Thermal Flex Inc ( www.thermalflex.com ) is debating making a radiator hose kit for our cars. Thanks to the help of Maxcooper for supplying as set of used stock ones Thermal Flex thinks that they can make a kit for around $175.00 roughly for the uppper and lower hoses.

If this goes through I will set up a group buy through the forum but I need to know if people actually want something like this. I'm kinda doing the leg work for them since i'm the one pushing for it. These will be better than the SAMCO hoses that are offered for many applications except FDs. This eliminates all the problems associated with the stock rubber hoses.

I attached a sample of what the silicone hoses will be like. Currently I use a set of hoses that TF custom made for my car.

1. This kit will be exactly like stock but out of 4-ply reinforced formed silicone which withstands up to 550F.

2. TF hoses do not become brittle with heat or expand under pressure like rubber.

3. Even if you have a FMIC remember all the IC kits require you to modify the stock hoses, you can modify these the same way.

Attached is a pic of what the hose material is like.

If any questions please ask.

Max- You got a set commin to you free thanks for helping in this project TF says it's the least they can do.

 

nice if they go through ill prob get a set

 

i am interested

 

Please any questions or comments would be appreciated. I have to give them feedback by Monday at the latest. If it is good feedback i'll talk to Jason about a GB on the site.

 

Id like a set in RED, if color options are offered.
Otherwise I'll take whatever color they come in.
IM ready to buy, say when!

 

interested !!

question, wat is that thing under the hose? a magazine?

 

AHAHA Friggin Alpine good eye. It's a copy of YV (Young Version) Japan. I was lookin at it right before i took the pic it was an Rx-7 issue.

 

Looks like an Option2 Magazine from Japan...seriously!!!

kind of pricey, but we'll see...I'm interested...

 

Not too hot on the whole color thing... BUT, I'll go for anything that's an improvement to stock!! I'm in.

 

eventhough i just got a new set of stock hoses id definately be in on these

 

Count me in as very interested. I was originally going to try and find braided SS radiator hoses but could only find fake covers, at least these are real and functional not just for show.

 

What colors do you guys want...or do you just want them in gloss black? That would be the easiest.

 

Red would be nice to match my silicone vacuum hoses.

 

I think colors would be cool but make them in black too. I like the toned down look.

 

vote for red here..
why not have like 3 colors avable...red, blue and black..
just to keep everone happy

 

i would want red. i also just purchased new OEM mazda hoses

 

is black cheaper? then i'll vote for black

 

I would like yellow. But would take black or blue. Not red. Just won't look good on a yellow car will my other yellow hoses.

 

I plan on upgrading to a Koyo or Fluidyne unit in the future. Would these hoses still work and if not do they have some that will? If so, count me in. I'm voting for either blue or black.

 

I'd be interested if they are offered in black or red.

 

I'm in for yellow as well. That's 2 for yellow... Ok I guess I could live with black. They'll fit on the Koyo's and Fluidynes too correct?

 

I'm down...Black or Red.

 

red or blue (like the one in your pic)

 

Red or black for me =)

 

another red or black! sounds good...of course the cheaper the better!
