Some long awaited pics of my heat dispersant coated (www.cradin.com) AMS IC & Diamond Black 17 x 9's.






Thanks to Marty @ Injected Performance for the last set of Diamond Black Ce-28n in the country.






I'm so impressed with the coater that I think I went a little overboard and had them do my manifold, hotside and downpipe. www.cradin.com




Thanks to Frances @ A-spec for hooking it up, as always, with this Personal steering wheel.



Pics don't do it justice but I have to keep wiping the drool off



^ Biggest thanks to Josh for helping me out and being the creative consultant on the entire project.

 

everytime i see those rims i fall in love!!

 

Hey Shaheen, nice pics! Let me know if there's anything you want to get rid of (those sexy rims included!)

 

very sleeper , im sure it will keep temps alot cooler ... Prices on what u paid?

 

 

Thanks guys.

Coating on IC was $130. Here go a couple of more pics of the wheels.

 

damn as soon as i order my ams IC and piping i'll have to let you hook me up with your guys that do the coating.

was nice meeting you in houston

-ED

 

The IC looks great, I have a Red 03 will be doing the same thing.

 

looks awesome! where did you get the wheels from?

 

that is just a plain beautiful car that was done right. Thumbs up to that. Any suspension plans?

 

nice

 

i found the answer i'm such a noob sorry!

 

Wow, looks good and helps to dispense heat too? I'm impressed.

 

This project truly came together smoother than any other car I've been a part of. Shaheen and I ran with this one when it came to the details Many would call it mild but considering that there will basically be zero support/parts availability for this vehicle where it will be going we had to take on Volvo like anticipation for the worst case scenario when considering it's components.

Getting a vehicle back to right is always a treat, doing so for such a friend as Shaheen is just the icing on the cake

As for the coatings, let me clarify. The AMS i/c has been treated to a thermal dispersant to actually aid in dissipating heat better than bare metal alone. The exhaust manifold, hotside, and the down pipe were all treated with a 2000 degree thermal barrier coating. A HUGE thanks for the wonderful people over at Cradin Industries. Their work, attention to detail, and customer service is second to none.

We went overboard but as I have stated in the past, this car is going to what could be considered and enviromental hell for a turbocharged vehicle. I'm speaking only in terms of a mechanical standpoint Shaheen! Gahhh!!!

Last but not least, a big thanks to Ben for coming through with the o2 housing bracket at the 11th hour

 

i like everything you have done here, your volks are sick!!
