  • Dezent Launch New Motion 2 Wheel

    Alcar, the UK’s largest wheel importer and wholesaler, has released details of its superb new alloy wheel from Dezent; The Motion 2.

    As the stunning sequel to the first Motion design, the new rim showcases an even more aesthetically pleasing ‘Y’ spoke profile that tips its hat towards some of the great competition designs of the ‘80s and ‘90s. In fact, the wheel doesn’t just boast trackside looks, thanks to a unique heat-treating process during casting and an impressively light 6.6 kg weight on the 15” version, these are genuine track-ready wheels that have already been proven in the heat of battle in the Toyo Tyres Racing Saloon series.

    Three colour finishes are available; Black with a fine red detail, white with a fine blue detail or classic silver for those who prefer a traditional look. Both 6.5 x 15” and 7 x 17” sizes are available in a dual-drilled 4x 100/108 stud pattern to fit most popular 4 stud cars. Prices start at £68 + VAT per alloy wheel for the 15” size. So, whether you’re regularly chasing podiums in club-racing – or just want to look like you are, these might very well fit the bill.

  • Cobra Springs Release Nissan Cube Suspension Upgrade

    Leading suspension manufacturer Cobra has released a superb new spring upgrade kit for the latest version of the quirky Nissan cube. The cute leftfield MPV has many virtues, but up until now, pin-point handling hasn’t been one of them!

    Cobra’s engineering led solution uses pre-fatigued and shot peened springs to lower the car by around 30mm. Not only does this do wonders for the stance of the geometric Nissan, but also adds a significant dynamic improvement to the whole driving experience. Turn-in and general handling are greatly improved without ruining the Nissan’s compliant factory ride quality and best of all, the springs are designed to work perfectly with the factory dampers.

    With a thick protective powder coat and numerous anti-corrosive treatments, it comes as little surprise that all Cobra kits come with full TUV approval and a class-leading 5 year warranty. Prices are as yet unconfirmed, but expected to be in line with the rest of the Cobra range.

  • New Pipercross Panel Filter For Audi TTRS

    Filtration specialist Pipercross has released a superb new panel filter kit for the much vaunted TT flagship, the RS. The 174 mph supercar baiter really responds well to breathing modifications, and the latest Pipercross design offers improved airflow and performance, without infringing the factory warranty.

    Designed as a direct replacement for the somewhat asthmatic OEM part, the Pipercross filter fits in mere seconds to the factory airbox. The patented design uses a unique multi-laminated open cell polyurethane foam construction, meaning the Pipercross panel can actually filter down to a much finer rate than the OEM part, preventing any foreign particles from entering the induction tract and protecting the engine. This same construction means that the filter can also go longer between service intervals than even leading cotton-gauze filters, before needing to be cleaned.

    Best of all, with over 30% more airflow than the original part, tangible performance improvements can be felt, particularly in the engine’s mid range.

    Priced at just £34.85 including VAT, it makes for a meaty TT!
