Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

    Should be able to handle the heat if its meant to be used as that. Where will you be getting it from??

        If the tube isn't made for it, don't do it. It's not just the heat you have to worry about, but also the compatibility with the coolant. If the coolant corrodes the hose, you'll soon develop a major leak. Not to mention the contaminants in the coolant as a result of that corrosion.

            I don't know if I would trust 150 F. If it gets hotter and gets soft the pressure the coolant is under would cause it to expand and possibly blow. It would also probably be a pain to work with on a cb7 because the hoses have so many bends in them. IMO paint your hoses neon green, same effect.
