OOOH, I SAY!
Oct 3rd
Big fan of Welsh manufacturer, MST Cars, who have just added a third model to their range which already features Mk1 and Mk2 Ford Escort-inspired cars available in kit and fully built form.
They’ve recently unveiled their take on the Escort Mk2 RS2000, called the MST EVO-X, with the ‘X’ referring to Ford Motorsport’s Widebody X-Pack option available for the RS2000, in period.
Just like MST’s other models, the EVO-X looks exquisite., particularly with that ‘droopsnoot’ front end.
Two normally-aspirated four-cylinder engines are available with the Duratec 2.5-litre standard complete with 275bhp. The range-topper is a Millington Diamond engine, which delivers 350bhp.

UNDER PRESSURE
Oct 3rd
Bad hot starting can be the result of a build-up of pressure in the fuel feed line of a carburettor-equipped car; this causes the carburettor to flood either during hot soak or while cranking.
Some manufacturers addressed this problem by fitting a fuel return line to the tank; however, this is a cumbersome solution for owners of cars without this feature as it involves making irreversible modifications to the car. Fortunately, Webcon has the answer.
Webcon’s Fuel Line Pressure Relief Kit provides extra fuel hose, clips and two tee pieces (one with a valve and one without) to provide a by-pass loop More >

WEAR YOU COAT!
Oct 3rd
Many clearcoats have a tendency to become opaque or ‘yellow’ over time, especially the high-gloss types. The coating experts at ZyCoat say their ZyClear Clear Coat is the first gloss clearcoat that won’t go yellow on you, even when applied to parts that see high temperatures.
ZyClear can be sprayed or wiped on directly to steel, stainless steel, and other metals. It will protect aluminium from oxidation and anodised surfaces from UV discolouration and can be used as a topcoat for painted, chromed, polished and powdercoated parts.
ZyClear also makes a dandy topcoat for parts like headers, turbos, manifolds, exhaust systems and intercoolers More >
