One name says it all.

Polishing, powder coating, chrome plating, anodizing, custom fabrication (including Lathe, CNC/NC work), rebuilding, installment and so on.

3/12/07 update:
Just showing that once its been polished, and cleaned by me, they then get a special chemical coating of my own creation to sorta seal the aluminum so good, that it will bead water off the polished finish.



The blower in this video has just been polished where I completely disassemble the blower prior to doing so. Because once its done, you want to give the main parts a very thorough cleaning to remove any and all buffing pad material and rubbing compound before its reassembled and used.

Why show water? Well, sometimes the engine bay does get a little wet, and just thought a visual of the sealer in action would be the best way to describe it and how it works so well.

What does this mean long term? Well, you wont be polishing it for quite some time once its been done as compared to other things that get polished and don't have a sealer put on it. Over time, the unsealed/protected aluminum will oxidize and tarnish giving the once had shiny polished finish a dull frosty appearance.

Farnsworth, that polishing stuff just makes me drool. Awesome stuff.

But wtf is this?



And how much does this cost?

Those are billet aluminum end link replacements. On the front anti-sway bar the stock one is plastic, and almost every time is already cracked or broken, plus the stock bolt never likes to come out as it will rust dang near solid to the plastic spacer.

I was cracking mine about every year. Most people never check their suspension, but I make a habit of it at every oil change. (especially the way I drive) Thats when I started seeing this problem.

I replaced them the first time with a good used set, and not too long later, it was cracked again. I had a set made from billet aluminum and gave them a try for a year or two before showing others. Everyone liked them so I had a batch of around 50 made up. ZZP even asked if I would have them made for them so they could resell on their site. I decided not to go into business like that with them, and they understood. But didn't stop them from selling the GMPP/KONI strut knobs as soon as I sold out of mine.

The ones pictured are the second styled ones I had made. The first ones looked like an hour glass, these I called the "four some spacers". If they are made again, I will change the look of them just for the fun of it.

And how much does this cost?

You supply the dog bones and pay return shipping, you would be looking at $40.00 for the set to be chrome plated. Those were done up for pimpprix, he was the fist person I believe to ever have a set like these chromed, and x1fastgtpz had the motor mounts for his car chromed, but he was running the RAT billet dog bones.

Combined together...they would look pretty damn cool IMO.

Damn, I may have to take you up on that offer even though I don't need to. lol

I just sent my fuse box cover and valve cover off to be airbrushed so I'm thinking I need to do a little something extra as well.

Also, which do you think would be cheaper? Sending some Pontiac Aztec mounts in as well to be polished, or sending in stock mounts to be chromed along with those?

Its probably going to be the same either way.

Cool, any idea on how much it'd cost?

Polishing, or plating, should be around $25.00 each.

How much are u asking for the Carbon Fiber Boot????

Hey, while you're at it Farns, what do those end link pieces go for. I remember seeing those and missed out on getting a set.

Jason, ever looked into a phenolic spacer for us Non-ic'ed guys? Something about .5" thick would be perfect. As I will not put an IC on the car till they get a good Gen V design done.

I have only a few left, as they are not made anymore. Last of the last batch...for now.

$25.00 shipped to your door.

I was able to have them made for $20.00 a set, ($10.00 each) and $5.00 in shipping. That was then when I had an awesome connection having these made. He since retired/got injured and doesn't do this type of work any more. Been looking for a new shop, but most charge what retail would sell these for if they were sold through a "real vendor" or "real company". I'm currently looking for, sifting through several local companies to make these again. Hopefully for about the same price or less is my goal.

Have thought about one, yes, but having it made by myself...or me being in charge no. I was going to get one through AnimuL, but that whole thing kinda unraveled.

I myself am not inter cooled myself, nor plan to ever be, and I don't "need" one, but would be nice to have. But I already have a spacer almost ready to go on under my blower now, its my direct injection nitrous spacer plate prototype.

If you looking into a spray bar in the spacer i know a guy who can do it in a product run jason. DevilsOwn looked into making up nitrous kits for awhile since we got 1/2 the stuff here to do so. We made up a few protype kits, just got busy with others ans the nitrous market is flooded.

But he is the guy who makes all of nx express bilit noids I think he makes the spray bars for them too. He quantity's are pretty reasonable too.

Somebody needs to figure that out because spraying it through the SC give cyl 1 too much Giggle Gas and its not evenly distributed. Someday i will have the bottle. Someday.

Usually givers #3 & #4 cylinders too much, but I know what you meant.

Anything at or under a 70 shot can be safely sprayed through the blower as long as your car is tuned correctly.

When I ran the nitrous, I stayed around a 60-65 shot, and only used to to cool intake air, and didn't use it to make power. That was just a side effect.

With this spacer plate I made from billet, each intake runner will get a even shot.

Jason,

I got the fuel injector o-ring kit today. Thanks!

Speaking of Nitrous... couldn't a spray bar be somehow install in the LIM? Basicallly i'm wanting to know, do I HAVE TO have a spacer? I know if I ever considered this, a spacer would give me terrible hood clearance problems, so a spacer for my application would not work at all... unless I want to run no hood at all.
