  • Samcosport BMW E30 M3 Coolant Hose Kit

    The Welsh silicone wizards at Samcosport have released a race-quality silicone hose kit for the modern day classic that is the E30 M3. Thanks to its ‘80s good looks and DTM credentials, the E30 M3 is fast becoming a rapidly-appreciating classic. The new Samcosport kit allows lucky owners to effect a true ‘fit and forget’ upgrade thanks to their superior-quality French silicone composition and entirely hand-finished construction.

    Although many M3s are now leading a fairly cosseted life, many are still flexing their Bavarian muscles on track and race days, making the SamcoSport kit an essential upgrade, thanks to its almost limitless capacity to withstand heat and pressure, vastly in excess of the factory parameters.

    15 different colour finishes are available for those looking to ascribe to a race ready demeanour, or for the concours purist, the matt black ‘classic’ look. This one is all ‘Munich’ on the outside and ‘monster’ on the inside. The ideal compromise between originality and ability.

    The 13 piece kit retails at £199.60 + VAT and can be upgraded to include all necessary stainless steel hose clips for just £41.49 + VAT.

  • Prolong UK To Rebrand As Synionic

    Leading lubricant manufacturer Prolong UK is set to rebrand its entire product range under the new moniker of Synionic. The new nomenclature and logo will soon be seen on its entire range of specialist high performance oils, lubricants and car-care products.

    Prolong shot to fame over a decade ago, becoming known as the oil of choice for race teams and discerning enthusiasts. Having proven its worth at every level from F1 through to NASCAR, Top Fuel Drag racing and Time Attack, the product’s superior film strength and ability to ionically bond to the engines surfaces set it apart from the competition, which in the main, still rely on a ‘hydrodynamic wedge’ to keep moving components apart.

    Explaining the move, Mike Purchase, Sales Director of parent company ANP Ltd said, ‘The differentiation between Prolong and Synionic is an important one for us. When we first started with Prolong in the UK, we were simply importing it. Over the last few years, we have developed our own blending facilities and have been working tirelessly to improve the performance of its formulation, particularly with regard to its environmental impact upon disposal. The Synionic product is entirely new, so we felt that it deserved an all-new brand. It’s a fully synthetic lubricant that uniquely bonds at an ionic level to moving metal surfaces – hence the name, Synionic.’

    The new branding will roll out to retailers over the next few months. Leading race teams have already shown a keen interest in the new range, including multiple Time Attack and Ten Of The Best Champions, Roger Clark Motorsport who have been trialling the latest lubricants as part of their development programme for the 2011 season.

  • Richbrook Seat Covers. Clean AND Safe!

    Car carSeat covers! They’re useful little blighters aren’t they? Saving your interior from the everyday detritus of dirt, grease, dog hair, drinks and food. Problem is, although seat covers score very highly on the functional and practical scale, very few are designed to work properly with the current raft of side airbag seats. In fact, certain designs can actually stop them deploying effectively, leading to possibly catastrophic consequences…

    Leading accessory manufacturer Richbrook has addressed this important problem by designing an incredibly hard wearing and waterproof car seat cover that not only looks and performs the part, but also allows all known SRS systems to work as they should, protecting the occupants as well as the upholstery.

    The Richbrook seat cover uses Lycra stretch panels on both sides to make for a more snug ‘tailored’ look and usefully, the tough wipe-clean fabric also covers the entire seat back, right to the base, meaning that if any junior rear seat passengers fancy doing their own rendition of ‘Riverdance’ behind you, they won’t be leaving any footprints on your treasured fabric. Best of all, the backrest section features a ‘Rigitube’ insert which precisely fits into the gap between it and the seat squab, allowing the cover to precisely follow the seat contours and making for a supremely comfortable perch.

    Priced at just £22.95 and available in a subtly branded Richbrook design, it’s a small price to pay for total protection. Don’t find out the hard way that your seat cover doesn’t work with SRS systems!

    We have seen many car seat covers in our time but there is something different about these, they have style!! Richbrook Seat Covers FTW!!!!
