  • Eibach Launch Nissan 370Z Roadster Kit

    With the launch of the latest Nissan 370Z, Nissan has ensured that the rich tradition of the fabled ‘Z’ cars has been continued. A truly capable performer in standard trim, the 370Z is a great GT, but with the addition of the latest Eibach products, it can also serve duty as a genuine sports car, with truly impeccable handling credentials.

    The Eibach Pro-Kit lowers the car by approximately 30mm, bringing the roadster’s centre of gravity closer to terra firma, reducing roll under cornering and endowing the Nissan with an aggressive stance.

    The Pro-Kit’s trump card is its progressive winding technology that uses a softer part of the spring for everyday driving, yet utilises a much stiffer section under hard cornering, meaning true precision in the turns, balanced with real comfort on the straights.

    The springs are pre-fatigued to eliminate sagging before undergoing Eibach’s OEM-quality surface and paint preparation which is backed by a full 5 year warranty and full TUV approval, The kit is priced at £173.04 + VAT.

    Owners looking for the ultimate turn-in can also opt for the Pro-Spacer kit, which uses precision machined hub-centring spacers to effect a track increase. Available in a variety of widths to work with both OEM and aftermarket wheels, they make a tangible difference to the car’s point-to-point ability. These are priced from £81.74 + VAT for the 10mm versions.

  • Rotorstock 7 latest news

    Rotorstock is a real “day at the races” for all Japanese car fans. This isn’t just another Japanese Car show; it’s a full-throttle track day, but with a laid back and friendly vibe off-track.

    New for Rotorstock 7 is the unique SPRINT CIRCUIT, which is unavailable at any other Santa Pod Show this year! Mixing a combination of high-speed corners and tight hairpins, this track is designed to test grip, agility, and driver skill to the max. The best news of all is that there is NO FEE to have a go on the sprint circuit!

    This fantastic addition to the show simply re-enforces what is guaranteed to be a great day at Santa Pod anyway:

    The HKS DRAG SERIES hits the drag strip with its long list of record-breaking competitors, and the famous ¼ mile is also open for RUN WHAT YA BRUNG, where anyone with a Japanese car can hit the strip.

    The Live Action Arena will be hosting non-stop DRIFTING with passenger rides, and as usual, CLUB DISPLAYS and a SHOW CAR COMPETITION will provide a huge static display worthy of lots of attention.

    The huge sprint track and the huge power of cars on the strip are in stark contrast to the teeny, tiny entry fee to get in.

    Tickets are available from just £12 in advance, and that includes FREE entry to the sprint circuit, FREE grandstand seats for watching the HKS Drag Series, and clubs wanting in on the action get their hard-standing pitches at no extra cost too.

    The Run What Ya Brung is just £25 for unlimited runs on the dragstrip with performance print-outs included.

    Rotorstock 7 takes place on August 21st at Santa Pod Raceway.

    Richbrook’s Official Ford Collection was introduced in 2006 and instantly became a best-selling line for the manufacturer. Offering a diverse range of products at every price point, the portfolio now includes everything from airbag-safe seat covers, through to gearknobs, oil filler caps and air fresheners.

    Commenting on the new deal, Richbrook MD, Piers Richings said. ‘We’re delighted to have been chosen by Ford to supply their dealers. Although we supply several manufacturers to OEM level, it’s always very gratifying when a company of Ford’s standing recognises our commitment to quality and design in this way. All of our accessories can be added with full manufacturer approval, meaning that warranties and factory functionality are left totally untouched.
