Dramatically cuts down the heat which is always a problem in the Cerb engine bay check out the Camcoat web site its interesting, my new ones are being done as we speak getting them fitted next week at APM and i will let you know what they are like

Cost estimate?

I hope its not just coating on the outside... can be detrimental to the mild-steel tubing...
Proper coating should be done in and out...
Also, there is a very good ceramic-aluminium-silverpowder coating available which gets applied and then the whole header is placed inside a vibrating machine with a fluid containing ceramic beads - basically smooths and polishes the headers to perfection...

Yes it is getting done inside and out satin black on outside cost is approx £280 + vat for the pair i think

Monster? hehe

Coming on fine - slower than I expected but thats the usual...
Had some massive changes in engineering design today - looks like I wont be needing the NOS installed, hehe, more secrets... Also checked out the new custom rear differential that was delivered - f'in MASSIVE! and light!... and the sheer thickness of the driveshafts made me tremble... the extra time is being spent on getting everything spot on, we've been looking at some new space-age ideas for taking the power further and we've got some pretty amazing things drafted up - stage 1 and stage 2 are now happening together - so when she comes out - she will hit the strip straight away - until we have fine tuned her, cut more holes here and there where needed, and once done - then of course the bodywork...

I am hoping the main work will be done by end of business January.... and I'll just drive around with her looking like she's been rammed for a bit till I'm happy and finish the body off (like we talked about - ssh!)...
