THE "COBRA STYLE" STEERING WHEEL FROM GT PERFORMANCE PRODUCTS

Every facet of the infamous Shelby Cobra was designed to fit the image and performance of a hard-core racecar. This new “Cobra Style” steering wheel is part of the GT Performance Parts GT RETRO series. The wheel is manufactured using a laminated wood process called “book matching” (meaning you see the layered pattern in the grain from front to back) and includes sculpted finger grips. It features a 9-rivet design and hand rubbed walnut stain, which is then sealed with a polyurethane clear coat, which protects the wood and gives it a long-lasting gloss finish. It is part #38-4247 and retails for $203.98.

This “Cobra Style” wheel also features a one-piece forged 6061 polished aluminum frame and is shown with the #11-1100 horn button ($44.96) and the #10-5506 installation hub ($61.98), each sold separately. GT Performance Products offers horn buttons that show the nine-bolt pattern design (as seen here) or you can dress it up with a larger style GT9 horn button that covers the nine-bolt pattern and gives this wheel an entirely different look. The horn button is secured with an O-ring design so it won’t “pop-off” in the middle of the night. The “Cobra Style” wheel can be used with any of the GT9-bolt installation hubs and GT9 horn buttons. The “Cobra Style” has a 15-inch diameter and 1.75-inch dish.

Quick Fuel Technology’s Quick Kits Restore New Carburetor Performance

After a hard season of racing, your Quick Fuel Technology (QFT) performance carburetor may need a little TLC. QFT’s Quick Kits are all you need for a quick rebuild to restore your carburetor to like-new performance. Race fuel additives can deteriorate many “soft” carburetor parts like needle and seat assemblies, power valves, pump diaphragms and gaskets. Performance may slowly fall off, and it is hard to pinpoint why.

Rather than deal with these sometimes perplexing problems at the track, installing a QFT Quick Kit will ensure consistent and repeatable performance. Plus, these new kits will actually upgrade your QFT carb with redesigned fuel bowl and metering block gaskets with larger diameter holes including booster through-holes and main jet feed passages. No longer is there a chance of the gasket becoming the restriction or metering device. All gaskets are made out of MP-15 non-stick gasket material that provides excellent sealing ability and retains fastener torque.

A simple lean or nitrous backfire in the intake system can rupture or compromise the performance of a power valve. QFT’s Quick Kits also include its exclusive FOUR DOOR power valves that provide greater flow capacity and react more quickly to rapid throttle opening. Another component included in the kit are GFLT accelerator pump diaphragms that will provide reliable performance for all alcohol-based fuels, ensure crisp throttle response and a full pump shot when you need it.

QFT Quick Kits are available for six applications: 2300 style flange, 350-500cfm 2bbl circle track applications, gas only; 4150 mechanical secondary, gas only; 4150 vacuum secondary, gas only; 4150 E85 and alcohol applications; 4500 2- and 3-circuit, gas only, and 4500 2- and 3-circuit for E85 and alcohol only.

CarCapsule Completely Seals and Protects a Vehicle from Dings, Dust, Pests and Weather

CarCapsule is an inflatable bubble that completely seals and protects a vehicle from dings, dust, dirt, corrosion, mildew, musty odors, and pests.

Available in Indoor and Outdoor versions. Inflation of the CarCapsule is maintained by a high-pressure fan that provides continuous airflow to keep the vehicle dry and prevent condensation. Air inside the bubble is completely exchanged with filtered outside air up to 8 times every hour - keeping the temperature inside consistent with the temperature outside and eliminating moisture that could condense on the vehicle. Bubble creates a cushion that protects the vehicle from door dings, dents and scratches, and falling objects. Easy to use and sets up in 7-10 minutes. Indoor versions are made with durable 10 mil clear PVC. Outdoor versions use 16 mil tarp material for weatherability and blockage of vehicle damaging UV rays. Both versions feature a floor made from 18 mil material that is mildew, abrasion and flame resistant, as well as impervious to oil, gas and antifreeze.
