i was considering the same thing, diablo. i figured that the fiberglass would be impervious to cracking. i would just sand down the ridges, put a thin layer of FG on there, and sand it.

if i had to guess i would say conical, and since you're getting new lug nuts, why not get them there lightweight anodized ones? i think they look nice and, well, why not? reducing unsprung weight FTW!

i think that CF for a dash would n't be ideal because if the dash is shiny it will reflect the sun's light into our eyes, either directly or reflecting off of the windshield and that suede looks NICE

all that should really be required is the hardware; ie the valence panels and the turn signal assemblies...

new>>>>>>>>>>>old

agreed this is a great thread; i'm glad to see so much coming out about [insert company name here]'s CAI box, as i was considering getting one. guess i'll have to wait until the USD heads back up before i think about the CF one, though

good stuff.... but keep it safe out there.

oh, and have fun with your dist timing! i know i did

^agreed. clean setup, and looks like it will work just fine

i got a good laugh out of that...

rust would be your concern on the cam and valve guides; other than that, if you leave it sitting for a while the aluminum will oxidize. how long are you going to have it off? after rinsing it you could use WD40 on it....

i was wondering if such a creature existed! thanks for confirming it and giving me a new project

ya, if anything the extra lift (read: drag) would give worse fuel economy. think about it; smoother aerodynamics allow the air to flow around (above, etc) the car. the majority of the work that the engine is doing at speed is fighting the effects of the air/wind that is trying to remain in place (as an example, think of water. a blade running through water will gi faster with less work than a blade with anything, ANTHING attached to it... well, besides a motor ). with that example in mind, anything that is going to be added on to a vehicle to alter lift, etc will incrase drag unless it's used to smooth out transitions. at least that's with my admittedly limited knowledge on the subject...

ya, get that car if you can.

^ya, since i installed a hot cam, i have to have the choke on to get reliable braking power. try braking with the revs up.

that looks cool but dangerous and scary!

at that rate why not just hot tank it?

nice!

i wonder if anyone over there wants to trade me emblems

ah yes.... that was a favorite vid of mine for a while...

that's a MODEL! i was like... something looks a little off.... then i looked at the engine and i was like, that looks like one piece.... wait a sec...

totally awesome thread guys. i may be off base with this, and i may be foolish for asking, but in regards to the coolest cooling medium and which places it should go to: how about the coolant entering in more than one place? like it splits from the radiator (or electrical pump) and goes to 2 inputs: one to the head and one to the block? i realize that it might be a bear ensuring that one doesn't counteract the other and it may cause eddies, but with enough fabrication it might work....

that should help a little... i HATE it when i miss a word when i type. then i go back and look at it and think "wtf was i saying??"
