um for the uicp and intake it was 95 and on those parts since there non heating parts it'll last basically for ever as long as you keep them clean just soap and water

so the exhaust manifold and o2 housing was powdercoated? have you driven the car yet? i couldn't imagine the powdercoat would hold up to exhaust temps, they will be over 1000 degrees. even though from the pictures it looks more like a jet hot coating (which works well), not powdercoat.


the intake and UICP would be fine though.


so speaking of powdercoating, i just got my brake calipers done. they are waiting on the brembo decals, but they work great and look fantastic. i know the white calipers and silver rims isn't the greatest, but i'm anticipating some wedsport SA-70 is bronze, so i think that should look pretty good:

I've had them do many things for me in the past for my many projects.. Suspension, Turbo Components, Valve Covers, Pistons, Valves, Calipers, you name it. Their ceramic coating is awesome, and they do the piping and housings inside and out.

Here's their info:

Performance Coating Specialties

817-274-1947

They're right off of the intersection of California Ln. & Cooper in Arlington.

Hey kevin. Did you have to take th calipers apart to get them coated ? And the WW looks awsome with SA 70's, I should know, I am rocking some in the bronze as well right now.

yeah, i completely disassembled them to get them coated. i have another set for DEVO330's car that is completely disassembled, and waiting to get coated as well.

i think in the future though, they wont require splitting the halves... but taking the seals out is a must.
