Spamby's '08 STi

Sort of there.

 

[Spamby]

Never mind the wire. That's just to keep it on for now.
Decisions now. Hold it on with stainless zip ties or find some capstan rivets and use wire?

 

[Alin]

Keep the wire. :tard:

 

[Spamby]

Keep the wire. :tard:

Uh yeah. Probably not. Looks like shit.

Speaking of shit? These damn tapatalk pics are horrible.

 

[Spamby]

Look at the size of this maxi pad! Lol
For your heavy flow days.

 

[Spamby]

Heat test. One minute with flame contact. Should be at 2000* at that point.

 

[Alin]

I see the flow stain. :fuji:

Good results thus far?

 

[Spamby]

So far. Kinda smells like pancake syrup burning.

 

[Alin]

:lol: I don't care about smell as long as it works! :tard:

 

[IGOTASTi]

Might as well make a DIY/ How To! :rofl: [MENTION=1]IGOTASTi.COM[/MENTION] Look! :tup:

Oh boy, lol.

It does. My car smelled for almost a week. Took that long to burn in.

 

[Spamby]

Oh boy, lol.

And give up trade secrets? Lol

 

[Spamby]

I dunno. We'll see if it grows on me.

 

[Spamby]

And another. So used to the RC antenna.. just looks weird. It's stuck so I'm not taking it off.

I missed this discussion. Your sewing looks like something off of frankenstein! And that stainless wire isn't the most graceful solution. What's the alternative?

Hey now! Took me a long time to get that stitched. Lol.
Stainless wire is what's typically used. It's not pretty but it works. However, I do agree that there is something better. Stainless ties would be better and more attractive. Other than that, I can't think of anything that would secure it because of the up pipe preventing a full wrap. So snaps or hooks are out of the question.

Ordered some Nomex thread. Gonna see how well that does against the heat.

 

[Spamby]

Nomex thread received. Put a few strands on stove grates and it didn't melt. The color changed from black to red but it still remains strong. The burner was on high for 40 minutes before cutting the flame and applying the thread. I would assume the grate temp was well above 500.
Supposedly the max temp is 700 degrees with a working temp of 500 to remain 80% strength.

Gym action today. lol

Fiberglass cloth is getting crusty on the turbo. This means the temperature of the cloth is being exceeded. Currently in search of silica cloth or better yet , someone that sells by the yard.
So it's either get a cloth with a higher temp rating or forgo the cloth entirely and utilize the mesh.
