Capricorn anti-vibration engine mount

Capricorn have introduced their new anti-vibration engine mount. Many hours of work and testing have led Capricorn to develop this new anti vibration system, specifically made for the brand new Lab C801. This patented system has been designed to work with any brand of engine available on the market and each engine will need a specific engine mount with a dedicated mass damper. The purpose of this device is to dampen the alternate movement of the piston with a specific counter balance weight. The calibrated weight, that is located in a cavity between two dampening materials, reduce the vibration made by the engine which is normally transferred to the engine mount and then to the chassis. No word on a release date.

JQ Products optional centre shafts

One of the unusual features of THE Car by JQ Products is its centre differential, which has 8mm of front/rear adjustment in the chassis which can have a significant effect on handling. The standard kit comes with central to weight forward transmission components, ideal for tight, technical stop/start type tracks. If the full extent of its weight-back set up is required, usually for fast open tracks, then the optional weight back centre shafts must be used. The set includes the 90mm and 104mm option weight back dogbone centre shafts.
