Pipercross have just celebrated 25 years in the business of high performance filters. Supporting many of the great drivers and teams from the past It’s focus has always been to design and engineer the best performance filters money can buy.

In 2012 Pipercross is the technical partner on induction technology to teams in F1, Lemans, GT, BTCC,

Pipercross composite airflow technology is an exclusive design process that comprises of multi layered grades of bonded reticulated foam designed to give the highest air flow without compromise on filtration. The development of these composite panels allows the filter to be carefully re-engineered for each application until the optimum flow is achieved. Foam technology is constantly developing and is the most advanced filter material available.

Pipercross composite filters give up to 99.2%+ efficiency in dirt filtration and flow stronger for longer compared to paper and cotton filters. In independent tests, the laminated foam design provides maximum dirt retention whilst retaining maximum airflow. This is a unique feature to Pipercross filters.

Pipercross always recommend oiled filters, but applications that are known to be sensitive to this have been designed with this in mind without oil. These filters have a variation in Pipercross design to ensure they are still as effective.

Before production every filter is bench flowed to prove that it flows faster than any other filter including cheaper materials such as cotton-gauze and polyester and If Pipercross can’t make an improvement it won’t make the filter.

Every filter has a lifetime warranty on materials and manufacturing and can be washed clean at regular intervals. A PX cleaning kit included an approved detergent and re-oil can for applications that required it.

Pipercross filters flow stronger for longer.

Pipercross Induction Systems remove the restrictive factory airbox to offer the maximum possible airflow into the engine. All filters use Pipercross composite airflow technology and systems are only released for production when they are bench-flow tested and make an improvement in airflow performance. Pipercross induction systems are highly recommended for optimum performance.

Venom Induction SystemsVenom is a the latest addition to the Pipercross Induction range and is the most technologically advanced system to date. Extremely light weight and manufactured in a heat resistant polypropylene chassis it contains a double double conical induction design making it the highest flowing filter in the range. Developed in conjunction with a leading WTCC team it achieves this by increasing the surface area to maximise air flow and removes restriction. The design also increased dust capacity means that the filter flows stronger for longer. A key characteristic built into all Pipercross filters.

Viper Induction SystemDeveloped in conjunction with Lotus on the 340R project, the Pipercross Viper continues to be the primary choice for enthusiasts looking for the very best from their engine. The Viper design incorporates a carbon fibre heat shield mounted over an fully enclosed Pipercross cone and uses a flexible ram pipe to deliver cool air into the engine.

VIS Induction SystemsVelocity Induction Systems use remote air intake technology, combining a Pipercross PCAT layered foam air filter with a extended carbon fibre cold intake pipe to locate the coolest intake position in the engine bay. Only developed for VW and Lexus models.

Cone Induction SystemsCone Induction System uses the Pipercross layered foam cone filter mounted on an polished aluminum based and incude all pipework & fitting kit required for a direct fit. Some kits contain an optional heat shield to reflect engine bay heat, but only used on specific applications where this is a problem.

vmaxx suspension The Performance Company - Performance Parts Trade DistributionTelephone 01933 685 840 Fax 01933 790 790 email: [email protected] www.theperformance.co

These coilovers (which, of course, includes 4 shocks and springs) re flat out insane value. These are basically the best and most economically priced coilovers (that you can actually rely on) on the market today.Are they junk? No. Are they competitive with the high end products from HR, Eibach, KONI, KW, etc? Yes and No. In function, they will offer similar performance and features but lets be clear. You are buying a full coil over setup for the price that other companies charge for 2 adjustable shocks but it is still a good value and while they have their limits, they are a great product and are definitely worth considering if you are looking for new shocks, springs or other coil overs.

With the new V-Maxx coilover kit you can expect improved handling, lower center of gravity and daily driver ride quality. The V-Maxx kit is a fully adjustable kit that allows you to control the amount of lowering at each of the four corners of the car.

Are they like junky £100 online specials? We don’t sell them, so we don’t know, but we know we would never sell anything that we feel is not a good value, is worth owning and that we would not put on our own personal cars. In fact VMAXX has quite the reputation for offering budget products that perform well and have been selling coilover setups for Mazda, VW and other makes for a number of years.

Benefits of the V-Maxx Coilover suspension kit: - The best value on the market without question. - Fully adjustable ride height that you need. - Full 2-year manufacturers warranty back by V-Maxx - TUV tested and approved products. - Balanced between sports and daily driver needs. - Custom struts matched to springs

Actual customer comments on V-Maxx- R32 / TT Quattro - “In a word: superb”. “Keeping up with cars in the corners...[with cars] running suspensions that cost twice the money”. “on par with my friend’s $1400 H&R setup”. - Golf Mk1- “Just got mine on...couldn’t be happier with them”. - Golf Mk3- “I’m happy so far”. “Build quality looks good”. - Golf Mk4- “ride quality is nice...they have a smooth feel to them”. “thumbs up”. “All in all this suspension is a great product...handles great”

remus sports exhausts The Performance Company - Performance Parts Trade DistributionTelephone 01933 685 840 Fax 01933 790 790 email: [email protected] www.theperformance.co

Remus is now focused on high-end engineering and technical sophistication. This may result in a premium price point but the product is guaranteed to give long lasting performance with an investment in sound & engineering that is second to none.

