You have no idea how fun it is...

your car= sickness

Some serious money into these engine bays. I certainly don't have that kind of cash, but I like to keep what I have nice and clean. Excellent work everyone!

A quick update on my work in progress...

oh my gawd... dunno what else to say......:Drooling_

Angel has such a sleeper.

Good gawd that f&*ker is huge!!!

I must say, you could eat off that Renny!

Chris, is this the complete current package from you? Or does this setup have your one-off custom pieces, like the intake manifold, etc. And whats up with the inlet box?

I want to be in here

update

Attachment 271888

yeah - that is really slick

Damn Alt you did it before I could, I was going to do some gold heat barrier on the firewall! Looks great

Thx. I also covered the blue aluminum part of the RB intake. After taking it for a long run I realized how hot that piece becomes. I should also note the film expands and contracts with temps. The film smooths out completely after a nice warm up.

latest pic of the bay.

Where do you get this and does this come in other colors like black

yeah Josh cut the crap with the hording the goods. i need that crap for my AC pipe atleast. can you share your supplier or atleast let me grab some off of you for $

DEI Reflect-A-Gold heat wrap

Yup, or HRP makes it as well. Simply Google "Gold heat reflective film"

so its only in gold then?

God have people just given up on searching all together,,,
now people dont even know where or how to get basic supplies,,,

Are you people retarded, AltSpace didnt choose gold for its color,,,
Search best heat reflective materials used in car,,,

I wonder how some of you people function at all, sometimes,,,

:yelrotflm

Well I actually liked the gold color. I got the idea after visiting my friends from Roar Racing at Lime Rock Park last year. It really does make a difference.

This is one of their RX-8s and me in it.

http://www.altspace.com/lrp08/images/PICT2374.jpg

yeah well Im sure you know Roar and all the 8s in Koni are using that not for the color,,,

But if you did, you did,,, personally if I used it I would tell people that I am using it for its functionality not for aesthetics,,, the best aesthetics on any car are those that are purpose driven anyway, once you start leaving that arena thats where terms like "rice" start sneaking thier way into peoples vocabulary...

^i agree

i asked if i could have some of his for $$$ because i could drive down to meet him if he had extra and save me from buying a bunch for such a little project i had in mind and ask in person the best way to apply it to the intended area. plus relinquish some of the spent $ he had invested if he had extra.



i would say he knows what it's for.

well said.:rolleyes:

I might use that on my airbox.

just because i asked its color doesnt mean I want it for looks, but I am also not going to wrap my engine bay in gold if I dont have to. take the stick out of your ass, you make more mods for looks than anyone on this site (not that its a bad thing)

LOL I hear ya man

I got the idea because this slow ass Mclaren uses genuine 24k gold plating under the hood just for looks:

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi..._F1_engine.jpg

The mods I make serve a function and thats why they look so good, the only one that I know of that doesnt have a function are the eyelids which Im making just to fund my bigger projects,,,

Im not trying to start anything with you, but your statement seems to contradict itself,,,, Lets say the 'material gold' happen to have the color purple, Teams like Roar and Eric Meyer, etc would still have it in thier engine bay serving its purpose, I doubt you would have asked if it came in a different color if you would have seen the 'purple gold' you dont have to wrap your engine bay in the 'material gold' its something you can do, you can use aluminum, brass, copper, whatever you want but they wont be as effective in deflecting heat, you can do whatever you want, if your interested in 'heat wrap' it will not matter what color it is,,,

yeah silly McLaren just tryin to be baller,,, hahahh

Looks good Tony, does it run yet????

yeah it runs. the idle is a little off so i need to check a few things before i feel comfortable driving it.
