    Paint and Body Ceramic coatings on paint - who’s used what

    I've used Chemical Guys and F11 top coat on the seedos/boat. Does help water bead off better than wax other than that can't say much, Wax/coat them once a year. Chemical guys goes on like wax, f11 is spray bottle and easier to apply.

    03 Cobra wheels chrome vs polished

    Polish wheels will be powder coat clear, very common and easy to up keep just like a painted wheel. Use Wax/Sealer no problem. Chrome is great as long as it is new soon as it gets oxidation or chipping it is done and not much you can do short of paying big $$$ to have it fixed. Personally...

    Interesting build. A lot of trouble to move engine back, wonder what other updates they made to the suspension design.

    Solid info as always, I just ordered a few of the OEM to AN fitting adapters and got the wrong size on one so will have to review what I actually need and try again.

    Electric water pumps HP gain?

    Post back after you've had some use out of it, I just bought a brand new mechanical pump for my current setup but a lil booster pump to run in the pits would be nice.

    Electric water pumps HP gain?

    Perhaps the hose can but it is poor design and unnecessarily risking a failure point. Should be easy to remedy with a homemade brace of some sort. With the pump being less than 200$ that is a tempting addition to any setup if it is reliable.

    Electric water pumps HP gain?

    Interesting, don't care for the mounting on the lower hose with no support to speak of.

    Electric water pumps HP gain?

    That is a interesting idea, would be nice to see some real world feedback on the setup. Many cars now have small remote pumps that can help coolant flow under certain situations.

    Ever get yelled at for doing things the right way?

    That line of BS is why I'm terrified of doing side work. No your car was a hunk of junk before I fixed a-c, d-f are not related.

    Still working on the rear end, got the Upper plates in and painted and the lowers in and welded. Stitch welded the uppers and lowers.

    Exhaust 1995 ford mustang gt 5.0 header question

    The other way to trick the EGR is to stick the plunger down half way permanently. Will usually let the CEL turn off the majority of the time, ran my car like this for long time.

    Help with alternator!!!!!!

    Not sure what you consider high output. I've had a few 200AMP alternators before and only other thing I did was go to larger ground/power wires.
