Cobra Suspension For The Toyota iQ

With the new Toyota iQ seeming to offer a perfectly proportioned mix of economy and ability, Cobra Springs have also added ‘excitement’ to that list.
 
With every road tester loving the car at its launch, but being a touch underwhelmed by its handling prowess, The Cobra kit comes as the perfect upgrade package to maintain the ride quality whilst massively improving the handling. Lowering the car by 30mm, the lower centre of gravity brings improved turn-in, pin-point accuracy and a real sense of fun, without ruining the character of the car.
 
The heat-treated springs are powder coated for a long and durable life – even on the UK’s salted winter roads. Each spring is cold-formed for accuracy before being heat treated for strength and durability. Finally each and every spring is shot-peened to pre fatigue the spring and eliminate sagging. This lengthy production process explains Cobra’s confidence in their product and their 5 Year warranty.
 
So if you fancy the ecological credentials of the superb iQ, but with a far more aggressive stance and vastly improved dynamics –  It looks like you can finally have your cake and eat it.
 
Two kits are available for all 2009 on cars. One kit for the 1.0 and a heavier wind for the 1.3 petrol and 1.4 diesel models. Both are priced at £139.00 + VAT and lower the respective model by 30mm all round.

Scorpion Launches New Seat Cupra Bocanegra System

Scorpion Exhausts, the Derbyshire-based exhaust manufacturer has launched a superb looking half-system for the aggressive new Seat Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra. The new part fits from the centre back and offers genuine performance gains mixed with a vastly improved exhaust note for the 1.4 TSi engine.

The new exhaust has been designed and hand-fabricated here in the UK and utilises T304 57mm Aerospace grade stainless steel tubing and precision CNC mandrel bends to optimise gas-flow and improve throttle response across the rev range.

By being completely interchangeable with the factory exhaust, the new Scorpion parts fit quickly and easily – and by keeping all factory catalysts in place, full legality and warranty conformity are assured.

The exhaust note has been carefully honed to offer a truly sporting tone, without being obtrusive in the cabin.

The entire system is priced at £449.00 including VAT.

Scorpion Launch New Fiat 500 Abarth Exhaust System

Derbyshire based exhausts manufacturer Scorpion Exhausts have launched a superb looking exhaust system for the diminutive Fiat 500 Abarth that offers genuine performance gains and a sublime soundtrack.

The new system, which has been designed and hand-fabricated here in the UK, utilises T304 63mm Aerospace grade stainless steel tubing and precision CNC mandrel bends to optimise gas-flow and improve throttle response across the rev range.

The open-neck downpipe houses a free-flowing 200 cell sports catalyst, providing the perfect balance between full race/road legality and ultimate performance. Sitting so close to the engine, the catalyst also warms up very quickly, ensuring that the car’s emissions stay very close to factory parameters, despite a notable power increase. The exhaust note has been carefully honed to offer a truly sporting tone, without being obtrusive in the cabin.

The centre section has an OEM style flexi-joint to allow for engine movement and the rear back box uses offers a pair of subtly finished 100mm Daytona trims to accentuate the Abarth’s shapely rear.

The entire system is priced at £995 including VAT. This includes the 200 cell sports catalyst. A half system is also available, from the downpipe back,  for just £549 inc VAT.

The system will initially be available exclusively from Forge Motorsport. Click to www.forgemotorsport.co.uk or call the team on 01452 380999 for more details.
