GET A GRIP
No one wants to lose their tools in the abyss that is the engine bay
— especially those damn 10mm sockets. Keep nuts, bolts, sockets,
spanners, and the rest together where you can see them with Grypmats.
Designed by F16 pilot Tom Burden, and backed by Sir Richard Branson,
these grippers stay where you put them and won’t mark paintwork,
making them ideal for professional and home mechanics and for uses
far outside the workshop.

or email [email protected]. Dealer enquiries are welcome.KEEP COOL
There’s plenty of components not to cheap out on when it comes to
building a car, but one of the forgotten components that can make the
most difference is found right in front of your eyes — a front-mount
intercooler. Keeping intake temps down ain’t an easy task, and testing
has shown that cheaper units simply don’t meet the mark. However,
bucking that trend is the Vinny Fabrication 600x300x80, which has
proven gains of up to 33kW in back-to-back dyno testing. Designed
to handle high-power applications, the bar and plate core features
custom flow-end tanks for maximum air distribution. It can be made
to suit individual needs, all in-house at Vinny Fabrication, and is priced
at $859.

windies and let rip on the open road without the need for a motorcycle
licence — these bad boys can be driven on your full car licence.

IMPRESS WITH LIBYA
You can count on DTM to stay at the forefront of wheel design, and
it’s just dropped one of the latest additions to the DTM Wheels stable:
the DTM Libya. This one-piece cast wheel features a 10-spoke design
that’s accentuated with a black finish. Available in 17x8.5-inch and
17x10-inch fitments, you can run them staggered to suit the likes of
Nissan Skylines and Silvias or go square for use on four-wheel- and
front-wheel-drive 5x114.3 vehicles.
For fitment, pricing, and to find your nearest DTM dealer, visit dtm.co.nz.SEEING RED
