Even better, those three colours match DBA’s three performance pad compounds. If the green stripe has changed, the disc is telling you it is time to move up a pad. No guesswork, no data logging, no maths.

That is a good example of how DBA think, and we are pleased to say the full range is now available at both Tegiwa and The Brake Shop.

Who are DBA?

Disc Brakes Australia have been making brakes for over forty years. They supply discs to car manufacturers as well as building their own performance range, and they make everything themselves rather than buying in castings and putting a sticker on the box.

Everything they make is a direct replacement, which means it bolts straight onto your car with no brackets, no spacers and no modifications. You get a proper upgrade while keeping standard fitment.

The discs

DBA split their discs into three levels. Here is what you actually need to know about each.

Street Series: for road cars

This is your quality replacement disc for a daily driven car. It is not a cheap disc, it is a properly made one, with better cooling than a standard item thanks to DBA’s “Kangaroo Paw” vent design (more on that below) and a precision machined face that helps avoid brake judder later on.

Best for: daily drivers, road cars, SUVs and vans.

You can have them plain or slotted, if you want them to look good through the spokes. There is also an EnShield option, which is coated all over so the discs stay looking clean instead of going rusty after the first sign of rain.

4000 Series: for fast road and track days

This is the one most of our customers will want. Same direct fitment, but now with high carbon iron, a heat treatment process that makes the disc far more resistant to cracking, and the colour changing temperature stripes.

Best for: fast road cars, spirited driving and regular track days.

The version to go for is the T3 slotted. The slots give the pad something to bite into and give brake dust and gases somewhere to escape, so the brakes feel the same on lap six as they did on lap one. The slot pattern is symmetrical, so there is no left and right disc to get mixed up when you are fitting them.

There is also an XD version if you prefer a cross drilled look, and a plain HD version.

One honest bit of advice: if your car does regular track days, choose the slotted T3 rather than a drilled disc. Drilled discs look great and are fine on the road, but DBA themselves do not recommend them for sustained track use. Slots are the tougher option once you are putting real heat through them.

5000 Series: the top of the range

These are two-piece discs. The iron braking ring is bolted to a lightweight aluminium centre rather than being cast as one solid lump, and the difference is significant.

You save around 1.5kg per front disc depending on the car. That weight is unsprung and spinning, which is the best possible place to lose it. Your suspension works better and the steering feels lighter.

They also handle heat better, because the iron ring is free to expand as it gets hot instead of being locked to the centre, and the aluminium centre keeps heat away from your wheel bearings.

The clever part is the cost over time. When the braking rings wear out you replace just the rings and keep the aluminium centres. Over two or three sets, that adds up.

Best for: serious track cars, club racing and rally.

What is “Kangaroo Paw”?

Every disc has vents running through the middle to let cooling air pass through. Most manufacturers use straight fins. DBA instead use 144 small pillars shaped like diamonds and teardrops.

Two things happen. There is roughly 30 percent more surface area for air to cool, and the disc runs about 20 percent cooler than a straight fin design. It also makes the disc physically stronger.

Cooler brakes means less fade, a better pedal, and discs and pads that last longer.

The pads

Four options, and the three performance compounds are colour coded to match the stripes on the disc.

Street Series: Your standard replacement pad. Quiet, very low dust, made for normal driving. The dust it does produce is a light colour, so your wheels stay looking cleaner.

Street Performance (green): The best all round choice for a fast road car. Noticeably better bite than a standard pad, but still quiet, still low dust, and still happy from cold on the first roundabout of the morning. Works well up to around 438 degrees C. This is what we would recommend for most road going Hondas.

Xtreme Performance (orange): The track day pad. Stronger bite, and crucially it keeps that bite as the temperature climbs, all the way to around 550 degrees C. It is also the right choice if you tow heavy loads.

