jwrape Posted October 31, 2007 Report Share Posted October 31, 2007 I talked to a company that makes clear radiator hoses they said they could make one for our cars if theres a big enough interest. let me know then i can let them know if its worth doing or not. thanks Uhhhhh! it sounds cool, but dangerous as far as breakage. Kinda reminds me of the ol' V8 Clear distributor caps that sparked in the dark. I would be interested but would have to have some good test results. :?: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jisleyjr Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 I am interested. I don't want it to glow though, more like a quick way to see if the coolant is low at a glance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxg Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 yah the light is just something people put on it doesnt come with lights. I thought it was pretty sweet something different. prolly not going to gain lots of HP though lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwrape Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Better make sure that coolant it clean cause everyones gonna see you fluids. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 Better make sure that coolant it clean cause everyones gonna see you fluids. Yeah, they get to see all the rusty water flowing through your engine!! Depending on price, this sounds intriguing. Sucks for us with custom radiators though... Watch this vid... the guys make killer glass... but need some killer video editing skills... or at least killer camera zooming skills. "Where's the zoom? Where's the zoom?" LMAO... I laughed sooooo hard at the ending, just didn't expect it.http://killerglass.com/content/view/15/25/ -Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jwrape Posted November 1, 2007 Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 See $150 is a little on the high side, for that I woudl just buy the race pipe for $49. $49 is a decent price but i think $150 is a novelty price. Your paying a high price for the novelty of it. Ya know? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxg Posted November 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2007 yah thats crazy price I wouldnt pay that you buy clear rubber radiator hose right off ebay for like $12. hopefully with a GP we can get it reasonable or ill just go chrome lol.

artinist Posted March 17, 2009 Report Share Posted March 17, 2009 i used a clear hose once just to experiment. the actual water in the hose looks like toilet soup. its not a fish tank. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianpaul98 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 (edited) Man the was a damn tough piece of glass. I looked at the site quick and it says $199 for the upper hose, where did you see $150? Quote from their website: All upper radiator hoses $199 + $30 for custom etching Choice of Red, Blue or Green LED to match your themes Yes we do custom order & special projects Anyway, I can't say I ever heard of a glass tube you can park your F250 on. I guess depending on what color coolant your running it would be ok as long as it isn't that greenish brown stuff. Novelty yes, practical... not really. It would be cool to bet people that you can pound a nail with it tho, just a lot of bets to get your $200 back. and by the way, I still have my clear distributor cap from the 80's thank you :hmm3grin2orange: i used a clear hose once just to experiment. the actual water in the hose looks like toilet soup. its not a fish tank.

brianpaul98 Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Ok, I just watched the water cooled Harley video and it was semi nifty http://www.killerglass.com/store/index.php...products_id=184 and had an idea. Whats cooler than a lava lamp? Wouldn't it be cool if you had some type of colored globs of something that you would be able to see going through the glass tube. Of course you can't use the waxy globs from your lava lamp or you would plug up the cooling system as soon as the engine cooled off but maybe some type of colored oil or something. You'd also have to run a piss thin antifreeze mix to really see them. Just an idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
