EASY START
May 17th
More starting torque without the bulk – Tuff Stuff Performance High Torque Gear Reduction Starters deliver enough torque to turn over engines with compression ratios of up to 15:1, but are compact and lightweight to make the most of limited engine space.
They’re smaller than OE starters but feature a 3bhp motor that draws half the amps of a full sized starter motor. The adjustable mounting block gives you the extra room you need to clear headers, oil pans, and chassis components, and the clocked billet aluminium drive end lets you reposition your starter as you add upgrades.

NEW LOOK AT A RETRO CLASSIC!
May 10th
First class
We’ll be featuring the RS Retro RS200 replica in a forthcoming issue of TKC Mag, but the debut-making Essex-based company impressed many people with their take on this classic Ford theme at last weekend’s Stoneleigh show.
There have been a good number of RS200 replica produced over the years, some bad and some really good ones amongst them. However, I’m not sure if I’ve seen one so beautifully executed as this.
Panel fit, finish and general feel of the car were exemplary.