Be aware it makes more dust and wears faster than the green pad. That is simply the price of more grip. Also worth knowing: more bite is not always better. On a lighter car, a very aggressive pad on the rear can make the car harder to control in the wet. DBA often recommend running the orange pad on the front and the green on the rear, which gives you the stopping power where it matters without upsetting the balance.

Race Performance (red): A full race pad for circuit and sprint use, designed to work above 350 degrees C and stay consistent beyond 630 degrees C. It is not suitable for road driving and DBA are clear about that. It is also only available for selected cars, so enter your vehicle reg to see if these are available.

Which combination should you buy?

Still not sure? Tell us the car, roughly what power it makes, and how often it sees a circuit. We will point you at the right setup rather than the most expensive one.

Bed them in properly

New discs and pads need bedding in. That means a series of firm stops from moderate speed, getting progressively harder, without coming to a complete stop at the end of each one. This lays an even layer of pad material onto the disc face.

The one thing to avoid is sitting with your foot on the brake at a standstill when everything is hot. That leaves a patch of pad material on the disc and gives you a pulsing pedal that most people then wrongly blame on a warped disc. DBA include a bed-in card in the box, so follow it.

Twenty years is a long time to sell car parts.

Long enough that some of the people who ordered from us in 2006 now have kids old enough to be building their own cars. Long enough to go from a couple of lads importing cars and breaking Hondas, to a 28,000 sq. ft facility in Stoke-on-Trent, a 28-strong team, and official UK and European distribution for Mugen.

We thought 2026 was a reasonable excuse to sit down and tell the story properly.

Introducing the series

20 Years of Tegiwa is a new series on our YouTube channel covering how the business came to be, what went right, what went wrong, and everything in between. No script, no polish, just the people who were actually there, talking about how it happened.

Episode 1 goes right back to the start. Before the warehouse, before the distribution deals, before any of it was a business at all. It covers what our Directors Johnny & Luke were doing before Tegiwa existed, how importing Hondas from Japan went from a hobby to something that paid the bills, and the decisions made early on that we’re still living with two decades later.

And yes, we finally answer the name question

It’s the thing we get asked more than almost anything else: what does Tegiwa actually mean, and where did it come from?

Twenty years of fielding that one at shows, in the comments and over the phone. Episode 1 answers it — properly, and with the full story behind it.

What is the Honda Super-ONE?

The Honda Super-ONE is an electric kei car built on the N-One e: platform (the N-One e: is its name in Japan). The styling leans hard into Honda’s hot hatch past, there’s more than a little City Turbo II in the boxy arches and stance, but underneath it’s a thoroughly modern EV.

Power comes from a single electric motor producing 63bhp, rising to 94bhp (70kW / 95PS) in Boost Mode. It’s no monster on paper, but at roughly 1,090kg it’s light, and Honda has given it a more aggressive chassis than the standard N-One e:, with lowered suspension and wider tracks. There’s also Active Sound Control, which pipes a simulated engine note and gearshifts through the speakers, a gimmick to some, good fun to others.

The Mugen Super-ONE body kit and parts

The Mugen Super-ONE body kit is about styling, aero and handling rather than outright power; the electric powertrain is left standard. What you get instead is a properly worked-over kei car:

• Front Wide Arches: fibreglass over-fenders with vents above the wheel wells, around 20% lighter than the steel originals and widening the body noticeably. There’s a matching rear set, plus side garnishes to tie the profile together.
• Front Splitter & Rear Diffuser: a full aero package, finished off by a large dry carbon tailgate spoiler developed through airflow analysis and even though it’s bigger than the OE spoiler, it’s actually 10% lighter.

• Bonnet: a blockier, vented replacement for the standard panel and approximately 25% lighter too.
• Performance Damper: developed with Yamaha, aimed at sharper handling and reduced vibration through the body. Worth more than usual on an EV, where there’s no engine noise to mask anything.
• FC5 Forged Alloy Wheels: lightweight 16×6.5 ET35, sized to fill the wider arches and approximately 7kg lighter than a set of standard wheels.
• Interior: Mugen MS-T semi-bucket seats, and a sports steering wheel for the cabin, which are both still under development. The boot mat and interior sports mat are available.
• Accessories: carbon mirror covers, hydrophilic mirrors, front grille sticker, ventilated wind deflectors and a sunshade.

