My 88' CA20E exhaust manifold gets so hot that I lit a cigarette on it the other night! No cat on the exhaust and there's no restriction in the exhaust so what could it be? I bought hotter running plugs and placed a 240 sx throttle body on and was wondering if this could be the reason? I DUNNO!?!

Next... Any one done a Carbon Fiber hood for 200's yet? Currently I am laying a fiberglass mold over the stock hood and by tomorrow will be laying in Black/Blue Carbon/Kevlar. Hopefuly by next week this project should be done.

As always... "Stay Sideways"!

Cast Iron tends to do that. My Celica especially tends to glow bright orange, and apparently it doesn't really matter.

Secondly TechDaddy is creating a carbon fibre hood for hte N/A, and Turbo cars, and hopefully the VG's soon too...8)
