Hypereutectic only refers to the type of piston, i.e. what its made out of.

And, piston coatings arent legal for Honda Challenge or IT racing.

*ahem*

*whistles*

Hypereutectic pistons are usually coated, they look whiteish. TD people never use them, I forget why it is bad. RJ, you know the most about what you are doing so I will stop asking questions now. ROCK ON! RJs Race motor will be the N/A bling.

They come stock in mustangs up to 03/04. Basically between reguar pistons and forged. Hypereutectic is the process used to cast them. They blow for an engine that is used hard and a BIG nono in forced induction areas.

.RJ, where are you getting your vinyl at?

[.RJ]

Some of it I got from edecals, and the rest from signs by tomorrow in fairfax.

I don't think I'm getting any anytime soon. I just ordered a few numbers and letters. Just wanted to check on pricing elsewhere.

Finished up the exhaust work today - at the last event of the year I went topshelf out of the toilet bowl at shenandoah and dented up the header:





So I went down to see Dave (SMS Products) to have him fix it up for me and make me a new, more lighter, more louder exhaust Cant even tell the header was hurt I should have taken pix of dave doing his thing, but his work is quite impressive.





Multi-piece bling!



Old n' busted



The new hotness

[Dave]

that's hot. I didn't think your car was really all that loud, so now maybe it will actually sound like a whiny HC car :-).

[.RJ]

After much fiasco and parts swapping (main relay, ecu, ignition coil, entire dizzy, plugs, wires) I found that connector we used to tap the ignition coil wire for the kill switch had come apart - argh.

Once that was fixed she fired right up Its very loud, and sounds very, very pissed off. H4, watch the fxck out!

[Mike]

because loud = fast.... right?

[Feersty]

Did you spraypaint your wheels white?

[.RJ]

2 1/4" pipe on the exhaust.

[Nis01]

That thing got a HEMI?...

Sounds very intimidating RJ. Very nice.

[lyltoy]

sounds really good

Ok, so is there a secret handshake for CV boot clamps?

Those goddamn things are a pain in the ass - I put new das boots on my spare axles. And to top it off, Redline CV2 smells like pure, concentrated vomit. Ugh.

That's a good question. When I was rebuilding my CV joints, I had terrible time getting those god damn clamps to tighten. I ended using channel locks, and prayer before I got them to tighten sufficiently. Or you can just say fuck and using big ass zip ties though they need to be checked often.
