MINI SPARES WILL KEEP YOU COOL
Dec 10th
Before trying different radiators and running the risk of over-cooling your engine, you should fit an electric cooling fan to ensure that both engine oil and water are maintained at the correct temperatures.
The KLM1418 electric cooling fan from MIni Spares will only operate as required thus saving on power and ensuring the engine temperature is maintained at the optimum level.
The fan will also remove the parasitic power loss that accompanies an engine driven cooling fan thus releasing more engine power, allowing a quicker warm up period, reducing engine wear and improving fuel economy and passenger comfort.
The KLM1418 retails at £68.48 More >
STOPPER PAINT!
Dec 10th
Brake calipers come in for more than their fair share of abuse, having to cope with high temperatures and damaging brake dust, which is why they tend to show their age quicker than most other automotive parts.
There have been brake caliper paints on the market for renovating or protecting calipers for some time but for best results something tougher than standard paint is required – but that comes with its own problems.
Stove enamel needs to be heated in an oven (not your cooker, for gawd sake! – Ed!) to cure and two-pack paint is too toxic to use at home. More >

Caterham Seven kits now available on finance
Caterham Cars has launched a new, approved finance scheme, which, for the first time ever offers customers the chance to fund a Seven in self-assembly form. Potentially a very important move.
Previously only available for new fully built and pre-owned Sevens, the new Caterham finance scheme provides an accessible ownership proposition for fans of the Seven wishing to build a car themselves.

BUMPSTICKS FROM KENT
Dec 3rd
Just when you thought that virtually every modification to the Ford Cosworth BDA race engine possible had been done, Kent Cams has come up with not one, but two new profiles.
Coming up with an improved modification for this well-tried engine wasn’t easy and it involved some engineering trickery as well as radical thinking. Most performance camshafts involve increasing the lift by making the lobes bigger, but there comes a point when the lobes would be too big to go through the bearing housings and the camshaft would not be able to be installed.
Kent has taken a new approach to the More >
