[DML] just stuff

["nitrousgarageworks" <nitrousgarageworks@xxxxxxxxx>]

  Greetings DMC Dudes. Just throwing in my 2 cents, to keep the 
conversations, and arguements going here (heh-heh):
  I'm kinda skeptical about the new K & N airfilter assembly, 
the "top hat" as I call it. I'm concerned that water may splash into 
the engine compartment, and onto the top of the filter, and since the 
top of the filter is a filter in itself, get sucked into the engine. 
I'd opt for the standard K & N airfilter, and keep some kind of 
protection over the top of it. Plus I found you don't have to oil the 
filter, I use mine dry, and just rinse it in gas, and blow it out 
regularly. I also lube the rubber seals on it, top and bottom with a 
thin coating of synthetic grease to ensure a solid seal. Synthetic 
though, not petoleum based, as it will eat at the seals.
  Another idea I found was using Amsoil products; They're rather 
pricey, but of supreme quality, aircraft grade, that allows for 
extended drain intervals, superior protection, and so on. I opted for 
the 5W30 grade, as I found an article in a hotrod magazine, about 
that grade yielding the best increase in horse power. Not alot, but 
HP is HP baby!
  I did a little research on the Brickin car too; What a piece of 
crap! A kit car, with a look that tries to copy the DMC cheaply. Plus 
it's AMC powered, and that says enough bad right there. Not even a 
contender for further investigation on my part to be sure.
  I also found another nifty product that works: RedLine Racing 
Products makes a product called Water-Wetter, which reduces the drag 
coefficient on radiator coolant, and allows it to flow faster, pick 
up and disperse heat faster. It's about 10 a bottle, and the 
immediate effect I can witness to is: It drops the car's radiator 
temp. by about 20 degrees. And we all know that heat is a car's worst 
enemy, and cause of most wear. 
  Well time for me to shut up, and sit back. That's all I have to 
add, hope you fins some of it helpful.
                                       S
