Inside Tegiwa: March 2023

As we approach the end of March, it’s time to take a look at everything we’ve been up to during the past month here at Tegiwa. We’ve had an abundance of new products added to our website so let’s have a closer look.

New Products

The Athena Motorsport Cut Ring Racing Head Gasket for Honda K20 and K24A is a revolutionary product that is the perfect solution for high power applications. These gaskets stand out also because they present separate stainless steel rings (AISI 304) that ensure maximum sealing around the cylinder bore, even on engines with NOS and/or turbo applications in which it can hold up to 2.4 bar (above atmosphere) and that the engine/head studs allow for the amount of pressure. This is an unrivalled figure compared to competitors as most gaskets tend to blow at around 1.4 bar.

We were delighted to welcome the Garmin range of dash cams onto our website this month. These are the perfect piece of equipment to record HD footage and offer peace of mind in the event of an incident. With prices starting from just £119.99, these neat dash cams represent excellent value for money!

We introduced some new WedsSport wheels to our website with the WedsSport Racing, SA-72R and the limited-edition SA-75R in Toyota GR Yaris fitment. You can check these wheels out on both Tegiwa Imports and Alloy Wheel Shop.

The latest product from PracWorks grabbed a lot of attention. Their plug and plug intake manifold for the K20C1 which is suitable for the FK2/FK8/FL5, claims to see gains of up to 30 horsepower in the midrange and up to 15 horsepower at peak power!

Apex Warehouse Clearance

Just a couple of days ago we dropped our warehouse clearance sale on Apex Wheels. We’re currently offering 10% off all in stock Apex wheels whilst stocks last. This is the perfect time to grab a bargain; check them out here.

New Website

The Tegiwa brand got even bigger in March as we added yet another website to our ever-growing list of assets. We launched hardraceshop.com, the one stop place for the catalogue of Hardrace products. Here you will find everything from control arms to anti-roll bars to bushes.

Latest Blog

Following on from our recent FN2 buying guide which we dropped in February, our new FN2 modification guide walks you through the ins and outs of modifying the 3rd generation Civic Type R!

YouTube Channel

It was another crazy month on our YouTube channel too as we surpassed 8,000 subscribers! Thanks to everyone that’s dropped us a sub, hopefully we’ll be hitting 10,000 soon. Our Civic FL5 got a new Milltek Sport exhaust. After the guys at Milltek Sport had been using our FL5 for development on their new exhaust system, we were excited to pick it up and hear the difference. The new system is non-resonated and features a 15% larger diameter valve and an equal sized tailpipe design.

There was then a couple of new videos we published on the GR Yaris. The first of which was the installation of a Coolerworx quick shifter. Although the Yaris shift is good from the factory, the Coolerworx shifter takes things up a level, reducing the throw between gears by 40%. We linked up with Tino from FaithlessEmoRacing for this one so make sure you check it out!

We have to give a huge shoutout to EBC for our next video. They kindly supplied us with a set of front 2-piece floating discs and RP-X track pads for Matt’s GR Yaris. We put together an installation video and talked about some of the many benefits that these brake components have to offer!

Tsuki is back on track!

Tsuki has been back out on track this month for some pre-season testing. We put her brand new Holinger sequential gearbox through its paces around Donington Park. We’re heading there again at the end of this week to test out her exciting new aero package development.

Cars & Coffee

Finally, we thought we’d drop a gentle reminder that we’re hosting our Cars & Coffee morning this coming Sunday, 2nd April. It’s set to be a busy one so make sure you arrive early to secure a parking space. Gates will open at 9am and the event will last until 1pm. We hope to see you there!
