a good turbo/ic coupler resource

I purchased some couplers from them and they are very cool to deal with and have great quality couplers/clamps at an impressive price.

Here is a pic of the couplers on my car:

mine were like $5 or $6 each....and that was with the nice clamps that dont eat up the hose, but i replaced the clamps with constant torque ones for racing.

I just got some Thermaflex hose for the same price range, and the stuff looks indistructable. I saw the guy cut it with a knife so sharp goes through paper and he STILL had a hard time cutting me a 6 inch portion into two 3 inchers.

Damian,
You should have told me you were going to use CT clamps. I have about 3500 in stock! Can I use that picture? And one more thing......I am working on yellow silicone! I will be ready for testing in a few weeks.

BTW Thermalflex went out of business. It is very difficult to cut this hose. We spin it on the lathe at several hundred RPM to keep consistant cuts.

hey high temp,

>>Can I use that picture?

sure you can use the picture if you just add a little credit like 'Picture taken from Damian Dela Huerta's 1993 RX-7'.

I can make another one to, with the entire car shown in the upper corner so that they can see what kind of car it is and that is a 'serious' track car.

>>BTW Thermalflex went out of business.

i have talked to thermalflex for more coolant hoses and they are 'changing', bsically went out of business like you said, and were consumed by a mother company or somthing like that, and going through reform?

>>You should have told me you were going to use CT clamps. I have about 3500 in stock!

hehe, these were on the car before, otherwise i would have ordered them from you too :-)

Kind of, Tim and Todd had to sell the company. There was some really big money issues towards the end. Several suppliers and big customers were burned. Now it is under new ownership but still in Mexico.

Why dont you do that and put a watermark on it or something. I will put it on the new webpage. I still want you to build me an intro page. We can talk about that some other time.

I just bought my vinyl cutter to do just that![

Therma Flex went out of bussiness but I guesse they had some left over. Like I said, the **** is TOUGH. Very very unlikely it will ever die again.
