You don't really need us to explain the benefits of exhaust wrap, but we're briefly going to do it anyway. By wrapping your manifold, you can dramatically reduce engine bay temperatures, which in turn should reduce intake temperatures too, potentially providing you with a few extra bhp. By containing the heat within the exhaust, it also means spent gases potentially exit faster. However, despite the benefits, exhaust wrap can look pretty grubby and unsightly, considering it's usually white. Design Engineering (DEi) is now offering black wrap, which is significantly more discreet. Prices start at £12.63 for a 15' roll which is 1" wide, but longer, wider rolls are also available. If you're interested, you need to contact Nimbus Motorsport via www.nimbusmotorsport.com or 01377 236170.

Its polished blue anodised aluminium casing makes the Gizzmo shift light a classy looking addition to your dashboard. It's a dual-stage unit, with the LED illuminating bright yellow in colour when the first stage is reached, and changing to a striking red when the designated change-up point has been reached. Installation is easy, thanks to a basic three-wire setup, with operation equally as simple thanks to a foolproof two-button system..
PRICE: £95

IIt's back. On its tenth anniversary, the makers of Gran Turismo have just launched GT5 Prologue, and it's promising to be badder and better than ever! Now backed by the graphical power of the PlayStation 3, the Sony team has made the most of the high definition format that is now available, meaning GT5 Prologue will no doubt once again become the benchmark driving simulator. Due to popular demand, a London track has been included, with the route passing famous landmarks such as Piccadilly Circus, Trafalgar Square and Regents Street. The full GT5 game doesn't launch until 2009, but for now, Prologue has six incredibly detailed tracks and more than 70 cars to keep you busy, one of which is the all-new Nissan GT-R. Head-to-head racing can be enjoyed both in split-screen mode and online, meaning you're sure to get hooked. We know we would be - if we had a PS3, that is!
PRICE: £24.99
