Why powder coat it and cover all the lovely machining. Nothing better than clear anodised aluminium unless it's uncoated Titanium that is.

Unless I'm missing something obvious then this design will resist the differential rotation generated by the torque reaction of the pinion and ring gear as expected. It's just a more sophisticated design than the other one. Phil

I don't mind it but the cost is prohibitive. As usual they exaggerate their position by comparing a lowered car with wide wheels with a std car. Those 2 things alone make a big difference to how the car looks with regards to aggression and width. So basically they have exaggerated how their...

Have you thought about putting the car on the ground and just jacking it under the rear suspension with the park brake off and doing it that way one wheel at a time and forgetting the brake service mode? Just a thought? Phil

The 1/4 inch reduction was all I could achieve using the Race engineering shift knob and the adaptor style they chose and I copied without removing material from the shifter shaft which I didn't want to do. I was concerned it might increase the lever force too much mainly into reverse but it's...

Yes they have a large hole in them with threads, lol. But seriously my Raceng knob is a lot heavier than the OEM one and I think it improves the shift action. This is a purely subjective view remember and I'm not going to tell you it's a "game changer" but I prefer it slightly to the OEM weight...

I believe the note needs to appear in the pictures of what you have for sale to ensure the images aren't lifted from the internet. Phil

Yea the silver looks good. I messed with that colour and a few others via AI a while back Phil

Basically because it's way cheaper to buy yourself a "kit" than tools individually and you can take advantage of sales specials on a kit more than individual tools. It's also better to have a kit because you can keep things neat and stored logically so it's easy to track if a tool is missing...

Maybe it's because we care about his and your mental health. Not a great thing being angry and frustrated all the time. Phil

Sounds like you need to join your buddy then doesn't it. Phil

As someone whos spent over 40 years working on commercial jets using mainly Snap-on and Proto tools I decided to buy these, more to see what they were like than for the need as I've got way to many tools as it is. You could do a lot worse than these Gearwrench tool for the home mechanic. Phil

Wives tail. Phil

Almost certainly because you haven't used 2K paint. It's a paint with a catalyst for hardening and is very heat resistant. Even stock Brembo callipers can eventually discolour the paint with consistent track day use. Phil

Why not do it yourself with a pack spray can? The paint supply shop can mix any colour you like and 2 pack is at least as good as powder coat for callipers. Phil

Here's how the adaptor works at least one version. I made this myself based on the Raceshift design but I wanted the shifter height lower so I made my own. The adaptor slides over the shift lever and is held in place by the 4 set screws and the knob screws onto the adaptor. The original slotted...

Just do it yourself would be my way but a decent radiator repair shop would have no trouble doing it as long as they were't just interested in the bread and butter work and could be trusted. Phil

Well the gold standard would be to blank one of the coolant holes, inlet or outlet with a pressure gauge in the blank and attach a fitting with an air supply to the other fitting and pump it up to 25psi or so. The supply fitting could be something as simple as a connection with a car tyre valve...

There's only a certain amount you can tell about the quality by looking at it. A pressure test would be a good place to start for further examination. Pretty easy to do. Phil
