they are using those chrome coatings on drag cars and motorcross pipes, so I reckon it must be pretty good, even some of the professionals use those coatings like motoGP bikes and pro motocross as well as heaps of drag cars...

ye, but those guys don't care if it has to be re-done every 2nd race meet

post a hires pic of your engine bay and I'll shop it with different colours if you want... thats what I did for mine and I had a thread here to help me decide, its not until you can see the colours together on your engine bay that it can considered the right choice I reckon...

oh come on Zebra dont shoot it down... I want the chrome colour look.... Im gonna ask them how the motoGP bike fairs after a few race meets...

I know the commodore drag car they have done the whole engine bay on in chrome hasnt been redone ever and still looks awesome...

Yer thats what i think to. but i cant find anything... the battery the way it is stands out like dogs balls...

Was thinking of getting some stainless steel and making something when i make the box for the pod

I think because there is some black in the bay, electrical and vacuum hoses, that the contrast of the blue isnt enough.

so maybe reduce the black, easy way and cheaper than replacing or cover all of the tired look hose and wire coverings could be to use stainless steel sheet to cover all except engine, fuse box, air intake. that would make the engine the focus so any colour would 'pop', custom box, or arc intake box and cool fuse box cover. the only other thing you would see is the strut brace and possibly use some venting on the stainless covers to keep things interesting and functional heat wise perhaps...

that would tidy it up, give it that custom show look, easy to maintain and nowhere near as expensive as colour coding or replacing a heap of other stuff... definitely have a wow factor when you open the bonnet... i'll shop it up and show u...

kinda like this....

maybe a tad more space around engine to allow for some movement, but this way it keeps the focus on the cool stuff and makes it so you dont have to keep all the wiring and hoses in mint awesome condition to have a wow factor bay....

    • Yeh I think i'll message an old contact i had for ages that manages his own tyre shop now.. n tell him what i want n work with him before ordering..  Got this 17x9 +30 Driftteks on 245/45/17 PSR Drag Radials on the rear.. They fit well - for your reference in future - Rear guards  have been lipped in & minimal to non flaring of the rear Gaurds.  
    • If only it were that easy! I also needed to remove seats, shocks, brake calipers, send my car through a fence, and use measuring and ended up guessing because I didn't remove seats, shocks and brake calipers. It can be hard sometimes Can be a little more complex than 'just measure' if you want to truly measure the entire wheel through all of it's suspension travel. But if you aren't going for every last mm then yeah, you can check the space you currently have and guesstimate.
    • If you own a car, and it has wheels on it, and you know the offset of those wheels, and you have a measuring device, you have everything you need to work out if other wheels will fit.
    • Will this fit? but they are staggered set - RAYS 57DR SEMI GLOSS BLACK 18x8.5 +37 | 18x9.5 +38 5-114.3 STAGGERED SET   or If no go could just get a set 4's wheels of 18x8.5 +37 5-114.3 - would i run 8.5's 235s up front n 245's at the back if I do?   Thanks.        
    • Put a clamp on your return line. I have a feeling it's sucking air, and introducing bubbles to your fuel. With a lot of fuel, less problematic. I'd honestly be redoing all the lines in the tank and clamps on everything.   Also, you've given two different answers to the same question: Asked if being followed by the police you could get down to use the whole tank, you said yes you could, so long as you keep off boost. However, you then followed this up that free revving, it would also cause the issues. I'm doubting free revving is enough to make any noticeable boost on what is likely a decent sized turbo.   So now I have to ask, can you actually drive it lightly and use all the fuel, or does it break up even free revving? Also, have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it? Can you hear the pump change noise at all when you're having this issue?
