No real update yet, but took home the Flir thermo camera from work to learn how to use it, and got some shots of the car. Realized I should have set the temp scale higher, it maxed out at 302F because I forgot to change the range. Very expensive camera...and I realized there's a lot of adjustments to make for each image in order to pull temperatures correctly. You have to correct for ambient T first, and then adjust for the correct emissivity of each surface...still, had some fun, and got some interesting shots!

Unaltered:


Thermo image:


HKS downpipe with the swaintech white lightning ceramic coat




Another engine bay shot


Oil cooler


Exhaust - pretty sure the temp was wrong here, reflective surfaces are terrible at registering temp correctly



Teaser_ real updates coming soon, hint:
