Boil Graphite parts
Hi, all I have been reading all over the net before installing Graphite parts on my CT5 I would need to boil all the parts to help it be more flexible while increasing its life.
Do you all think that is good advice or just a myth??
Let me know, thanks

RE: Boil Graphite parts
Humm never heard of boiling Graphite parts! i thought the whole point of Graphite is for it to be ultra rigid!
heard of boiling plastic parts to remove some of the stresses on the plastic from when it was molded, Hard to say if it works or not but cant hurt to do it

Yes Boiling graphite doesn't do a thing . But boiling Nylon /Plastic parts will make them a little more flexible graphite will lighten and stiffen your cassis. If you are looking to shave off some seconds of your lap times or if you want to stiffen up the chassis then go for it. You can get some parts in colors I don't know if you can get them for CEN stuff.
