The Ford Ka might not be the first car that springs to mind when considering a subject for modification, racing or trackdays but GAZ can still offer a GAZ Gold kit to enable the little compact to handle along with the best.

Ride height is adjustable through 60mm of adjustment and the damper units are fitted with anodised adjusters for long life. The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

Damper rates are also 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 to reduce fade under racing and trackday conditions.

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

GAZ Gold Coilover Kits for Ford Ka retail at £929.07 plus VAT per kit. Order as GGA444 for 1996-98 models and GGA445 for 1999 on versions.

Fidanza is, at the time of writing, putting the final touches to its lightweight aluminium flywheels for the MG Midget and Austin Healey Sprite and they should be available by the time you read this.

Fidanza lightweight flywheels offer the following benefits:

• Faster throttle response and quicker acceleration
• Additional horsepower to the wheels (reduced parasitic losses)
• Smoother, faster shifting
• Easier braking, better slowing (due to reduced rotational mass)
• Reduced clutch wear and improved efficiency (from better heat dissipation)
• Cost savings and longevity (thanks to Fidanza’s replaceable green friction plate – no need to replace
entire flywheel when worn)
• Potential for increased fuel economy (if you can keep your foot off the gas!)
• Quality and reliability (made in the USA from top grade materials)

Fidanza part number 126481 is for the 1961-’63 MG Midget and AH Sprite with the 948cc engine and part number 126751 is for the 1966-’74 1275 models.

We’re all familiar with using heat shrink to protect and secure wiring terminals and joints, but now Design Engineering Inc has taken the process one step further and is offering heat shrink tubing in a variety of lengths and diameters to protect whole wiring looms.

DEI Heat Shrink Tubes are professional grade flexible polyolefin tubing that provides protection from dirt, dust, solvents, and foreign materials as well as excellent electrical insulation and strain relief. The over-expanded tubing easily fits over the ends of wires and connectors and then shrinks down to 33% of it’s original diameter for a snug water-tight protective seal without a reduction in tube length.
The tough material has functional properties that have been tested and proven to conform to U.S. Military Spec DTL-23053/5C. It is also flame retardant and has an operating range between -67°F to 275°F and can withstand temperatures of up to 394°F for a short duration (30 to 60 mins). It is easy to install: slip over the wire and apply heat at 120 to 180°F using heat gun to shrink to final size.
Prices start at just $12.16.

We all know that Burton is the place to go for all things classic Ford, but what about a Ford Escort M1/2 with a transplanted Vauxhall XE engine in it? It’s a popular conversion and now Burton can supply a Simpson stainless steel exhaust manifold to suit.

This stainless steel exhaust manifold has been handmade to provide maximum performance whilst ensuring it visually looks like a work of art at the same time. The photograph only gives an indication of how amazing these manifolds look like in the flesh!

The manifold is manufactured from 304 grade stainless steel with a wall thickness of 1.2mm. Joints are gas purged TIG welded. Gas purging provides two benefits. Firstly it prevents oxidisation in the weld which would compromise the strength and corrosive resistance of the joint. Secondly it allows the weld to remain smooth inside the pipe thus increasing exhaust gas flow.

All bends in the tube are mandrel bent to ensure there is no reduction in diameter throughout the bend.

All primary pipes are constructed to an equal length to ensure smooth and equal performance from each cylinder.

All collectors are a fully welded merge type which are designed to maximise gas flow.

Burton offers four versions of this manifold:
Manifold with a 3” exit for 2.4 16v Vauxhall XE engine. Part No. SIMPM04A: £780.00 incl. VAT
Manifold with a 2.75” exit for 2.4 16v Vauxhall XE engine. Part No. SIMPM04: £780.00 incl. VAT
Manifold with a 2.75” exit for 2.0 16v Vauxhall XE engine. Part No. SIMPM03A: £780.00 incl. VAT
Manifold with a 2.5” exit for 2.0 16v Vauxhall XE engine. Part No. SIMPM03: £780.00 incl. VAT

Note: Must use with World Cup crossmember. Does not fit with servo towers. Does not fit Capri.

Convenience and quality come together in the design and manufacture of this sturdy powder coated Wheel and Tyre Trolley: equally practical for transport in the pit and paddock or for storage back at base.

The trolleys are also commonly used by many vehicle servicing workshops or alloy wheel refurbishment companies where wheels need to be easily moved around.

Demountable tyre friendly round cross beams reduce the marking of tyres and are available in 1300mm, 1500mm and now 1600mm internal lengths. The height of the top beams can be adjusted in 3 positions depending on the diameter of your tyres and to reduce the overall trolley height.

Two fixed and two fully-rotating locking & braking castor wheels are designed for strength and ease of movement around the pits, paddock and workshop.

The B-G Racing Wheel and Tyre Trolley is manufactured from high grade mild steel with a durable grey powder coated finish.

Price: From £347.99 inc VAT.

Increasingly often thieves are unlocking and stealing vehicles whilst the unsuspecting owner is indoors with their car key.

Thieves are using signal amplifiers to take the
weak signal from the key fob in your house and
amplify it to make it seen by your vehicle as if it
was right in their hands.

Putting your Keyless Entry Car Key Fob in the B-G Faraday bag blocks the signal therefore stopping thieves from amplifying it and unlocking your car.

With a rise in vehicle keyless entry systems there has been a steady increase in the number of thefts as the technology to manipulate these systems has become cheaper and easier to obtain.

Just place your Keyless Entry Car Key fob inside the Faraday bag to block the signal and help protect your car.

Price: From £9.99 inc. VAT
