Keeping Crud Out Of Your Carbs
Not many off-roaders run carbs these days, but if yours is a Weber from the 45DCOE, 44/48IDF, 48DCO/SP or 48IDA ranges you might forever be looking at those big, wide air trumpets and cringing at what could get sucked into them.

Stroker Kit for Toyota Powerhouse
The last-generation Toyota Supra is best remembered as an example of how much harm the chav scene is capable of doing to a perfectly good car. But the 2JZ straight-six twin-turbo under its bonnet was a legend, cranking out 320bhp and still more in the way of torque, and there’s...

Keep Your 4x4 Cool Under Pressure
We’ve written about hundreds of modded 4x4s and special builds down the years. And of all the teething problems people tell us they had with them, one of the most common has got to be that the cooling system didn’t work.

Lava Rock Heat Shields
Exhaust heat shields aren’t exactly the stuff of off-road legend. But when your engine’s giving it everything while you crawl forward at half a mile an hour on the end of a winch cable, keeping on top of the temperature under the bonnet is definitely the stuff of reality.
