  • Scorpion Fiat Coupe 20 Valve Exhaust. True Thoroughbred Performance

    Although many of us hanker after an Italian sports car, penned by one of the great styling houses, for the vast majority of us, our aspirations aren’t matched by our affluence. Thankfully, the Fiat Coupe 20 valve is the Italian thoroughbred for the everyman. Penned by the great Pininfarina and packing enough Roman ponies to induce some pretty brisk progress, they’re the perfect second-hand buy, with even the World’s nicest example only costing a few grand.


    As the perfect first upgrade for any 20 valve Coupe, Scorpion’s beautifully made cat-back sports exhaust takes some beating. Each one is hand fabricated here in the UK from Aerospace grade T304 stainless steel and come complete with a comprehensive lifetime warranty covering its impeccable fit and finish. Power gains of between 5 and 10% are very much the norm with a soundtrack that sounds far more like Maranello than Turin..

    Best of all, the Scorpion system fully integrates with the OEM parts making for an easy fitment and meaning that it can be upgraded in stages if need be. Although with the back box costing just £195.00 including VAT and the entire cat-back system retailing at just £293.95 all in, it’s almost rude not to do the whole lot.

    Whilst you keep checking those lottery numbers for that Ferrari, this is definitely the next best thing!

  • Richbrook Dipstick Wiper

    Don’t Be A Dipstick.. Check Your Oil With Richbrook

    Richbrook’s somewhat self-explanatory Dipstick Wiper might just solve a perennial automotive problem. Every single year, literally millions of engines fail due to the wholly avoidable problem of lack of oil. We all know that we should check it, but faffing around looking for a rag to wipe the dipstick is often discouragement enough for us to wait until the oil light comes on to tell us that something’s wrong.

    Keeping an oily rag in the car isn’t too pleasant either. Under the bonnet it might get sucked into the air intake or fan, or worse still get hot and catch fire. The best you can hope for is that it gets full of water and slowly rusts through the inner wing..

    The Dipstick Wiper, as well as being the source of numerous double-entendres and ‘Only Fools and Horses’ gags around the Richbrook offices, offers a neatly self contained solution to this simple, but vitally important problem.

    Simply turn the top to reveal an absorbent foam aperture. Slide the oily dipstick through to fully clean it and then take a clear and accurate reading from the sump. Simple as that. Turn the top to close and any oily residue is kept safely inside, meaning that it can reside anywhere, from your trouser pocket – to your glovebox or toolkit. True ergonomiscists can even use the enclosed 3M adhesive pad to affix the ‘Rodney’ (as he’s known) to a suitable place in the engine bay, meaning that a handy, clean wipe – and possibly a hilarious pun – is always within easy reach.

    At £2.95 including VAT, postage and packing from www.richbrook.co.uk, it’s the cheapest way to ensure that your engine is in tip-top order. You’d be a plonker not to, Rodney!

  • Motorsport Cameras

    If you are involved in the Motorsport world then you have more than likely seen cars with cameras attached to them by now. The world has been going mad about videos for years but more recently it seems to becoming more and more popular within the Motorsport industries.


    Many race teams are now using on-board motorsport cameras to capture footage from inside and out side of the vehicle. Using sturdy bullet camera systems which can be mounted on spoilers, roll cages and body panels teams are capturing some of the best footage that even the TV cameras miss.

    In addition to the fun side of things these cameras can also be used for training and safety, lets say you had a small bullet camera mounted on your dashboard and were to have someone pull out on you. There is your evidence if the person who pulled out on you decided that they did not want to take the blame, you have everything you need on video.

    Two very useful uses for a motorsport camera, not to mention many more….
