INTAKE OF BREATH FOR ZETEC
May 13th
The Ford Zetec engine has been the tuners engine of choice for over 20-years thanks to its lightweight, low cost and ease of tuning. Tuners know that one of the easiest ways to liberate power from a Zetec is to fit a pair of Weber DCOE carburettors.
The key component in that conversion is the intake manifold and Webcon can provide a top quality, UK manufactured, 60mm deep intake manifold that allows fitment of both Weber DCOE carburettors as well as DCOE flange EFI throttle bodies.
The Webcon Zetec DCOE manifold is available as part number MW5000 priced at £335.65 inc VAT.

Love this very cool period-looking radio from Car Builder Solutions. It cleverly disguises the fact it has Bluetooth®, DAB+ and is hands-free compatible.

This item could be of real interest to kitcar enthusiasts. Heatedwindscreen.com part of Ricky Evans Motorsport (Glass) Ltd of Tamworth produces a range of standard and heated windscreens to suit all sorts of classic cars which would naturally enough include a few classic replicas, too, no doubt.
The heated option could be a bonus for those that use their kitcars during the colder months as once it’s wired and switched on, small tungsten filaments within the laminate raise the surface temperature of the glass, which is exactly the same thing that the screen on your modern daily driver does.

CLASSIC MOTORS FROM MOUNTUNE
May 13th
Now that David Mountain is back in the hot seat at Mountune he’s just announced a return to his roots with a new division called Mountune Classic Engines.
From the title, it’s pretty easy to work out what the core business will be and much of it will naturally be classic Ford engines although David is happy to look at other stuff. As he cut his teeth under Glyn Swift at Swiftune on Classic Mini engines, I expect a few A-Series to be heading his way.
