Kaan W Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Yes I would say so, it will last longer than heat wrap which can fall apart. It looks alot better and In testing has shown it can work better than heat wrap. The only down side is its alot more money. Yeah thats a good point! It does nice but saying that I think heat wrap can look equally nice if done properly. I suppose its all down to what ones budget will allow.

Callaway Motorsport Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I Find the normal (not titanium) heat wrap to be deterring mostly. Most cars we have as projects see it rot away and actually affects some of the stainless steel sometimes. Coatings work better all of the time. We used Zircotec on our Exhaust manifold (white) and wrinkle black on the cam covers. Makes it a hell of alot more durable and heat resistant.

Lee P Posted January 24, 2013 Author Share Posted January 24, 2013 Fitting for the brake lines, all stainless steel Not sure if this has been done on a supra before but we are using quick release fittings for the rear brakes. Jay will be swapping over to NA brakes to put drag wheels on and these fittings mean that you can disconnect the brake line with out loosing fluid or needing to bleed the brakes.
