Have you heard your car could perform better with an LSD fitted or always fancied trying one ?

Even if your car has a torque sensing LSD (helical gear/torsen type) it is not sufficient during aggressive driving conditions; it is essential that any serious track user has a mechanical LSD installed in their car.

Brake Pad Options / K-Sport Calipers

June 1st, 2011

We often get asked for brake pads to suit a variety of brands of brake calipers. Many caliper manufacturers follow certain recognised patterns (generally AP Racing set the standard!), to make the choice of pads around the world easier for users.

Had just such an enquiry within the last few days for pads to fit K-Sport calipers. This was for 8 pot calipers, but I believe 6 pots use similar pad shapes. There are 2 or 3 pads that will fit the K-Sport calipers, and Performance Friction offer good material compounds, at reasonable prices.

The K-Sport calipers need the 17mm thick pads. 18mm pads are very tight and will only fit if the discs are worn.

The team were looking to repeat their success at round one, which seen them take 1st place. However, just after this, the team had a problem when they realised that the track at Norfolk wasn’t quite suited to the Supra’s setup.

* lph = Litres Per Hour

The DeatschWerks 300lph fuel pumps are selling well (which is not suprising; they offer great performance at a reasonable cost).

We are recieving good feeback from customers regarding how efficiently and quietly the pumps run and how easy they are to fit. Many people are already using the pumps in vehicles not listed in our fitment list, but achieve what they need with a similar fitment, or just by using the Universal Fitting Kit.

DW Pump Picture

We are interested to hear how you get on with fitting the pumps to non-listed vehicles and very keen for people to try the pumps in more non-listed vehicles. If there are any issues, we will always take the pump back. If you’re willing to try a new, non-listed fitment and report back on how the job went, we are willing to offer you a special deal!

So if you need a high capacity pump for your tuning project, and know the DW 300lph pump will be the best one for the job, give us a call.
