What you guys think - wrinkle black cool?

[Jon K]

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!

Also, if anyone has a bosch alternator housing I would love to get my hands on it!

[Antrieb]

I think......



You should spend less time painting parts and more time going to the Dyno to see what this beast can do! When is the new engine ready?

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?

[Jon K]

Flashed firmware on the camera to a modified russian firmware that enables a ton of other features, replaced capacitors in my external flash to allow for quicker flash discharge between shots...

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

There ya go...

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

Yeah the gold was just a little trial I did. I now have 3 powder coated valve covers. If any non vanos guys want a cover coated in any color let me know.
