| First off, I think many of you know how much I hate Stillen as evidenced by my website, [ www.stillensucks.com. ] Even with my website, Stillen stills send me their catalogs, which just gives me for content for my website. Here is the latest. I remember a post by Bernie (OOParts International) about how heavy his new Stillen lower radiator pipe is. The link to the post is below. Well, on page 35 of the catalog, the pipe is now made of stainless steel, so that fully explains the weight increase over the older aluminum pipes. But that is not the real news. What is hilarious is the description of the product. Here is the opening sentence - "This mandrel bent Stainless Steal Lower Radiator Pipe will ...... So you see that stealing is really sub consciously part of the Stealin mentality. [ http://www.twinturbo.net/net/viewmsg.aspx?forum=general&msg_id=1788840&words=stillen%3a%3alower%3a%3apipe ] One other tidbit. Go to page 49 and read the installation note for the Stillen master cylinder brace, which states - " Installation requires drilling a 1 1/2 hole in separator panel, to existing lower tower bar platform". Who is going to want to drill a 1.5" hole in their precious Z, when one can buy the very simple and effective bolt on MC brace from 300 Degree. That is all for now. There are a couple of more funny items in this catalog. Glenn
