Stainless Steel hose kit?

Stainless Steel hose kit?

Postby Fastlane051 » Wed Feb 28, 2007 4:24 pm

I found a Spectre Stianless steel radiator hose kit does anyone have any thoughts on this?

Has anyone used any hose kits on their solaras?

:roll:

Yeah I got thought on that, don't waste your money on that B.S. Just drive the car and let it speak for itself, Its a solara not a Lambo ,feel me.
Its like this bro,to many people on this website are hooked into this who can get the baddest Solara by bolting on after market parts. If you really want to do something radical, install a narrowed rearend with 33x21.5x 16's tires in the back. All this other stuff these guys are doing is just fribulous.Oh yeah, don't forget to stretch the rear wheel wells.

Braided stainless hoses are for increased brake pressure feel. Rubber hoses expand when the pedal is depressed. Braided covers over rubber hoses will expand less making the pedal feel more firm.

Depending on how soft the OE lines are, it is worth the money (in my opinion).

braided steel lines

Postby Sentinel » Wed Feb 28, 2007 7:12 pm

Regular rubber hoses have braided steel inside them... I guess the "extra" steel on the outside makes them even stiffer?

Oops, I for some reason thought we were talking about brake lines. Jagermeister too early in the evening, or maybe the Tecates. :drinking:

As for the radiator kit, If you like it get it. It does nothing for performance just looks. IMO, I think they would look better on a old school American big block engine.

^^^ HA HA!!! That reminds me of the "NOO NOO" from the Teletubbies! (A stark reminder that I have four children... :o )


NOTE: The NOO NOO is a "vacuum-nosed-large-eyed" character that "slurps" up "tubby pudding" after the "tubby pudding machine" goes berzerk!

HERE he is....

Crisp: By all means cut one: I know what I'm talking about. Do you think plain rubber could withstand the pressure?

I think kevlar is a good idea: it is stronger per weight than steel. Never seen them before, tho.
Although: the "Kevlar" label is kinda dumb.
