Myself and co-worker watched a bunch of videos a few months ago and found some pretty surprising coatings like:

That ALSA company has been on my radar for years ever since i found them with the color changing temp sensitive paint.....they do have some very cool stuff. They even have some cool wraps...their scratch proof velvet wrap looked cool too :)

Thank you for the real world use/result of the product. I bought some of Eastwoods chrome recently, but have yet to try it.
2% increase in HP is pretty good for some plastic pipe and paint!
Adds mental HP as well, which is priceless
Looks like fun to me!

Hilarious too that I am debating some establishment MG types on the users forum on what I am doing.

They type 2 pages on why it won’t work!

Just told them to bring their MGB and race me 0 - 60 😂🤓😎

Took me 4 tries to get it but I’m definitely there.
Or actually, very close.

W/what I’d done before the ram/cold air, it would pull cleanly to 5500 in all gears.
Which is good for the tractor motor in the MGB.

W/the ram air it will now pull 6k in 1st before you’re ready to shift!

Way cool stuff.
For next to nothing!

Sometimes it pays to be a red neck!

Almost gave up on the MG idea because it was all about me building a hot rod motor for one and I studied the motor!

What a turd!

Bigger stroke than bore, siamesed intake and exhaust ports, 3’ long rods…..
You couldn’t pick a worse 4 banger to hot rod!

W/what this thing is showing me, for how much air it wants, through 1.5” carburetors………, I am stunned.

On the toy side though, they’re still cheap, parts are easier to find and cheaper than for your wife’s Honda!

I can go out in the shop w/a cup of coffee on a Saturday morning while the Mrs is still sleeping, for a 1/2 hr, and find something to fix/improve/update.

And I go back in the house w/a smile on my face.

Fun too that growing up as a muscle car guy, always thought these cars were “cute” but turds.

Now I get it.

The factory owners manual lists front/rear weight bias!
Within 2 lbs!

A blast to slide around corners!

A new Corvette I couldn’t drive at 5/10’s, this thing you can drive at 10/10ths and you’re only doing 60!

Twin,

I'm not sure what they use. They are VERY tight-lipped about it, though....

Chrome painted guitar

Thanks. Brad.

Alsa has made some pretty crazy paints for years
