WHAT A CHOKER!
Aug 1st
When replacing a water auto-choke carburettor with a manual choke version an installer has to source a choke cable and then join the heater pipes together; these tasks are often laborious and expensive. The new Auto-Choke to Manual Conversion Kit from Webcon solves both problems.
Webcon part number 4504800000 contains a top-quality British made 57in choke cable, a mounting bracket and screws, plus a specifically designed 16mm aluminium heater pipe connector and clips. The Webcon Auto-Choke to Manual Conversion Kit is priced at just £35.84 inc VAT.

KEEP COOL
Aug 1st
A company that has made 35-million radiators, intercoolers, A/C condensers, and other cooling system components probably knows how to build stuff for performance use. CSF Radiator has applied that experience to radiators, fluid coolers, and intercooler cores for high performance and racing. Summit Racing is a major stockist of their products.
CSF air-to-air intercooler cores are designed for folks who want to fabricate a custom-fit intercooler. They are available in cross-flow and vertical-flow designs in multiple sizes.
Summit Racing also carries CSF’s Magnum Series intercooler cores; at 6in wide they’re the world’s thickest cores and are rated up to 1400bhp. If that More >
AMPLIFICATION IS THE ANSWER
Aug 1st
Pioneer reckons that they have changed the game with the latest, compact class D GM-D duo of four channel amplifiers. Both the GM-D8704 and its bigger brother, the GM-D9704, can muster Pioneer’s famous open and smooth sound concept, yet do so with efficiency and volume levels you don’t ever really require in a car.
System matching is simple because both amps can be bridged to offer serious power output over two channels at 2Ω resistance, or run in four-channel mode to kick out 100w RMS (4Ω) 4x150w RMS (2Ω) for the 8704, or 4x130w RMS (4Ω) and 4x200w RMS (2Ω).
When bridged More >
GOOD AS GOLD!

I’m a paid-up fan of the work of automotive clay modeller, Paul Goldsmith. The man is a genius as far as I am concerned.
We also like his body conversion work based around MGF. Indeed, we built one of his Abster kits as a project car for TKC Magazine.
His latest creation, the RSG has been unveiled and it’s another winner, as far as I can see. This one is based on both MGF and TF and is another restyle that retains the character of the original cars, which in the TF’s case is now 14-years young and beautifully and tastefully lifts More >

KEEP THOSE GAZ DAMPERS DRY AND COSY
Jul 25th
GAZ dampers come with some of the best anti-corrosion finishes on the market and GAZ
Gold coil-overs are finished with a black zinc-plating to ensure that they remain corrosion free well into the future.
However, GAZ recognises that although they may be protected against corrosion they can still get clogged with mud, dirt and dust; this can hinder adjustment, as well as making it an unpleasant job.
Now GAZ is offering a simple solution in the form of durable fabric covers, available in three sizes to fit all GAZ dampers and coil-overs.
The covers are simple to fit with a Velcro-type fastening and will More >
