What you guys think - wrinkle black cool?

[Jon K]

I think this contrasts with my engine setup much better than the all-silver and the gold one. The semi chrome engine block/head will contrast awesome with the wrinkle black valve cover and oil filter housing.









I am still looking for a bosch alternator housing! (140 amp or whatever you have!) I need one so I can do the alternator else I am going to have to pull mine out... but yeah, any help is appreciated!

Thats just like what my valve cover is like, i think it will look awesome.

[MBXB]

Awesome look!
Is that all powder coat?

[Sam-Son]

You know looking across that awesome head to that bright thing with all the green tubes and the blues lights (still don't know what it is) I'm thinking to myself...do you own anything that's stock?

EDIT: oh yeah forgot to ask. Would you by any chance offer up your powdercoating expertise and services?

I do sort of have some issue with keeping things stock, honestly. Its actually weird you mention that - computer, camera, xbox, etc. hrm. Am I sick?

I would gladly offer PC service if you have some parts you'd like done. This is all powdercoated.


I did PC the UUC oil lid in wrinkle black also to whomever asked:



Dave,

the silver should definitely be prominent in the engine bay - its so reflective i think it'll stand out NICE. The head is done too. All my charge pipes are wrinkle black and my turbo/downpipe are ceramic coated wrinkle black with a silver compressor side. I was too concerned that ALL the silver would make for horrible contrast. So, this should wrap it all together very nicely!

My xbox (old school version) has an upgraded hard drive, soldered/wired/hacked in wireless networking, firewire ports and runs xbox linux... and its only use is by my dad for his daily game of madden. My home network consists of FIVE wireless routers (average sized three story home) I'm building a computer for my brother just for kicks that'll end up looking a lot like yours. When I was younger I had those nitro powered remote controlled cars.. heavily souped up of course (2 whole horsepower out of a 2.5cc engine, 0-60 <4 seconds) heh. When I was 11 I took a lawnmower engine apart and "souped it up".. I even have a custom paint job on my lcd monitor. I'm always building something. Somehow it hasn't carried over to my car, probably because I don't have the money yet and can't afford to play around with my car too much seeing as I need it to drive daily. But eventually...

What did you manage do to your camera?

OK, Jon, the black looks awesome. But your still have that hideous oil line running up through the manifold. Come on, man, clean it up

Hehe the new turbo will drape itself across the motor you won't even notice theres a motor under it

There ya go...

...but the black wrinkle finish does look a LOT better than the gold, IMHO.
