The heat is coming from the inside, not an external source. Edit: Thinking about it, I guess not. Must look nice though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Won't that just hold in the heat to a degree? The heat is coming from the inside, not an external source. Matt black radiates heat thats why oil coolers are matt black, please dont pick on me i am having supra withdrawl symptoms i have'nt driven it in anger now for 3 months and just sit in my garage sulking, i have got that bored i just changed a head gasket on a friends mk3 supra, i am seriously considering decorating the kitchen :( :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeordieSteve Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I heard it was a 2 week turn around on the bl boxes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I heard it was a 2 week turn around on the bl boxes? should be if you get it from Terry, Gamer how do you find the box what stall torque converter do you have Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeordieSteve Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 Great stuff. Yeah only used Terry once but he's very quick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gamer Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I have a 3800 stall. I like the box, just make sure you have good cooling. I run two coolers and one has a 7.5" spal fan. Also I think a T/C lock up switch is a good idea to help keep the heat down when your just cruising about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
