We’ve just received a very small number of Cosworth Formula 1 DLC-coated pistons that we can now offer for sale. These pistons were removed from one of Cosworth’s incredible 19,000 rpm TJ engines that raced in 2004. Even though they are now 20 years old, they still represent the forefront of piston technology. Exclusive to Modatek, you can acquire one of these fascinating engineering works of art direct from our on-line store here: https://lnkd.in/ewXBJUdV #Cosworth #Formula1 #F1 #Memorabilia #GenuineParts

We are often asked how we first got involved in selling Cosworth engine parts. Back in 2013 we had started Modatek as an engineering consultancy after co-founder Matt Grant had spent nearly two decades working at Cosworth. One of our first enquiries was from a customer who needed ignition cable clips for his Formula 1 engine, but he wanted to make sure that they were as original as possible. So once we had agreed with Cosworth that we could become their historic engine parts distributor, and armed with the original drawing, we reverse engineered and remanufactured the clips. Fast forward 11 years and we’ve been able to reverse engineer and remanufacture hundreds of engine components for a vast range of Cosworth engines, from BD and YB to more recent F1 engines. We’ve supplied piston sets, rods, fuel pumps, brackets, bearings, gaskets - the list is endless. But our roots began with this humble-looking little clip. Can you identify the Formula 1 car in the photo though??? (Clue - it was a race winner in 1990) #ThrowbackThursday #Cosworth #Engine #GeuineParts #F1 #Formula1

30 years ago today Michael Schumacher took a controversial first F1 championship after a collision with title rival Damon Hill. It would also turn out to be the last championship win for Cosworth. What did you think of the result? You can read about the time that we helped restore the engine for this car here: https://lnkd.in/d6jmUCtd

This year's NEC Classic Motor Show seemed busier than ever and just proves how popular the classic car scene is at the moment. Here are just a few of what seemed like dozens of Cosworth-powered cars that were on display. It was great to catch up with everyone again! Modatek are Cosworth's official distributor for their historic engine parts, check out our on-line store here: https://lnkd.in/eiyDJAXa #Cosworth #EngineParts #GenuineParts #BuildBetterEngines

We were shocked to hear that after a 39 year run, Fast Ford will no longer be available in print form, but at least it lives on through social media. The team at Fast Ford were very supportive of our quest to supply genuine Cosworth engine parts, and we will forever be grateful for their support. Here are a few photos of an event at Cosworth HQ that we worked on with Fast Ford to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the Sapphire RS Cosworth way back in 2018. #FastFord #Cosworth

🧐 We always like to see photos of our products fitted to our customers’ engines. 📸 These photos were kindly supplied by Chris Buchan, who has just installed our Cosworth YB long rod 8.5:1 pistons into his engine. 👍 Looking good, Chris! 😁 Like we always say, if it says Cosworth ON the engine then make sure you fit Cosworth IN the engine. #Cosworth #YB #EngineBuild #Pistons #GenuineParts #BuildBetterEngines

Back in stock, but not for long! We have available a very small number of Cosworth Formula 1 pistons, as raced in the 2004 season in the incredible 19,000 rpm TJ V10 engine. The last time we had some of these pistons in stock they sold out almost straightaway. If you'd like to acquire this unique piece of F1 tech history then you can do so directly from our online shop here: https://lnkd.in/eA7wFSmh #Cosworth #Formula1 #F1 #Pistons #GenuineParts #Memorabilia
