986 Performance parts wishlist

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

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

So here are the options these prices are shipped anywhere in the us, with mil spec anodizing, and only if I can get 10 orders.

I would like to sell the kits at
-7075 - 190.10
-6061 - 165

Since this is the first production run Ill take a hit and do them at
7075 - 165.10
6061- 141.00

If I can get more than 10 people I can negotiate the prices down. Its a numbers game.

as for 6061 vs 7075. both behave the same thermally i.e. they expand at the same rates. 7075 is significantly stronger than 6061 in terms of raw strength. 7075 is usually used in Aerospace applications for structural parts. 6061 is typical for automotive and non structural applications.

Personally I think 6061 will be sufficient. The oem tubes are plastic which implies they arent subject to high mechanical loads.

If 10 people say they will buy it Ill pay the machinist tomorrow. No money will be exchanged until I have the parts in hand.

You aren't in touch with the M96 audience if you have to ask.

Having said that, I was only joking. Jake and Martin couldn't stand any more competition.

Tikore? ......on planet nine already does them. Very pricey though

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.
