A DAMPED BOXSTER
Oct 21st
An interesting piece for owners of Boxster-based body conversion kits, perhaps.
Although it was launched over twenty years ago the Porsche Boxster ‘S’ 3.2-litre 986 is still a great handling and highly desirable sports car. However, it’s quite easy to improve things even further with a GAZ Gold suspension kit.
The Gaz Gold units are both height and damper rate adjustable. Ride height is adjustable through 80mm of adjustment.
The height adjusters have a coarse acme form thread for ease of adjustment and the damper units are black zinc plated to ensure that they remain in good order even after considerable service.

STAY SAFE
Oct 21st
Know anyone who needs to leave the house by car first thing in the morning but who might be at risk due to drinking alcohol the night before?
Of course, we all like to think that everyone we know, including ourselves, are sensible and would never drink and drive especially when feeling hungover – but what if we didn’t have a hangover and didn’t know that we were doing just that without being aware of it?
At Christmas with alcohol consumption so much higher, everyone needs to make absolutely sure that they don’t risk their licence, their life or the lives of others More >
A GREAT CAUSE

SURF’S UP – SCOOBYBITS RELAUNCH MURTAYA
Oct 14th
Great to hear that the Impreza-based Murtaya is about to make a return to the kitcar scene. After being away for several years it’s now under the control of Subaru expert and boss of Scoobybits, Jason MacDonald at his base in Cornwall.
The car was recently re-launched at the Watergate Sprint event in Newquay and Jason is very enthusiastic about the future. Scoobybits are already a one-stop destination for Impreza owners so it’s a logical step for the company to also encompass the Murtaya.
Jason told me: “Lots of people get very excited about building their own car but can get confused More >

MR2-based SPR2 takes shape
Very privileged to get a sneak peek at the new SPR2 from Blackwell Sports Cars, which is rapidly reaching fruition.
The Essex-based manufacturer, run by the human dynamo that is Wayne Blackwell, are reporting decent interest in their existing SPR1 body conversion kit (based on Mazda MX-5) lately and have teamed up recently with a new GRP manufacturer and can now offer a slightly revised kit package to allow for the recent trend of fitting MX-6 V6 engines to the SPR1.
They can now offer a revised bonnet with twin air-scoops to allow the bigger engine to gulp in More >
