  • Samcosport Ford Focus RS Mk2 Turbo, Heater and Coolant Hose Kits

    The Welsh silicone wizards at Samcosport have once again raised the bar for the aftermarket with the release of their comprehensive range of silicone hose upgrades for the much vaunted Ford Focus RS Mk2.

    The three kits replace every single hose on the car, upgrading the vehicle’s ability to withstand higher temperatures and pressures, being a true ‘fit and forget’ upgrade thanks to SamcoSport’s unique lifetime warranty.

    15 different colourways are available, ensuring detailing and showcar aficionados can mix or match to their heart’s content. Purists can opt for the ‘OEM+’ Classic black, or for the less shy, camouflage and custom flamed finishes can also be built to special order.

    Thanks to their insistence on the highest grade French silicone and as the only hose manufacturer to still hand-finish every single hose, SamcoSport hoses have long since been the darling of all top-end Ford tuners and race teams. These latest designs continue that tradition and can be accentuated further with the use of Samcosport’s bespoke stainless steel hose clip kits for a stunning finish.

    The coolant kit costs £155.89, the heater kit £53.74 and the turbo kit weighs in at £163.24. Custom hose clip kits start at £12.96. All prices exclude VAT.

  • 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.

  • 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.
