers a performance lightweight aluminum flywheel for the 1987-1992 Supra Turbo.

The Fidanza design team first analyzed the original to see where engineering modifications were needed. They identified that better performance would be achieved through improvements to balance and critical clearances as well as the overall design.

The Fidanza flywheel is machined from the highest quality aluminum and manufactured to deliver optimum tensile strength, heat dissipation and weight reduction. By not becoming too light, poor idle and driving problems (as found with some of the ultra-lightweight competitors) are avoided. Fidanza flywheels aren’t always the lightest, but they are the best!

Benefits:
• High performance and lighter weight to free additional horsepower
• Military grade fasteners for reliability and strength
• Bolt-on replaceable friction plate – no need to replace the compete flywheel when the friction surface
eventually wears out
• Stepped dowels
• Billet aluminum body
• Replaceable hardened 1050 steel ring gear
• Faster throttle response
• 40-60 percent lighter than stock for quicker acceleration
• Heat treated friction plate for optimum grip and long life

Order as partnumber 130591 directly from www.fidanza.com at $468.00 (plus shipping and import tax).

The kit can be ordered as part number 624163100 and retails at £145.00 inc. VAT.

The kit is suitable for:
Ford Sierra RS Cosworth 3 door 1986-1987
