Now we know that racing a Citroen 2CV may not be everyone’s idea of motorsport, but there are quite a few Deux Chevaux racers out there. If you ever feel the need to get into this quirky sport at least you’ll know where to get race dampers…!

GAZ offer race dampers for the 2CV in its GT Adjustable Damper range. The dampers have a larger body than the ones GAZ offers for 2CV road cars; and their rate can be adjusted by means of an easily accessible adjuster knob on the side enabling the owner to ‘trim’ the suspension system to suit the track and driving style.

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

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

GAZ dampers for the 2CV can also be specially made with valving to suit road use and reduce the roll associated with the standard 2CV.

GAZ can supply dampers for all 2CV models made from July 1975 to 1990. Order as GT9-2038 for the front and GT9-2039 for the rear. Retail price £103.62 plus carriage and VAT per damper.

Fidanza now offers a performance lightweight aluminum flywheel that will fit the 1959-1964 Jaguar Mark II & XKE with a 3.8 engine. The Fidanza design team first analyzed the original flywheel to see where engineering improvements could be made. They identified that better performance would be achieved through improvements to overall 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 issues (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