It’s the full Mugen treatment scaled down to kei size, and it suits the car far better than a wee EV has any right to.

Yokohama has been making this decision easier for decades. With a motorsport pedigree that spans across Formula 1, GT Racing, Touring Cars and endurance events like Le Mans, Yokohama doesn’t just understand high-performance tyre technology, they help define it. Every innovation, every compound development and every tread pattern has been informed by thousands of laps at the highest level of motorsport and crucially, that knowledge doesn’t stay locked away in a garage, it filters down into production tyres that are available to you.

Here’s the thing though, having a world-class manufacturer available via Alloy Wheel Shop and Tegiwa only helps if you’re running the right tyre for your needs. A tyre that delivers brilliant grip when its up to temperature on a track day might struggle in the wet on your wet morning commute. Choosing the right tyre won’t just fail to delivery, but it’ll actively hold back the performance that your car is capable of.

And that’s exactly why we’ve put this guide together. Whether you’re a track day regular or a fast road enthusiast who is looking for confidence in all conditions, then lets find the right Yokohama tyre together.

Yokohama A052: The benchmark of semi-slicks

If there’s one tyre that you’re going to hear drivers talk about a track day, it’s the A052, and for good reason. This isn’t just another semi-slick tyre, it’s the one that everything is measured against. It’s a road legal, track ready tyre with racing performance. We have spent a considerable amount of time testing these over our previous three tyre tests with a variety of cars and we can say with confidence that this one of the best on the market, full stop.

The credentials speak for themselves before you even begin to consider our experience with it. It’s the control tyre for several Time Attack UK classes and the Racing Hondas Championship, a series that demands consistency, grip and reliability no matter what the conditions. What truly sets it apart is that unlike its rivals, when the weather turns, and on British track days, that’s a very likely scenario, some semi-slicks can become genuinely dangerous The A052 eliminates this problem entirely. We’ve witnessed this first hand at Knockhill, where racing conditions turned extremely wet and the entirety of the grid stayed on the track without an incident.

For any driver thats serious about performance, the A052 is difficult to argue against. Whether you’re chasing lap times, building confidence on the circuit or simply just want the best possible connection between your car and the surface, the Yokohama A052 delivers on every front. It’s the tyre that’s trusted by the Time Attack paddock, topped our tests and kept and entire grid on the track in challenging conditions.

Available sizes: 13″, 14″, 15″, 16″, 17″, 18″, 19″, 20″

Yokohama AD09: The all-rounders choice

Not every drivers wants, or needs, a dedicated semi-slick tyre for their car. For enthusiasts who are going to find themselves on the road whilst doing the occasional track day, the Yokohama AD09 offers a compelling proposition: high performance capabilities without sacrificing the everyday usability that road tyres often demand.

The AD09 is a tyre that you can use on the road and then punches above its weight on track. It delivers great levels of grip, responsive characteristics and confident braking. For drivers who turn to the circuit looking to enjoy themselves, improve their driving and have a great time without needing to be at the very front, the AD09 will serve you admirably.

It’s a tyre that you can fit and forget, they’ll handle the daily commute, the motorway miles, and the weekend B-road blast with equal competence. This is the perfect tyre for the enthusiast who just wants one set of tyres that does everything well, no matter where you are.

Available sizes: 17″, 18″, 19″, 20″, 21″

Yokohama V107: The Premium performance tyre for the road

If you’ve checked out our recent cars that we’ve imported from Japan, there’s a good chance that you’ll have noticed that they have arrived wearing a set of Yokohama Advan Sport V107 tyres. This tells us one thing, if the Japanese are choosing to use these, they must be good. After all, they are meticulous for caring and getting the most out of their vehicles.

