  • Kei Racing Release New RS55 Rim. Red Hot!

    The latest alloy wheel design from Kei Racing showcases the very latest in casting and finishing technology. Aimed squarely at the Jap and track day markets, this stunning new wheel ticks all sorts of boxes!

    First up is the design.  A deeply concaved spoke profile gives the rim an aggressive stance, particularly when ordered in the staggered sizes available. 18 x 8” and 18 x 9” will be available, as will 19 x 8.5” and 19 x 9.5”. To begin with, the wheel will be available in a 5 x 114.3” PCD in offsets to suit cars like the Subaru Impreza, Evo, 350 and 370Z and of course, all Skylines.

    The spokes ‘float’ above the inner rim, leaving an attractive visual space that accents the depth of the rim behind and also helps to aid brake cooling.

    Then there are the finishes available, Either Hyperblack with a red anodized detail, as shown here – or later in the season, Kei Racing will release a matt black version with blue detailing. There will also be a matt gunmetal finish in 18” only. For the ultimate finishing touch, Kei Racing already offer matching or contrasting lightweight anodised nuts.

    But best of all is the weight, or more to the point, the lack of it!. Thanks to the innovative pressure-cast technology used in the construction of the RS55, the 18 x 9” pictured weighs in at just 9.9 kilos. Perfect for reducing unsprung weight and improving road and track manners.

    Despite this all-star line up of features and stunning build quality, prices will be in line with the rest of the highly competitive Kei Racing range.

  • Tighten Your Belt With RCM Timing Kits

    Current Time Attack Champions Roger Clark Motorsport have provided the perfect solution to Impreza owners of all years looking maintain optimum performance without breaking the bank.

    Their carefully selected timing belt kits use the finest OEM-quality components to replace all idlers, tensioners and belt, but at a fraction of the price of the genuine Subaru parts. This is despite, in the case of the kit shown here, the Cosworth timing belt featuring Kevlar reinforcement where the OEM belt doesn’t.

    As the kits are direct service replacements for the original parts, fitting couldn’t be simpler. All parts come with entirely comparable warranties compared to the factory items and have been subjected to rigourous testing as part of RCM’s far-reaching Motorsport programme. As the engineers behind the famously reliable 890bhp 2.0 litre engine that has powered their Gobstopper race car to so many championship titles, it’s fair to say that they can sort the wheat from the chaff when it comes to sourcing componentry…

    A typical example of the savings possible comes by looking at the Version 5/6/7 kits. A complete kit from Subaru would cost £704.37 + VAT with just a standard belt. The RCM equivalent, using the superior Cosworth belt and identical quality components weighs in at under half, at just £330.99 + VAT.

    On launching the kits, Sales Director (and handy wheelman) Olly Clark commented, ‘We have worked very hard to source these kits from the very best suppliers in the aftermarket. Our clients are incredibly discerning when it comes to choosing engine parts, and with our typical upgrade packages hitting a reliable 5-600 BHP, we can guarantee that these parts vastly exceed all OEM parameters.’

    So there you have it. Next time you’re due a timing belt service on your Subaru, check out RCM’s extensive range of kits. Astronomical performance doesn’t have to mean stratospheric pricing.
