Questions-

1- do you plan on anodizing or powder coating any of the parts, if so, what color ?

2- You mentioned using the "Zoops Seal" on some aluminum wheels. I've been asking about the use, application, and most of all, the longevity,.....of Zoops.
I've red the information from their website but, I want a honest, true to life customer, to give me some results.

How long have you,.... used the product ?
Is the application easy ?
Does it discolor after a period of time, chip off, peal ect.,.... ?
Can it hold up to heat and fuel, like for a intake ?
What do you do if the product needs to be reapplied ? (for what ever reason)

Again, the "longevity" is my main concern.

Please post here or email me your thoughts.
I'm anxious to see the Avon tires on your car, since our cars look very similar.

I would appreciate the "MM & FF" information.

Thanks,
Kev

Kev,

I sent the article to you via e-mail.

Here is the link to Performance Unlimited where I buy my Zoop

http://performanceunlimited.com/cobr.../zoopseal.html

I treat the Alcoa wheels on our service trucks with Zoop so they do not oxidize. The old wheels (we drive the trucks all year round) really got so bad that they could not be brought back without a lot of effort. The Zoop wheels we treated 4 years ago need soap and water, and they look great.

It is not too hard to put on, but I would not want to do it on the wheels we have after the tires are on. It's easy without the tires. It takes some time, but we have not had the appearance or maintenance issue on the "zoop'd" wheels. I have never "re-applied" it.

My understanding (I have not tried it yet) is that there is no problem "Zooping" the intake. You could call Randall at Performance Unlimited and talk to him as he has.

Should have Avon tire pics soon, but no engine in the car.

Hope this helps!
