Heat wrap is probably to keep the head away from the tranny to keep it together. Not sure a thermal coating would be any better. Maybe some nice polished head shields though, or a gigantic tranny blanket made out of DEI stuff. Badass never the less.
BS. Honda is quoted in many articles that this will be "well under 30k".

Engines are being built in Anna on the flex line, and frames/chassis in Indiana.
I really hope you're joking. That dsm tuning is not good for a car. Use a dyno and get fuel trims in order. Add timing until it makes no more power, if 1* more only yields 1hp in that rpm range, take the timing away, not worth it. That's why you use a dyno and not the street. Steady stating is your friend when it comes to drivability also.
If you go with an AEM or Haltech (Recommended), basically any good standalone, I've got a guy who is very knowledgeable in making big power with these cars.
Nope, went to Mad River Local Schools, Graduating from UD in May with a BS in ME, not that that has dick to do with anything. Still not sure what point you're trying to make? The 250 is slow as balls, and given the choice of an IS300 or a 250, I'd take the 300 every time. Seems like you're agreeing with me but are too dumb to interpret what I'm saying?
like i said, idk whats done to his but i can get more details. knowing the guy, it probably has bald eagle talons embedded in it or some dumb expensive shit like that. I'll ask him and report back
Funny you should say this. I was just talking to a buddy the other day (Big gun collector/dumbass with money) and he said he'd sell his for $1650. Pm me if you're interested and I can get you more details.
So the LFA is built for the masses? And the LS460? Toyota builds for the masses, Lexus sells to the few (relatively). What does that have to do with the new IS being like 12.0:1 compression and still slow as fuck?
I have access to a 5 axis partially enclosed CNC but if you're looking to trade some work for smalled stuff shoot me a PM and let me know what we're working with and we can make things happen.
I do 3D modelling, Inventor, Catia, Pro-E, Solidworks, Solid Edge. Have done some pretty complex stuff in the past (Cylinder heads, exhaust manifolds, intake manifolds, etc).
