986 Performance parts wishlist

[Nine8Six]

Not for sale Monty sorry bud. R2specracing's idea to commercialize those really... I've just made a set for my box car and mind you, those purple seals I got may have fused to the engine by now. Haven't pulled them out to check since I've installed them so might be a permanent fix I've 'invented' lolllll

Needs R&D on the seal part that's for sure. I remember toasting two @300F for about 2hrs when I got them. They survived the heat but didn't survived a flame - died in less than 10secs.

Aluminum 7075 anodized with an industrial thickness is the way to go imo, that I'm 100% certain. Hope OP will make them that way instead of steel (steel is way too hard to machine also, raise prices).

Out of 6 tubes I've pulled, only two were not cracked or defect. Oil dripping and all.... this plastic tube thing is lame

No worries!!! I really like the concept though. Fused is much better than leaky and smelly LOL..Thought I'd check since you are responsible for some mighty tasty projects!

awesome work nine six yeah I could use 7075 its a little harder to source but way better than 6061 in terms of raw strength Thermally though they expand at similar rates. I would have to coat it though because 7075 isnt as corrosion resistant. i like steel because it wont expand as much as aluminium so it will hold tolerance better.

I got my tube in today if people are interested i can get a batch ordered this week. and make a set

I want to make them at my local machinist because I can trace the materials and make sure they arent being made from sub par materials. If my name is going to be associated with something I cant have parts breaking in service it will be a little more but better. Im nervous about using non traceable parts inside an engine.

If i can get at least 5 people to say they will buy a set ill move on it. Ill also beat him up on the price to get us a better deal. its a numbers game though the more units i order the lower the price

[rayner@r2specracing]

I just got back from the machine shop im having them do a quote from different materials and annodized vs non.

Ill update with prices shipped tomorrow.

How about some Titanium lug bolts?

How about a cheap permanent fix for the IMS bearing?

[rayner@r2specracing]

Can you give me more info on the IMS bearings?

and titanium wheel nuts are definitely doable. Ill see if i can design something up

To recap
aluminium spark plug tubes
skid plates - I have a potential solution for this one
AOS solution

That's why I made the suggestion, I am tempted to buy some I saw on 6speed online for $225 but they are made in China.
