Richbrook ‘Slant’ Gearknob Range.

It’s not unusual for style maestros Richbrook to mix form and function, but their latest design really raises the bar in terms of fit, finish and feel. The ‘Slant’, as its name suggests, uses an attractive offset top section to give a unique ergonomic grip for easy shifting.

Two finishes are available to suit every type of interior ambience. Choose from the classic feel of lacquered hardwood for retro, classic or executive cars – or the sporting luxury of the finest Italian leather for sports or luxury motors.

Both designs fit practically any car (except for collared ‘lift for reverse’ type) and fit simply in seconds to create a true OEM quality upgrade. Better still, Richbrook also offer a wide range of gear gaiters and collars to really make the installation look ‘factory fresh’.

Both are priced at just £28.95 and come with a wide range of both 5 and 6 speed shift patterns for the ultimate finishing touch. Why not try a new slant on changing gear?

New Pipercross Venom. Breathe Deep!

Induction specialist Pipercross has released a revolutionary new design to turn the induction kit market on its head!

Their new Venom induction uses groundbreaking new construction and material choices to give their best ever air-flow yet in a sealed intake design. This latest kit comes complete with constant-diameter flexible ducting and all adapters needed for a quick and easy fitment. The filter inside is easily removable for cleaning and maintenance while the ingenious ‘click-together’ design makes for light weight. Essential for track and race applications.

The Venom has a massive 100mm open neck to allow maximum cold airflow though into the filter within. As well as being shielded from engine bay heat soak by the air-tight conical outer, the filter inside has a significantly larger surface area than any other sealed induction kit on the market. This increased airflow means more power, more torque and ultimately, more throttle response through each gear.

Initially, tuner’s favourites such as the EP3 Civic Type R, Mk4 Golf, Clio 172/182 and Mark 4/5 Astra will be the first to market. With many more to follow later in the year. As well as precision moulded ABS bodies, a genuine autoclaved Carbon Fibre edition will also soon be released. As well as these tailored kits, a universal fitment is also available.

Prices start at just £119.99 for the ABS unit, rising to £179.99 for the full Carbon version. The Venom will be available from Ripspeed branches of Halfords and all good motor accessory store.
