Silicone or rubber hoses - Page 3 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Have to agree that I don't especially like the Samco script - looks a bit like the sort of thing you'd see on a hyondasubitshi with a 16 foot spoiler and fart-can exhaust. The hoses themselves seem good quality though.

DO NOT SELL HIM ALL THOSE SETS BECAUSE HE WILL TURN AROUND AND RESELL THEM AT A HUGE MARK UP LIKE HE DOES ON HIS OTHER PARTS!

the silicone stuff is ultra durable and I upgraded because I liked the look of the red hoses but it's harder to "seal up" the silicone and it tends to bleed out coolant smell, not leaking, just the vapors and smell

kinda drives me nuts, but I've learned to live with it.

I think there are much better uses for silicone

Id be in for a complete kit that covers all of the ruber parts we have thats something we need.

Im not real crazy about the samco stuf myself, I used them on my old car becuase no one had original hoses, they were not very easy to install and It pissed me off.

im all for standard black and that it works like its suppost to and I like many others do not want to pay a arm and a leg for parts its reduckulous.

Well,

In anticipation of sending off hoses to be duplicated, I pulled the old set: Upper/ lower coolant hoses, hose on thremostat, elbows, breather hoses, f-tube, f-tube top, even the rubber double tube that goes on the front side of the plenum(90s only).

I am missing the down tube for coolant.....so if anyone has one that is shot, torn, or whatever please let me know.

Is it fubar'd....these are going on a journey and may not come back, I am going to get pricing first....if its reasonable and quality of rubber is good will I proceed.