The V107 positions itself as a high performance tyre designed for the road and it shows the moment you start driving on them. With an exclusive tread pattern, Yokohama have designed it from the group up to deliver precise steering and confident cornering, even at high speed. The high-rigidity shoulder plays a key role, as speed increases, the tyre is able to maintain its shape and grip which ensures that the connection between you and the road stays sharp.

Yokohama has engineered the V107 with variable width circumferential grooves in the tread, using wide 3+1 main grooves specifically designed to resist hydroplaning at speed. When the weather changes, as it often does here in the UK, the V107 handles it with composure and confidence.

As we know, performance tyres have earned a reputation for being noisy on longer journeys, however the V107 manages to buck this trend. With silent sipe technology along the tread ribs, this helps to keep external noise down to a minimum. Sometimes the best tyre is one that you don’t have to think about and the Advan Sport V107 is exactly that. It does everything brilliantly, in all conditions and can handle everything that the road can throw at it.

Available sizes: 18″, 19″, 20″, 21″, 22″, 23″

Yokohama Motorsport Tyres

If you need something for competitive for motorsport, whether that be Racing, Time Attack or rally, or simply just want the best tyre that money can buy, then it’s time to stop looking at road legal tyres and look at Yokohamas dedicated motorsport range. Before you head into this section of the blog, it’s worth checking the MSUK list tyres to see if they comply with the regulations of your championship. We have covered this in a previous blog, which you can check out here.

At the very top of the range is the Yokohama A005 and A006. If you follow the Time Attack scene in the UK then you’ll know why. The Pro Classes, including our very own 750bhp Honda NSX, run on the slick A005 in dry weather and the dedicated A006 wet tyre when conditions demand it.

Yokohama A005

The A005 is a racing slick which means no tread pattern, no compromises and no excuses. The entire contact patch is dedicated to one thing; maximum grip. It’s a tyre that has been tested in some of the most punishing conditions in the world, including the legendary Pikes Peak Hill Climb, where cars equipped with Yokohama Advan tyres have won the overall championship in multiple years.

Available sizes: 15″, 16″, 17″, 18″, 19″

Yokohama A006

When the rain comes in, which it inevitably will, the A006 steps in. This purpose built wet racing tyre with a moulded tread pattern is design to disperse water as quickly and as efficiently as possible. The size range of the A006 has been matched to the A005 (excluding 16″) so teams can swap between dry and wet setups without any compromise to setup or fitment.

Available sizes: 15″, 17″, 18″, 19″

From the iconic RPF1 thats been dominating race tracks worldwide to street focused designs, understanding Enkei’s wheel lineup helps you make the right choice for your build. In this guide, we’ll be exploring some of the most popular wheels available from Enkei.

Enkei RPF1

Part of the Racing Series of wheels, the RPF1 is without doubt the most popular wheel in the lineup and trust us when we say there isn’t a car that these don’t look good on.

What makes the RPF1 truly special is its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. The twin spoke design helps the wheel to better provide stress dispersion on corners and under heavy braking. Available in sizes ranging from 14 to 19 inches, these wheels are astonishingly light, some 17-inch variants weigh in at just 6.78kg. To give you some perspective, that’s often 2-3kg lighter per wheel than standard OEM alloys, meaning you’re shedding up to 12kg of unsprung weight from your vehicle. That translates directly into sharper handling response, improved acceleration, better braking performance, and reduced stress on your suspension components.

Sizes Available: 14″, 15″, 16″, 17″, 18″, 19″

Finishes: Silver, Gold & Black

A SBC (Shadow Black Chrome) finish is also available but please contact us to find out more about this finish.

Enkei RPT1

Since the introduction of the RPF1 back in 2002, truck and SUV owners have been calling out for an RPF1 to be designed for them. Enkei took note and gave them the RPT1, which features the same split-spoke design but is manufactured to suit higher load ratings and 6 hole PCD’s. Available in 16, 17 or 18 inch applications, the RPT1 is one of the lightest and toughest truck wheels available on the market today.

Enkei NT03+M

Next up from the racing series of wheels is the NT03+M. There have been different versions of these throughout the years, but the latest design is now only available in an 18 inch diameter.

The unique feature of these wheels is the perimeter brace ring that is there to improve the strength and rigidity of the wheel. This means that it’s able to resist deformities or distortion from outside forces which directly translates into an improved steering response. With weights starting from just 8.39kg, this is one of the stronger yet lightest offerings in Enkei’s range.

Enkei NT03RR

The RR version (Racing Revolution) of the NT03 makes use of Enkei’s latest MAT DURA II flow forming. With extensive testing, this next generation wheel maximises rigidity over the NT03+M while minimising weight in all the right places.

The NT03RR caters to performance vehicles where larger wheel diameters are necessary to clear big brake kits without sacrificing the lightweight performance that makes Enkei wheels so desirable. Available in fitments from 17×7 up to 18×11 with a variety of different bolt patterns and offsets, the NT03RR is offered in three different concave faces.

The choice between the NT03RR and NT03+M ultimately comes down to your intended use and budget. If you’re building a dedicated race car, competing in Time Attack, or simply want the absolute best Enkei has to offer regardless of cost, the NT03RR is the wheel to choose. Its engineering pedigree and measurable performance advantages justify the premium.

However, the NT03+M shouldn’t be dismissed as a “budget option.” It’s still a phenomenally capable wheel that outperforms most competitors in its price bracket. For spirited track day use, fast road driving, or builds where budget constraints are a factor, the NT03+M delivers exceptional performance and the same motorsport-inspired aesthetics that make the NT03 lineage so desirable.

Enkei RS05RR

Joining the Racing Revolution lineup is the unmistakeable RS05RR. This is Enkei’s answer to enthusiasts who want their wheels to make an immediate visual impact while delivering the engineering excellence the brand is known for.

The RS05RR’s fifteen spoke design is deliberately dramatic. Each spoke features sharp, angular lines and aggressive sculpting that creates intense visual depth and movement. The wheel’s design also works exceptionally well with staggered fitments. The concave pro file and bold spoke pattern look particularly impressive when fitted in wider rear sizes, creating that aggressive stance that defines contemporary performance car aesthetics.

Eneki PF01

The Enkei PF01 is a light, racer-friendly wheel that’s available in a choice of sizes from 15 to 18 inch. Due to popular demand, Enkei have produced a wide array of fitments including 15×8 and 18×10.5, that provide large clearances to suit big brake setups.

The PF01 has become a particularly popular choice amongst Honda S2000 owners, and for good reason. Anyone familiar with the S2000 chassis knows that wheel fitment can be notoriously tricky to get right – the car’s specific offset requirements and limited arch clearance can make finding the perfect wheel a frustrating exercise in trial and error. The PF01’s available offsets and sizing options provide simple bolt-on fitments that work straight out of the box, eliminating the guesswork and potential headaches that often come with aftermarket wheel selection on this iconic roadster.

This attention to proper fitment extends beyond just the S2000. Enkei has clearly done its homework across popular enthusiast platforms, ensuring the PF01 range offers suitable options for a wide variety of performance cars without requiring spacers or arch modifications.

Enkei PF09

One of the latest additions to the racing series of Enkei Wheels is the PF09. It features a contoured 9 spoke design that are aimed to wrap around big brakes that many modern day sports cars are equipped with. Sizes range from 16×7 up to 18×10.5 and is available in two sophisticated finishes, matte gunmetal or dark silver.

