Thanks everyone for the comments. As for the radiator plate I am still kind of on the fence with it.

Those clamps are called T-bolt clamps! These are actually my second set of T bolt clamps, its hard to come by a nice set and I finally found a good clamp that are not chinsy! A weekend of determined work. I get them from this local stainless shop in Miami! If anyone needs some let me know, I am always by the place! They are alittle over 10 bucks a pop for 90mm. To be exact they are 10.35!! I am waiting on a couple more!

nice engine bay jdm ap1 11. do the aluminum intake pipe weight more than the black rubber stock piece? I am in the process of doing some minor things to my engine bay too. I will post my asm aluminum cooling panel on craig list along with my aluminum jdm shift knob. I am getting j's racing pre-cut carbon fiber cooling panel to complement my j's racing carbon snorkel and j's etd combo.

You can always do what I did for my intake. I dont like red on yellow so I am going with the blue theme. I cut my Cusco plate to fit my intake and I have a custom powder coated Cusco Blue valve cover about to go on. Here are some shitty cell phone pics

Are they the style that like folds over or is it just a bolt style?

I am pretty sure the ones I can get are cheaper. They are very good quality though. I know some of the same clamps can hold up to like 600 psi or so.

Let me see if I can find a link real fast.

AP1_S2k Looking good!!!

JDM s2k19 thanks alot, are you going tomorrow?

DR. FEINSTONE it is actually a TI intake arm from Gotuning.com

Danny what can I say... More and more parts!

s2kAtTracks actually the first ones I got were from burnsstainless.com and they were not cheap. I found some at a couple of local shops until I ran into the ones I have now, which are amasing in quality over all the other ones I have seen and they are heavy duty. I was amased on the differences you can find with just T-bolt clamps, hence why they are so much. I wanted to go with V-bands but couldn't justify the cost at the moment!

I work at Fastenal which is great for me! At some point I will change out some of the bolts under the hood to Stainless just to have a nicer look, but that will happen at another time.

But, Here is one that is right at 90mm(which is basically 3 1/2 inches). 25.7mm = 1 inch

90mm / 3 1/2" S/S Clamp That price is wholesale, Almost all cases we can do better then that price. Send me a PM if interested.

I am going to order one in for myself to double check the quality. But, From what I remember its a great clamp.

Here are alot of clamps