The Remus Unique Sound - How do they do it? Measurement for sound quality tests including loudness, fluctuation strength, roughness, sharpness, tone-to-noise ratio, prominence ratio and jury tests. Exact points of sound emission are located using a sound probe along the system to allow differentiation between auxillary noises (eg suction noise) isolate them and optimise them. All tests are carried out to ensure the exhaust system manufactured is the best possible for the vehicle. Rolling Road testing - taking actual on road testing into consideration by means of electrical mass and road resistance simulation

Creating more power from transmission loss and back pressure testing. Off car testing is carried out to measure accurately exhaust back pressure but also acoustic parameters with or without through-flow from frequency dependent noise suppression behavior. This is also used to determine absorbtion coefficient of the silencer absorption materials used.

Why Remus? Remus adds value to a car and holds its money on resale so don’t think the higher price is just inflation. Remus makes the ideal investment for anyone who wants to fit a performance exhaust system to their car and not lose money.

Developed and constructed in Austria, Remus have the largest and best equipped exhaust manufacturing facility in Europe. Perfect fitment, the distinctive Remus sound and precision construction ensure that Remus is an exhaust brand like no other.

The Performance Company - Performance Parts Trade DistributionTelephone 01933 685 840 Fax 01933 790 790 email: [email protected] www.theperformance.co

Nology Engineering USA develops and manufactures high performance ignition leads, spark plugs and engine management systems.

nology hotwire ignition leads If you like expensive things, these are for you. Honestly, who spends nearly £200 on ignition leads? Better yet, who spends £2000 on speaker wires? Well, lots of people. Why? Because, in some cases, you are actually paying for some technology and performance that are truly worth it. I don’t advocate spending £2000 on ignition leads, but £200 is worth it if the product has proven itself.

In the case of the Nology Hot Wires, they are a true performer. Nology HotWires are the most technologically advanced ignition wires available. HotWires create the most powerful spark possible and are engineered with a special built-in capacitor, exclusive only to HotWires. This revolutionary design allows energy from the ignition coil to accumulate in the capacitor until the voltage at the spark plug electrodes reaches the ionization point. At that split second point the entire power of the stored spark is discharged at once, creating a spark 300 times more powerful. Wow, that’s cool.

SUPPORTED DRIVE 2012WAYNE KEEBERBritish Drift Championship - SUPER PRO

wAYNE KEEBERBDC DRIFT SUPER PRO tpc SUPPORTED DRIVE PROGRAMME 2012

Wayne picked up plenty of trophies in 2011 with a 3rd place overall in the BDC Super Pro. He’s made some big changes in 2012 and looking for the win.

In a championship full of Nissans only a few try and use something different. The driver behind the only Toyota Soarer give’s his season review.

The British Drift Championship is getting bigger and better every year, what are your thoughts on the 2011 season?

The standard of driving this year has been outstanding in all 3 classes. 2011 was my third year in BDC and I think its been the best and most competitive year to date. Next year should be amazing if the standard rises again.

What did you have to do to prepare for the season?

I had a list of jobs to do to the car to get ready for the 2011 season but a sub-frame mod took longer than planned a very little got done. The most important change was the clutch, 2010 I struggled with a unreliable clutch so upgraded to a twin plate for 2011. The only other upgrades for 2011 was a new exhaust(EMPperformance) and wheel alignment and set-up.

What was your favorite round this year?

My favorite round of 2011 has to be round 3 at Teesside, I had a mixed weekend of joint top qualifier with Paul Smith then having to do a diff and gearbox change between practice and top 16 battles. Made the top 8 and got the hard charger award for the weekend.

What was your highlight of the season?

The highlight of the year for me has to be battling with Declan at round 1 for 3rd and 4th place and coming away with a podium totally sur-prised.

What are your plans for next year?

For next year I’m hoping to find a sponsor who can help support me through the year. The car will be having the last years planned work plus a few extra if finances allow, the main work being an slight in-crease in power and a colour change.

I’m hoping to make the car more competative for next year as this year i found where it’s biggest weaknesses were against the competition. Hopefully i can make the big car good.

Who do you think is the driver to watch in 2012?

As I said before the standard of driving is awesome, so I think there will be a number of drivers to watch out for next year including the drivers moving up from the pro class.

I would like to thank The Performance Company for their help and support during 2011 and thanks for the support from family and friends.

Good luck in 2012 Wayne!
