pics of my thermalflex coolant hose
 

nice hose, a bit pricey but looks great :-) Install was easy, needed to trim the hoses down a bit, thats all.

Damian, Sweet dude...Is that hose already formed or did you bend it?

hey apneablue, already formed, just trimmed a bit on each end and it fit right in. If you feel like spending the money, then its a great upgrade. I will be on the track a lot this summer too, so it was more than just 'looks' for me.

where did you get those T-bolts clamps and how much?

never heard of this company...pretty much the same thing as a samco kit

Nice clamps....what brand?

Dood - you are on a drugs!:D

I smell a Trust Fund.;)

hehehe, i dont even know what a trust fund is?
I just work hard...and play hard :-)

clamp data below:

www.mcmastercar.com
partn number = 54205K19
Type 301 SS Constant- $3.48 EA
Torque Worm-Drive Clamp 1-1/16" To 2" Diameter Range

how much were the 2 hoses?

Tim

Yeah, what Tim said, how much is "a bit pricey"?

total was around $170 for both hoses and shipping.

Nice.

Thats alot of cake for yellow hose.

any other colors available?

Wow, $150 for just those 2 hoses? I thing the Samco ones are cheaper.

No they just make yellow. :withstupi

yes...i think red, blue, black, purple?

ask them http://www.thermalflex.com/

I was on the site and never saw where you could buy for the RX...I had to relocate my radiator because of the Greddy FMIC install and i'm pretty sure that shape hose wont work...dangit :(

here is the sales dood i talked to:
Joe Daoud (jdaoud@thermalflex.com)
just ask for the 3rd gen (fd) hose

good deal series7, nice that they are down the street.

Hey, thanks for the info. Those clamps are special order from turbohoses.com and they don't list the price or part number. You can't buy them direct from Breeze.

I bought those hoses last year in the group buy which turned out to be their retail price afterwards. I thought the Samco and other brands retailed for $250?

For anyone planning on buying those that have a Greddy SMIC: Retain the rubber sleeve and/or custom order a 4" length silicone coupler because the heat of the pipe rubbing the hose melts it. :eek:

Geesh, that's a lot of money for hoses, considering I just bought a new upper and lower hose from Mazdaformance for about $36 shipped.....of course they're not yellow...:)

and I've still got the stock POS clamps.....

hey, what happened to all my posts?

:D Nice hoses!
I bet they really dress up the engine bay. Very classy. Probably last longer than stock too.
Damian, where do you find all this stuff? I think you have too much time on your hands.
;)

heheheh, I find it all by searching on what other peeps have already done.... our cars are 10 years old already and someone somewhere has already done it :-)
