T3 Adjustable Dampers from Spax – In Development….
We were recently contacted by Spax Performance with a view to developing some T3 dampers.
These are the result…
28 point adjustable Krypton gas dampers. slightly shorter than stock.
You all know the name, so i’ll give you the “bumpf” from their website:
“SPAX adjustable stiffness dampers are 28 stage on-car adjustable. The dampers are adjustable in both bump and rebound stiffness, giving ultimate adjustability and performance tuning. SPAX engineers have developed these kits to produce maximum comfort, control and handling. SPAX adjustable stiffness dampers are pressurised with Krypton gas. This produces not only superior low speed ride quality, but also high speed performance that is ultra stable, fade free and therefore significantly improved. The result is maximum comfort when you need it or maximum performance when you want. SPAX adjustable stiffness dampers are ideal for all road applications and even the occasional “track day” because they have a wide range of on car adjustment with no dismantling. Transform your car’s handling from “Sunday Drive” to “Track Day” in about a minute!”
Its quality gear, and we love the adjusters for the front dampers which make adjusting on the vehicle a doddle.
Test fitted today onto one of our own vehicles, and set to the equivalent of the Bilstein B4 dampers we sell… to be road tested for a few days so we have something to compare to, then we’ll stiffen them up and see how they perform.
We’re expecting good things from these, and all being well, we’ll have them on the webshop soon.
Colour goes well with out exclusive Eibach springs too:
Powerflex T4 bushes available very soon!
We have been beaving away behind the scenes helping Powerflex sort their T4 suspension bushes.
We’ve had some prototype bushes on a couple of our vehicles for a little while now and all seems to be in hand so Powerflex have decided to release them to the public.
Brickwerks and another UK supplier have exclusivity on these items.
We have ordered our initial stock and will hopefully have them on display at Vanfest, and available to buy very soon!
In testing! T3 poly radius rod bushes.
Just trying these for size on a customers van, making the required tweaks before general release. Hoping there will be 2 versions available, yellow, which is a softer material and uses a waisted sleeve for more suspension articulation on syncro models. The harder purple versions will be tested soon for lowered 2wd models.
T3 Gearbox Mounts
Prototypes arrived today of our new Polyurethane gearbox mounts.
2 versions, to cover all T3 models.
Replacement gearbox mounts are expensive, mainly because to replace them you need to replace the whole shebang…
As a solution we’ve commissioned these. We’ve had them made in 2 pieces with a stainless steel sleeve through the middle.
Cheaper as you can re-use all the original metalwork, and a good upgrade in polyurethane.
Trial fitment as soon as opportunity arises… and they’ll be on the table a Vanfest this weekend if you want to see them in the flesh…
New Product Development – T4 Polyurethane Suspension Bushes
Just landed today, first prototypes of T4 Transporter Polyurethane bushes.
At the moment Ant Roll Bar, Steering Rack, and Drop Link bush kits.
We’ll trial fit them when we get Vanfest out of the way, and when we’re happy they’ll be available to buy, and we’ll have the saples at Vanfest this weekend if you want to lick them…
Early bad ass silencer.
We got this made for a customer and he didn’t like it (freak!) So we have it to sell on now! One off and won’t be on the webshop. It’s unfitted so we don’t even know how it sounds!
We’re asking a measly £240 + VAT for it, lifetime warranty!
Early WBX prototype exhaust
Hopefully we’ll get chance to fit this soon and get them on the webshop!
With the VAT, these manifold pipes are going to retail at £485.
