Although mint condition Peugeot 205s are now commanding record prices there are still bargains out there for those who are prepared to look . The search is well-worth it as, with a little work, this little hot hatch makes a great entry level race or track day car. One of the jobs necessary would be to replace the ageing rear dampers with GAZ fully adjustable GT Race Dampers.

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

GAZ GT dampers feature a black 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 for added peace of mind.

Rears retail at £69.59 each plus VAT.

The summer in the UK might be short but the hot weather can certainly do some damage to your vehicle’s engine if you don’t keep your cooling system in good shape.

Fortunately, the solution is simple. Just add a bottle of DEI Radiator Relief™ to your coolant and your vehicle’s operating temperature will be reduced by up to 30°F. (16.66° Celsius).

Engine wear will be minimised, the temperature gauge needle will stay away from the red section when sitting in summer traffic jams and you won’t be bothered by an overheating radiator ruining your day out.

Radiator Relief™ works by transferring heat more efficiently through the radiator than water or water/antifreeze can. Radiator Relief™ also includes a corrosion inhibitor that reduces mineral deposits in the engine. It is the first additive to maintain pH levels which would otherwise fluctuate over time resulting in radiator core damage. Additionally, Radiator Relief™ contains an anti-foaming agent to keep the coolant flowing smoothly through the pipes and galleries so that it can do its job without hindrance.

There’s no mixing required, just pour the contents of the bottle straight into the radiator filler. It is totally compatible with water and all anti-freeze products. It is also 100% biodegradable, non-corrosive and non-toxic.Thus it is safe to handle and store, as well as being totally safe to use in alloy engines and radiators.

Radiator Relief is available for petrol engines, For Diesel engines with generally larger cooling systems there is ‘Radiator Relief For Diesels’ which is a more concentrated version.

Both are available in 473ml bottles which retail at £13.16 including VAT each.

Cobra Sport, AmD’s racing partner, recently introduced a performance cat-back exhaust system for the BMW M140i & M235i. The new exhaust system provides a 21% decrease in weight over the original and improves gas flow. On its own it will bring the torque figures up in line with those of the M2 and provides a 0.3 second improvement on the 0-60mph figures. For owners who want even more there is the choice of a sports CAT or a unique decat downpipe. Team any of these options up with an AmD remap and the whole thing exceeds all expectations. Due to increased efficiency, the combination creates more power than just the sum of the gains that would be achieved by the exhaust, downpipe and software added together.

Because the AmD remap has been designed specifically to work with the Cobra Sport exhaust system 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!
