In keeping with its policy of constant improvement, Mini Spares is now stocking a new version of the Rebound Buffer that uses a poly material rather than rubber and features a stainless steel base.

The kit will transform the car and make it stand out from the crowd.
The TVR Tamora 2-seater sports car was introduced in 2002 to fill the gap left by the company’s Chimaera and Griffith models and was the entry-level model of the TVR range. With a 0–60 mph time of 4.2 seconds and a top speed of over 170 mph (270 km/h) this is a pretty potent car. Now, GAZ has produced a monotube suspension to ensure all of that power handles properly.
GAZ gas-charged Monotube Coilovers are far lighter than other types of coilover damper. They also make more use of lightweight billet aluminium parts that helps reduce unsprung weight thus making them ideal for serious trackday or competition use. They also react quicker and can be used in an inverted position.
GAZ Monotube Coilover kits come with silicone chrome springs and the required mounting hardware. The spring platforms are adjustable to allow the ride height to be altered as required and the bump and rebound settings can be adjusted by means of a knurled collar at the top (or bottom if used inverted).
Like all GAZ coilovers the monotubes carry a two year warranty for non race use.
Bespoke valving and customer’s preferred spring rates are also available.
GAZ Monotube Coilover Suspension Kits for theTVR Tamora retail at £1104.38 + carriage & VAT

Although SAAB went bankrupt several years ago the cars still enjoy a great following. In fact, according to Wikipedia, a psychologist at Ruhr University Bochum,named Rüdiger Hossiep found that “Saab drivers have the highest level of psychological involvement with their cars, being over ten times more passionate than the average Volkswagen driver”. No doubt SAAB 9-3 owners will be interested to hear that Fidanza can further improve their driving experience with a lightweight flywheel.
Fidanza’s aluminum flywheels are made from the highest quality 6061 T6 aluminum for superb tensile strength, incredible heat dissipation and (of course) a reduction in weight that delivers faster acceleration, quicker throttle response, better vehicle braking and increased clutch efficiency, as well as long lasting durability.
A Fidanza flywheel can mate with many types of clutch material, including: organic kevlar, ceramic, metallic and sintered iron. Most companies design their flywheels so that they can be refaced. However, Fidanza makes the whole friction surface replaceable so the flywheel will never require resurfacing or total replacement. When the friction surface wears, just that alone needs to be replaced, thus saving both time and money. The pattern for the fasteners is a computer design that keeps the friction surface from warping under extreme use. Fidanza doesn’t just use more fasteners because they can, Fidanza uses them because they are needed.
The flywheel for the Saab 9-3 2003 -2007, 2.0 litre can be ordered directly from Fidanza.com as part number 136931. Fidanza can also supply flywheels for the SAAB 9-2X models.
Fidanza flywheels are available in Europe through Limora with distributors in Germany, France, Poland, Spain and Italy and dealers throughout Europe and the UK. Prices from the Fidanza.com website start at $426.14 but will be subject to import tax, handling and shipping. Contact Limora for local prices.
