Other Auto Performance & Racing Parts

When you want to improve the performance of your vehicle, you can acquire new or used racing parts. You can stock your workshop with parts and accessories made by original equipment manufacturers or aftermarket manufacturers. Drag racers and track competitors are always on the hunt for items that support their passion for racing.

When you're overhauling or transporting a racing engine, you need to protect it from moisture and dirt. A water-repellent storage bag can keep parts clean when you need to walk away for extended periods of time. Look for storage bags that are made of heavy-duty nylon or plastic. Ideally, the bag should be designed to cover the whole engine as it sits on a stand. A drawstring at the bottom will further ensure your Ford Mustang, Chevy Camaro, or other race car motor remains in good condition.

Accessories for wheels are made by a number of auto manufacturers and parts companies. You can find accessories designed to boost both performance and appearance. Some parts available to upgrade your wheels include the following:

• Center caps
• Lug bolts and nuts
• Wheel locks
• Wheel stud kits
• Wheel spacers

When making changes to your vehicle or performing maintenance on your race car, there are several parts you might need that you might not know where to find or might have a hard time finding individually. These parts include:

• O-rings and seals: When fluids move in between two parts, it’s possible that some of it will leak at the join. O-rings and seals help to keep those leaks from occurring.
• Brackets and mounts: When adding or replacing parts in your vehicle, you’ll need ways to attach them to the interior of the car. Brackets and mounting kits allow you to position them in a stable, sturdy way.
• Front bumpers and roll cages: You can prepare for high-impact collisions and protect yourself with welded steel bumpers and roll cages.
• Quick turn fasteners: During a pitstop, you won’t have time to waste dealing with screws and nuts and bolts. Quick turn fasteners allow you to more quickly attach body pieces, interior panels, and accessories.
• Control arms: Adjustable control arms give you the power to adjust your suspension, so you can set it exactly how you need for your races.
• Piston ring compressors: Piston ring compressors serve to make it easier to install new pistons in your vehicle.
