MINISPARES FEEL THE MINI POWER
Oct 18th
The GXE1002RACE Powerlite Lightweight Race Alternator is identical to Mini Spare’s GXE1002 competition alternator but with a larger pulley to prevent overcharging on race cars which spend the majority of their time running at high RPM.
The alternator is suitable for all pre-1997 Mini A-Series-powered cars and weighs just 3.2kg with an output of 55-amps.
It has been designed as a direct bolt-on replacement on pre ’97 Minis; however, a multi-position mounting bracket means that it is also ideal for other race cars, custom cars and kitcar applications. It does not take the standard Mini alternator plug so a small amount of More >

WE ALL LIKE A BIT OF BLING, MISTER!
Oct 10th
Very impressed by Carnauba Spray Wax from the marvellously-named, Mr Bling car care.
It’s an effective product good on any painted surface, plastic, metal, chrome, glass or vinyl surface.
An easy-on; easy-off wax that also has the ability to protect surfaces that it’s applied too, while also giving a strong hydrophobic barrier against rain. It beads well. I know because we’ve had lots of rain!
The deep gloss shine was mirror-like and Carnauba Spray Wax is a water-based environmentally-friendly product with no harsh chemical, abrasives or silicones, meaning it’s bodyshop safe.
The formula contains T1 carnauba wax and natural oils that aid that ‘just More >
