FC3S Murray's never ending build. - Page 24

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-21-2010, 10:30 AM

That's the thing that worries me though, that it has been done so many times and I would hate to see some guy thinking that becuase it has been done, it doesn't need to be done in any special way, and there is a right way and a wrong way. If the guy is good and experienced and knows his stuff, then I wouldn't worry, but if he doesn't and just knows how to spray some powder, than I would be a little concerned.

Like I said Sean, I don't know the specific temps, I just know that it needs to be low temp, well, lower than the standard Eastwood powder, and the temp needs to be brought up and down slowly.

FC3S Murray · 01-21-2010, 12:18 PM

Interesting you say that man because I called the guy who did my PC and was requesting he come look at the one center peice that has the dbris under the coating. Of course he was very professional and agreed to do it over for free. ANYHOW he started to explain how forged aluminum is very hard to get a good fishish on due to the baking temp.

I will met him this afternoon for him to pick up the one center and am DEFINATELY going to ask him what temp he bakes at for alum.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-21-2010, 12:21 PM

Sounds like he knows his stuff though and knows that AL needs less of a temp. What I like to do is bake my parts first to burn off the contaminents from the inside, then clean them again, then coat them. Works well on anything underhood that was exposed to oil and nastiness becuase it justs burns it off. Stinks like transient hooker ass but works well.

FC3S Murray · 01-21-2010, 03:05 PM

hahaha.

Well I asked him and he said that he bakes aluminum at 375*F for 25 mins cure time. I have read some interesting threads on the annealing properties of aluminum BUT it seems that the TYPE is most crucial. Cast and Forged 356 T-6 aluminum can withstand aging at 305-315*F 2 to 5 hours. The T-7 aluminum can take 435-455*F 7 to 9 hours before annealing. I wonder what these forged WORKs are made of??????

The imperfections on my wheel was residual sand from blasting. It will be fixed asap. Good Shit!!

Thanks man! Yeah tell me about...I had a couple times where only beer numbed the pain in my hands and elbows.

"Better be GOLD!!! "

LOL you are a subie nerd at heart

chibikougan · 01-22-2010, 11:09 AM

Looks Great. I should keep better track. I have a polishing kit for hand drill with assorted buffers, wheels , and super fine polishing compounds. Takes a little bit of the hand abuse out of the picture.

FC3S Murray · 01-22-2010, 03:18 PM

MAN Ransom I would have loved to know that

!!

Polishing was a breeze since I used a Mothers Flex power cone and chicago buffer.

FC3S Murray · 01-27-2010, 07:03 PM

Got my rubber in today..........

235/40 up front
255/40 in back

Hope they stick well. The reviews on these were great and I looked around FOREVER.

***TitaniumTT*** · 01-27-2010, 07:52 PM

NICE!

So how do those compare to the RT615 and the NT-01/NT-05? I can't decide.

Nice choice on the sizes

Well the Falken RT615 and the Nitto NT-01/05's are HARDCORE performance tires. Really for track you and light street driving. I would think they perfrom better on dry conditions then these FK-452's . I WAS going to go with Direzza Sport Z1
Star Spec's but they were known for very fast wear BUT extremly sticky for street tires. A little pricey for my budget range.

I went with the 452's for longer tread life then the others listed and a better "wet" performance if I am ever put in the position of rain when on a road trip. I really wanted some Ultra HP tires that will last a little while until I have to shell out another 500 for more rubber. I have came across mixed reviews having to due with road noise but we will see.....most bad reviews were on Hondas for some reason WHILE the good reviews were from many Porsche, Cobra and Corvette owners.

I was actually thinking in the future of the Falken RT615's for a track tire once I pick up a set of cheap 17'' race wheels.

Cool, thanks man.

Weeeeellllllll I'm a hardcore kinda guy

and I plan on using them for auto-x and such. I was pleased with the wear on the RT615's for future reference. I've heard a lot of good things about the Dunlops but I've had bad experiences with their truck tires so I'm kinda leary about them.

Yeah I hear ya on the wet traction issuue but I ran the Dragon last year in the rain on the RT615's and I was quite pleased with them honestly. I've got no issues running those in the rain which is why I'm not very hesitant to rock some NT-01's for this year.
