WI Bolt Kit from HIMNI Racing.

I recently purchased a bolt kit from HIMNI Racing out of Florida. The cost is 84.00$ plus shipping. I just recieved them this past Monday (the 23rd of August.) and wanted to share the pics of them. All the bolts are Stainless Steel and come individually packaged per part. These are the parts included:

Oil Pan
Water Pump
T-Body & Elbow
Front Cover
UIM
LIM
Pulley and Alt.

Here are a few pics of how it comes:

SS? If you're going to pimp your ride you need some Titanium bling. http://www.dressupbolts.com/products.../mazda-rx-7-fd


Honestly though there are MUCH better areas to spend that kind of money. . .

Nice kit, I have it on my car. Used the oil pan bolts for relay brackets and other stuff under hood. They will sell you extras for doing fenders, bumper cover, etc. Holding on to the front cover bolts for the next rebuild.

You might be very surprised what high quality bolts cost...especially since they are most likely not purchasing millions of bolts at once.

This kit that is made for our cars is made of Titanium, but its only a 51 piece kit and they make it in a SS version for more than what I paid for the kit that I just received. Plus the kit I just received comes as pictured with the bolts seperated by part, so for a person doing their first reassembly, that helps.

^ You're 100% correct. I'm clearly not recommending the titanium bolts. Mainly mocking them for the extravagant costs.

Wow, stainless steel bolts are expensive in the US!

I've SS'd everything non load bearing on my car - bay, underside, fittings, interior bolts, everything - I've probably spent less than the equivalent of $84 on the whole lot!

FYI
A2-70 is 302 Stainless which is basically the metric equivalent of 18-8. Good corrosion resistance however not as good as 304 and 316 SST. Material strength is low (100K PSI tensil and 65K yield) compared to the carbon steel GR8 and 304/316SST materials. These fasteners are great for covers and mounts but caution should be used for higher stressed items like motor mounts, driveline bolts,, suspension pivots, etc). The lower grade stainless has a tendency to gall so always use anti-seize on the threads especially when threaded in stainless and aluminum.

I am not a fan of having all those lock & flat washers that can fall off the bolts when assembling. We have had more engines then I can count come in for rebuild because someone dropped a washer or nut down the intake. Then found out the hard way where it had gone. All that hardware just increases the odds.

The factory hardware has no washers and is all flanged for a reason.

Use caution for galling when using stainless hardware with aluminum.

I changed all of my visible bolts under the hood to 316ss flange button head screws. With the flange head you don't need any washers and the button head looks way better than regular allen head bolts.