Enkei TFR

Simplify and add lightness, the simple approach that Enkei have taken for their all new Tuning Series of wheels. Seven perfectly contoured spokes start from a center with carefully placed cuts to save every ounce possible. The TFR is the wheel you can autocross with on the weekends and drive to work with during the week. It is truly versatile. The TFR is available in 17”, 18”, and 19” sizing in all new Copper, Storm Gray, and limited Gunmetal finishes. The wheel is finished off with Enkei’s signature flat center cap.

Enkei TS10

The TS10 features 10 cleanly cut spokes reach the very edge of the wheel, creating the illusion that the wheel is bigger than its true size. Perfect for those that want to upgrade to a bigger diameter but may be limited due to clearances or tyre choice. The TS-10 is available in concave and flat face profiles dependent on size and width. The TS-10 is finished off with Enkei’s signature flat centre cap and is available in new storm gray, gloss black, or limited gold paint.

No matter what wheels you choose to go for, the entire Enkei Wheel range is available at Tegiwa or Alloy Wheel Shop, with popular sizes kept in stock and on our shelves ready to ship out worldwide!

What is the SCX steering wheel hub?

Before we start telling you about all the amazing new features, let’s explain what this product is and the problems it solves. If you are the lucky owner of a fairly new performance vehicle, chances are that there’s loads of controls and buttons on the OEM steering wheel. If you want to swap the OE wheel out for an aftermarket wheel then you’re going to lose all the functionality like the ability to control audio, cruise control and on BMW’s, the all important M button.

The SCX enables you to install an aftermarket steering wheel whilst retaining all of these controls, programming them to whichever button takes your fancy and illuminating it in a choice of over 16 million RGB colours. There’s also a load more features now thanks to the SCX, so let’s dive right in and have a look at them.

What’s new?

The first that you’ll notice is the hybrid carbon fibre composite that’s crafted with a groundbreaking material formula that’s stronger, more durable and inherently flame-retardant.

The buttons have been re-designed after feedback from the OEM hub where some users fed back that they struggled to tell if they’d actually pressed it. After dozens of prototypes, there’s now a multi-stage tactile button with 2.25mm of travel that provides the most precise and satisfying feeling when pressed, especially useful for those that will be wearing racing gloves.

One thing that makes the Zestek hub so great is the paddles. These have been re-designed to achieve the most optimal actuation feel and travel. There’s also now 15 degrees of adjustability so you can fine-tune them to your exact liking. For those manual drivers, you can program the paddles to whichever function you want. In our Civic FL5 we programmed these to the horn, which was pretty amusing!

One of the main features, and arguably the most exciting, is the addition of the new shift lights which can be set at multiple stages throughout the rev range. These can be programmed to function in a number of ways, (sequential, all-lit, or converging) easily in the new Zestek configurator.

Another great feature is the addition of the smart lights, which feature 4 or 8 different stages depending on how you choose to set them up. These act as a virtual dashboard that visualise live vehicle data directly from the OBD module so you can easily see parameters like coolant, oil, or intake temperatures. This is an absolute game changer when using your car on the track!

The all-new Velolink system is a powerful ecosystem thats is an innovative seamless wireless technology developed exclusively by Zestek. This empowers you to achieve anything you can think of and will support up to 6 wireless expansion modules with auto-pairing so no manual setup will be needed. Included in the box is a OBDII module which can access any data and support firmware updates.

There’ll be a BCM and LCM module that will be released later in the year and these will support dozens of functions that can be controlled directly from the hub.

How easy is it to install?

Installation is straight forward, especially when using our handy how-to guide. To give an example, we installed a Zestek SCX hub onto a F87 BMW M2 in just 45 minutes. The actual configuration of the buttons will take a while longer as there’s so many different options to choose from, and chances are you’ll change these as you begin to use your new setup. However, the new Zestek work station is so easy to use. We suggest sitting in the car with your laptop and the wheel in front of you. Programming the buttons is live, so there’s no waiting for your setup to sync or anything like that.

