A bellhousing brace would be a good idea if it wasn't done. I'd cry if I cracked the casing.

I'd have to get my billet end case done :| fook that. Cudo's to you though! :D
I couldn't agree with you more! The previous owner swapped to the 2gb Eclipse bumper, and I can't wait to be rid of it! I have a 2gb Talon bumper (I love that huge-ass Eagle emblem :biggrin:) and 2ga Talon "Turbo" skirts waiting to go on when I get some down-time to paint them. It'll look damn sexy when I'm done with it.Quote:

Wow! blackandblu that is going to be friggen cleaan
in for pics. 97-98 talons were so damn sexy; by far my fav of the DSM's. if you modify it to fit with the 2gb eclipse headlights (or mod the talon lights to look like the eclipse ones) it's pure win.Quote:

Wow, that trans is insane.

I have one question about a chromed transmission.
Is heat disbursement vital with the transmission? I know in car audio, chroming the amp's heat sink effected it's ability keep the circuit board cool. If the casing to the transmission was designed to do that in any way also that chrome plating will effect the casings ability to do that.
Either way looks DAMN sexy!
here are two methods of heat dissipation you need to think about, convection and radiation. As far as convection is concerned it will make little difference, except for issues of corrosion products of the standard cooler providing and insulating layer - but this will be negligible. The effect on radiant loss will be significant. I have checked with manufacturers of radiators used to heat houses and the reductions quoted area around 30% for chrome plating over a white painted finish so will be similar or possibly greater reduction over dull metallic finish.Quote:

Conclusion : Maybe it would be an issue at 24 hours of Le Mans, but I don't see that as an issue

i would venture a guess that polishing something & chroming it likely reduces the effective surface area; which would explain the drop in efficacy. if chroming your trans worries you about heat dissipation, get a cooler & call it a day.Quote:
