Samco Hoses and Mr Gasket Shadow Series SS braided lines and AN fittings. Also, Weapon R billet aluminum power steering and coolant reservoirs are good for show. Spray tire foam is quick and easy in the engine compartment.

where are all these things sold ?? online or in autostores

[travis1041]

I have the coolank and steering tanks and a few other things.
I think they dress it up VERY well. But I have more in store for under the hood. Just have to remove alt and do some powder coating and polishing.

90% of the products have been bought online.

Looking tight! Did you buy your WR tanks directly from them? I need a set for racing. I will be PC my alt as soon as I am finished doing the starter. The transmisson is next soon after.

No i didnt get them direct. They came off of clubsciontc.com. They used to have a store on their forum.

BUT, I dont reccomend them. Expspeccially for racing. I have issues with my power steering on sharp right hand turns. On the stock power steering it has tow chambers to keep the fluid from sloshing around. On the weapons rs, the force from a right turn wont allow the pickup to draw fluid. The pickup is at the extreme top, so you would have to fill it complete. Which you cant due to expansion of the fluid.

ANd the coolant tank doesnt have atube to draw fluids from the tank. S when you have over flow from the radiator it fills the tank but cant draw. I had to take a tube and spend hours trying to force it into the hole and to reach the bottoem.

They look good tho.

I will be modifying the power steering. I am going to install a screen inside to keep the fluid from sloshing around. I have autx or tracked the ride sinceI have installed them because of this issue.

Another good idea, not thought out far enough. Can't beat 40% research and development.

Very poorly thought out.

I have considered it. But the minimal gains when compared to the loses are to much for me.

It will make getting warranty work done, much harder. (i am on my second supercharger).
It will make the exhuast sound like crap.
It will make the car non street legal. And in VA they are strict.

And I will be going turbo at some point in time.

Just not worth it for 5-6hp.
