Pypes…

When I bought my 1j I picked a halfcut that had steel cold side piping because I read that side tends to rub and get holes in the aluminium. As a bonus I got an HKS intercooler and couplers. The intercooler mysteriously disappeared at a shop that won’t be named…but the piping needed refreshed badly. Originally I was going to buy just piping but prices for JUST the cold side were $600+. So I decided to refresh what I have which is structurally sound.

My space is limited so Im spraying small things like these outside. Not concourse by any stretch but it will do.

Its getting chilly so I’m heating parts before spraying.

Layer of prime down…

You wanna know the dumb part of this? I’m heat wrapping all my intercooler piping. So you won’t see any of this work. But I would not be able to sleep knowing that horrible finish was underneath…
