Get 2 cans, spray one black and one silver with the cheap export paint, leave them in the sun and tell me which ones hotter.

 

 

 

 

This is a different story, the sun is producing heat from outside, in a radiator the heat is produced from inside.

Put hot water in them.... and see what happens

They will both be about the same...and neither will be the same as a radiator painted in radiator paint...as I said...it's a different sort of paint.

thankyou rolla boy, id given up :cool:

hehe Rolla Boy to the rescue!!!

 

Anyways even if you did paint it export black, it would end up looking like shit within a month or so anyway from little rocks hitting it and scraping up the paint.

 

Suppose its better than having half an intercooler due to an hungry kerb :cool: jk....

There will be a difference after a set amount of time...

 

I still think that it would do a substantial amount. But that's just me.

 

 

suddely realises how offtopic this got :cool:

"ke70 project" thread has another pic of a bar that may be of interest.

i don't understand, its just a stock bumper bar...

Isn't it completely missing the middle?

ahuh, its the one called "ke70 build"

http://www.rollaclub.com/board/index.php?showtopic=6000

its interesting, but is it legal?

+ that coolers alot smaller than mine

very interesting idea tho, cheers :cool:

 

oh hold up, just looked closer, thats an oil cooler yes?

I can't wait til you get this on the road... I bet you get pissed with it straight up :cool:

this thread is great as a whole though. great ideas, and even if off topic has good politics. but overall the build is looking good man and youll just have to see what happens to the cooler although it seems that most people think it will be damaged by gutters, pedestrians, rocks. time will tell.

 

and spraying a cooler or radiator with normal black paint would do nothing for it. black would absorb the heat and hold onto it. like wraping a black blanket around you and sitting in the sun. :)

yeah rolla boy, I'm still not sure, but ill just have to see how it goes, i mean alota cars have body kits that are lower

 

muller it has been a good thread, i was surprised to get so much feedback, glad to see all the boys lookin out for me :(

now another question, just thought id chuck it in here, i chucked it in another thread aswell but meh...

i did a bit of running around today getting prices for a few different things inclusing exhaust

all i need is a pipe from the turbos to the muffler, which is behind the diff, I'm getting it made from 3" pipe. what sort of price would people expect today as I'm getting quotes of 400 bucks as my cheapest, is that about right or am i getting bent over?

also intercooling piping, getting it made out of exhaust pipe 2.5" painted gloss black so she'll look alright, price is about 400 including the reducers and and join onto turbo outlet, its 8 bends i think, is this a good price? it was the only place i found that would do it and i thought it sounded reasonable enough

more worried about the exhaust price, what do people reckon? cheers guys :)

turboS??

Yes it's twin turbo
