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.