Here are just a few reasons why PWR products are so good:

• All PWR products are handmade, in-house in Rugby, UK. Parts aren’t brought in from an external source which ensures that the product has the highest quality craftsmanship.
• Whether it’s a Hypercar, GT3 car or a road going Honda, you can rest assured that the quality control process is applied exactly the same.
• Core technology is derived on decades of research from the top levels of motorsport (F1, WRC, Dakar and more)
• You don’t need to worry about cutting your car up when fitting a radiator or intercooler as all PWR products are an OEM fitment with no modifications needed when it comes to installation

We are also excited to be teaming up with PWR this year to take advantage of their custom manufacturing of heat exchange products. Tsuki, our very own Honda NSX, will be using a custom radiator system for the engine and charge cooler to help keep temperatures down and performance up for the 2026 season!

Who else is using PWR products?

It’s not just Tegiwa that are using PWR products on our cars, check out these elite level teams that are too:

“You can get the same cooling technology in your radiators and heat exchangers in your road car that we have in our Formula One car with PWR.”

Max Verstappen – Red Bull Oracle Racing

Drifting is one of the harshest environments for any car to be put to the test, it’s vital that we keep every part performing at their optimum temperature. The team at PWR Performance Products allows us to do just this”

We’ll be adding more and more products to the PWR range at Tegiwa.com over the next few months so keep your eyes out. For now, check out their catalogue of radiators and intercoolers with FREE shipping on all orders over £100 to the mainland UK and worldwide shipping available too.

Thanks to its formula, Halo P1 is incompressible over the widest temperature range and boasts a stable pedal feel from the first lap to the last, especially important in endurance racing. This helps boost driver confidence by eliminating a spongy pedal feel, therefore allowing quicker lap times and podium finishes.

In this blog we’re going to have a look at what really makes Halo P1 so much better than the rest and why motorsport teams from all over the globe are using it.

Purity

Crafted using the purest methyl borate ester which goes through a proprietary multi-step purification process before beginning the reaction process. Impurities degrade performance, reduce the boiling point, and create instability at high temperatures. That is is why they are removed.

The Highest Boiling Point

The purity of Halo P1 allows it to reach an extremely high boiling point of 646°F / 341°C. This means that Halo P1 is able to achieve and maintain a consistent performance up to the highest racing temperatures.

Low Compressibility

Featuring Fade Resistant Technology, Halo P1 is a highly polar fluid. Polar molecules don’t like to occupy the same space, and so resist being compressed. This makes Halo P1 extremely incompressible across a wide temperature range which gives a very stable pedal feel throughout a race.

Lubricity

Lubricity at high temperatures protects and maintains the braking system at high temperatures. Halo P1 has special additives reacted into the backbone of the product to ensure the highest lubricity even at the very highest operating temperatures. This is particularly important for ABS systems and for consistent caliper roll-back.

Who’s using it?

We practice what we preach here at Tegiwa, having used it ourselves in Tsuki, our Honda NSX, during the 2025 Time Attack Championship. This wasn’t just a season in which we took the Pro Class Championship, but a season in which we smashed every single lap record too. As the old saying goes, brake last and finish first, and that’s exactly what we did thanks to Halo P1 brake fluid.

Don’t just take our word for it though, check out all of the other teams using it all over the world. For example, in 2024, teams using Halo P1 brake fluid in BTCC achieved a staggering 48 podium finishes!

It’s not just the fluid which is special, the bottle is too. Manufactured from aluminium 1050A and 1070A, this packaging provides high impact, tear and chemical resistance while also guaranteeing a 100% UV barrier. Plus, the bottle has been drop testing to resist a 2 meter impact over 100 times, so you can be sure that it’s going to stay safe during transportation and track side too.

Halo P1 has now gone from being an inside secret in the motorsport industry to being readily available and stocked on our shelves right here at Tegiwa! If you want to gain an outright advantage against your fellow racers, then head over to our website now to purchase.
