Yes it will hold up from what I have read. Some of the best out there is this but it's a little more spendy. The BXT should be good to about 300, way hotter than you're car should get.

hmmm....

well maybe i should put some sort of thermometer rig to see if i can measure how hot the metal gets, AND how hot the inside temp is....

i highly doubt it goes over 200 degrees, but then again, i do plan on having it black with a mostly black interrior...

Haha, if I posted all the pics in the Haxor thread it would be way too long with all the projects people are doing. If Dustin comes over to the island in July for some of the comps, I might see if he wants to clamp the amps. I was trying to meet up with him around xmas, but it didn't work out. We all know Sundownz pwns that crotchfire anyways :P

One roll of BXT and 4 yards of ensolite on order, and enough tweed to to the headliner. Just gotta go fnish up repairing my rear shock tabs (damn things broke when taking the shocks off). Got the springs all powder coated all sexy with another leaf added.

Finally got the springs back in, after having to repair the anchor plate shock mount tabs. I bought a set of used springs from a guy. I originally just wanted them to take one leaf out of them and put it into my spring pack. After getting mine apart I noticed that one of the mains had a crack in it by the center pin that was pretty bad. So I ended up using the mains from the ones I bought, which were about 1" taller unloaded compared to my old ones. I cut down a leaf and added them in. After sandblasting/primer/coating, some new u bolts, poly bushings it ended up lifting the rear 2" or so. That's without them settling at all right now. Deadener should be here Monday, and hopefully the tweed not too far out either.
