It's Plasti-kote Anodizit base coat and top coat. about $6 a can at Pep Boys.
resists heat to 500F, gas and oil resistant, very easy to apply, dries fast as sh*t.
If you have bare metal you can just use the top coat and it looks just like anodized aluminum.
I just used 320 grit wet sandpaper to scuff the paint on the peices, then base coat (x2) and top coat (x2). Took about 1 1/2hrs for all. (most of that was removing the peices).
I'm going to use it on my custom IC pipes I have in development too.
Thanks.

 

Looks nice but weird on red...

 

i'm gonna do that also when i get around doing my cams. nice job.now i can't do blue .

 

I was showing an old mechanic friend of mine my engine...he took one look and said, "That throttle cable has to be moved, it's so ugly right on top of the valve cover." In 2 seconds he popped it out of the fasteners and just flipped it back towards the firewall. No probs with throttle function and engine is totally unobstructed now. Was looking for a good thread to mention this in. Anyone else do it?

 

I dunno, i figure mitsu did that for a reason. If you think about itm it coulda been a LOT shorter and went straight to the connection behind the motor. I think its supposed to be there.

 

i think its like that because normally the throttle wire would have came from the left of the engine bay on the RHD Evo's, but now it comes from the right on the LHD Evo's and so that it loops around and has a straight line straight to the throttle body and not a quick turn and kinked up...

 

Bishi, what'd you use on those ic pipes?

 

2 words...HOT-NESS

 

I used neverdull on the IC pipes., radiator, and any other exposed aluminum.

 

Bishi...can you give me the dimensions you used for the custom prefilter or better yet if you can find the part #. Does teh prefilter hinder airflow? Last question...how much was it?

 

Here's my original post on the prefilter. Doesn't hinder air flow. Is water resistant.

Ahh, neverdull. Never used it myself. I clean my IC pipes with a brillopad .
