The easiest way to look after your alloy wheels in winter, is by taking them off completely! Many of my friends (and me at one point) have a spare set of wheels that were either the original factory fitted alloy wheels, or they were ones picked up at a bargain price just to use in those salt covered months!

If you are not fortunate enough to own 2 sets of wheels, then you can try washing and waxing your wheels. This should help stop stuff sticking to the wheel and will hopefully keep them shiny!

A lot of people choose to garage their whole car over winter and use some kind of winter runabout, if you are in a position to have more than one car then this is the ideal way of preserving your hard work and keeping your modified/performance/show car in pristine condition!

Superceding the firms previous EcoBox and Powerbox ranges, the new V-Tech range makes life much easier for customers by offering the Greenbox for those who want to improve their fuel consumption - by as much as 15% - and the Redbox for those looking for more power, combined with better driveability and economy. Nearly all applications are ‘plug and play’, clipping neatly into the factory wiring loom with OEM connectors, making it a relatively simple job for even the most mechanically inept.

Where V-Tech differs from its competitors is that it allows the end user to have freedom to change and tweak the tuning parameters of the box to suit their driving style - or financial situation. Both units can be ordered with the optional ability to plug straight into the USB port of any Windows based device, such as a phone, lap-top or PDA, allowing the driver to access the ECU and change torque and power delivery characteristics, using simple, easy to understand software. Basically, if you can load tunes onto an I-Pod, you can personalise V-Tech.

Redbox owners can enjoy up to 20% more power by switching to the appropriate setting, or should they suddenly feel the pinch of the credit-crunch, can swiftly switch the unit over to an economy setting and enjoy the same benefits as the Greenbox - or indeed, anything inbetween. Greenbox owners who suddenly feel the urge for a little more ‘go’ can simply upgrade their software online at the V-Tech site and turn their fuel sipper into something significantly quicker.

Upon launching the product, V-tech Uk Managing Director, Richard Bulmer said, ‘With the advent of devices like the I-Pod and Sat-Nav, there’s a lot of switched on consumers out there that like to be able to control and update their electronic devices. Why should your car be any different? People’s needs change over time and what you need your car to do today, may not be right for tomorrow. V-tech comes future-proofed for any changes that you may wish to make for years to come and can be changed on a day-to-day basis to maximise your driving enjoyment and value.’

Prices start at £315 inc. VAT for the Greenbox and £345 Inc. VAT for the Redbox. During December these are being offered at the discounted price of £299 and £315 respectively. For those looking for ultimate control, the ‘Pro’ version at £395 comes fully unlocked for self-tuning capability. However, any box can be upgraded on-line at a later date.

So whether you’re a tree-hugger, hot lapper, road racer or even just a gadget freak, there’s bound to be a V-Tech for you. Don’t settle for a ‘one size fits all solution’, because when it comes to your car, now you don’t have to.

Suspension guru’s Eibach are first past the post yet again with today’s announcement of their tuned suspension and chassis products for Ford’s funky new Fiesta.

Despite the Fiesta only having just gone on general UK release, the German suspension giant have already signed off a Pro-Kit spring package and a range of different Pro-spacer fitments.

The Fiesta received critical acclaim when it’s initial ‘Verve’ design concept was originally debuted. Staying daringly close to it’s original concept of clever packaging and svelte good looks, the production version ticks every box for the thinking driver. Now thanks to the availability of this latest Pro-Kit and Pro-Spacer, hot-hatch road manners can sit alongside the little Ford‘s eminent practicality!

The Pro-Kit performance springs notably improve handling and offer a new level of driving dynamics. With certain Fiesta variants available with pretty hot motors, The progressively wound spring rate of the Pro-Kit banishes body roll whilst maintaining an excellent ride quality. Hugely important in a car that promises to be all things to all people.

By lowering the cars centre of gravity by around 30mm, the car not only drives better, but looks better too. Driving stability can be increased further still with the fitment of Pro-Spacer aluminium wheel spacers to increase track, decreasing body roll further and improving turn-in and steering feel.

The Fiesta kit, like all Eibach products carries full TUV certification and are warranted to an unbelievable 1,000,000 miles! Thanks to their unique surface coating and corrosion protection.

Available from all good tuning outlets, a list of approved Eibach stockists can be found by visiting

In standard form the car does a brilliant job of being all things to all people, but for those looking to achieve the ultimate in pin-point handling, without upsetting the VW’s superb road manners, Eibach have released a plethora of chassis upgrades to bring the new Golf up to par.

The Pro-Kit lowers the car by around 30mm and offers a drastically improved stance, better turn-in and lower centre of gravity for decisive direction changes. Working in harmony with the standard dampers, the Pro-Kit rides at almost factory comfort levels and truly offers the best of both worlds. These are priced at £150.91 + VAT.

Those looking for a super-aggressive stance and pinpoint accuracy can specify the Sportline range. Like the Pro-Kit, this uses Eibach’s unique progressive wind technology to maintain optimum ride comfort, despite its 50mm drop. One for those that like the show to match the go! Price? Just £107.69 + VAT. Both kits can be allied to computer matched Pro-Damper kits to give literally sublime handling for just £430.00 + VAT.

The Pro-Street S range uses stainless-steel race technology and springs directly from Eibach’s ERS competition department to give road-quality ride in a race adjustable product. Here drivers can select their desired ride height up to 70mm lower than factory. Once again, Eibach’s chassis designers have taken care to make the kit as useable on the UK’s undulating ‘B’ roads as it is on the track. The price is £734.55 + VAT.

The final finishing touches can be added either with the Anti-Roll Kit, which further improves cornering by keeping the car in a flatter attitude through the turns, reducing body roll and allowing the tyres to work more efficiently - or by adding one of the selection of Pro-Spacer kits. These range in width from 12mm to 30mm and by increasing the Golf’s track measurement can drastically improve lateral grip and turn-in. The Anti-Roll Kit starts at £226.92 + VAT and the Pro-Spacers from £61.54 + VAT per pair.

So whatever the state of your Golf’s game. Eibach can improve your drive.
