PIAA is constantly updating and improving our range of lighting
systems, wipers and associated vision enhancing products.
Since their introduction the PIAA Super Silicone
Blades have swept into the lead in Wiper technology. While
competitors use normal rubber or at best graphite or Teflon
coated, only PIAA use a 100% silicone rubber blade. This
means that the blade lasts longer and the coating does not
come off the blade after a few thousand miles.
The new PIAA Si-Tech (Silicone Technology)
Flat Wiper Blade, is a modern, frameless wiper that delivers
all-season performance, thanks to PIAA’s patented
silicone impregnated rubber blades. The key to the PIAA
Si-Tech’s performance is its design that creates more
pressure points across the entire length of the blade for
streak-free wiping. It eliminates snow and ice build-up,
is heat and ozone resistant, and its silicone rubber continually
reapplies an active silicone coating on the windshield,
assuring effective streak-free, quiet operation.
These LED kits give your vehicle brilliant white/blue sidelights
by replacing your filament bulbs with high-brightness energy
efficieint LED bulbs.
The
kits contains 2 led units and electronic calibration packs
for a simple to install plug in replacement fitment. They
include special resistor units to stop a vehicles "bulb
blown" warning system from being triggered.
The range is the first in the new Global
ranges developed by PIAA Japan, and carries the worldwide
certification and conformity. It takes on, competes
and out performs the opposition.
Ideal for bad weather conditions, PIAA's
highly developed Vision
range of Screen products is re launched with larger
value added sizes and improved formula's to offer
a superb range of Screen care products.
All the products are compatible with
PIAA Super Silicon Wipers
and enhance the function of the blades. As there is
not always a wiper application for every car, the
Vision products are a great substitute.
PIAA Sport Horns have been developed from PIAA's
competition involvement in the Dakar Rally and are designed
to work in the most arduous conditions. They are ultra light
weight with a weather shield on the front to prevent dirt
and water getting into the horn. This is unique to PIAA.
Having their own distinctive sound they operate at an attention
grabbing 115db. They can now be fitted to competition cars
all over the World as the FIAA and in the UK the MSA, who
previously permitted only air horns, now permit the use
of these electric horns. PIAA Horns are supplied in pairs
with two different tones - the HO2E kit which contains 1
x 400Hz & 1 x 500Hz, and the higher tone kit HO8E 1
x 500Hz & 1 x 600Hz.. The cost is just £30.05

Ford creates history with landmark
result at Rally Argentina
29 April 2012 -The record-breaking run began
in the opening round of the 2002 series in Monte Carlo.

at the finish ceremony of this fifth round of the 2012
championship in Carlos Paz . Rally Argentina was the longest
WRC round for almost a decade. Heavy rain before the start
made the gravel roads in Cordoba province, 700km north-west
of Buenos Aires, extremely slippery. More...
FIA WORLD ENDURANCE CHAMPIONSHIP
- GREAT START FOR JRM RACING AT SEBRING
17 March 2012 - JRM Racing demonstrated its Endurance
racing potential at this year's 60th running of the Mobil
1 12-hours of Sebring, after the team climbed from the
back of the grid to an impressive third overall with less
than three hours left to go. Its brand new Honda Performance

until a problem with the car's right-rear suspension meant
15 laps and 30--minutes were lost. Once back on the track,

12th in the FIA World Endurance Championship standings

Portland,
Or., May 7, 2012 - The storyline and the results of the
2012 Oregon Trail Rally mimicked the 2011 edition of the
event with Subaru Rally Team USA's David Higgins again leading

PIAA remains the recognized leader in the manufacturing
of innovative high performance automotive lighting and aftermarket
products for decades. PIAA supplies Subaru Rally Team USA
with powerful HID lights that are fitted to the team car
for night rallying and the team with PIAA Super Silicone
Wiper blades.
The Deno series is PIAA’s latest technology
LED lighting derived from the many OEM projects that
PIAA are involved in. The lamps with clear white LEDs
are supplied in pairs with wiring, and help bring
any car up to date with the latest look that is appearing
on new models such as the Porsche 911 Turbo, Audi
R8 and the Audi A5.
They are available as either 6 or 12 LED bulb lamps
and are ideal if used as day running lamps. As they
are LED the current draw is minimal. They are also
available in RED which can be used either as rear
day running lamps or brake lights, the red models
are supplied singly.
PIAA now provides a full product line of lamps and
bulbs designed especially for
Power Sports. PIAA PowerSports Series lamps and
anti-vibration
bulbs are ideal for motorbike, quadbikes and snow
mobile applications
A
distinctive feature of BMWs are their Illuminated
headlamp halo rings. More recently, with the increased
use of HID lighting, these rings appear almost yellow
in comparison with the crisp blue/white light emitted
by HID units. To enhance appearance, PIAA has developed
a range of upgrade kits which increase the brightness
of the halo rings. These simply plug into existing
headlamps in place of standard bulb-based items. The
first to be available in the UK is for the E-90 3-Series,
with kits for other BMW models due be introduced next
year. This bulb and socket assembly replaces the stock
unit to give the vehicle’s headlamp Halo Ring
a clean, white 6500 Kelvin brilliance.
The 100mm race lamp is the latest
edition to PIAA’s superb competition range
of lighting. Developed in conjunction with our customers,
this is an ideal lamp for Sport and GT car applications.
Available in either Halogen or HID. The HID kit
includes PIAA’s ultimate compact anti vibration
competition ballast. Part number L1667 costing £806.05
+ vat a pair
The Halogen version has the added
advantage of using a H4 bulb, therefore has the
facility of low and high beam function. Part number
L1668 with a cost of £249.90 again a pair
+ VAT
