WHY IS THE MAZDA RX7 IN HIGH DEMAND?

MAZDA RX 7

Why is the RX7 in high demand?

Apparently it is the rotary engine that has made this car unique.
The rotary engine got its start in the early 1950’s with a German company whose primary focus was manufacturing motorcycles.
Best of all, the RX7's huge success meant that many people discovered the rotary engine for the first time.
At Chrometech one of the most plastic parts that we chrome-plate are from RX7.
From a customer in Malaysia we received Instrument surrounds, Centre console, radio surrounds, air-con panels, door panels, lip pockets, dashboard blowers etc. Come July the RX7 "Jealous" will be the first Malaysian car to compete against 500 foreign cars at the Meguiar's Motor Ex Show in Sydney, Australia.He couldn’t find anyone in Malaysia to produce our quality of Chrome-plating. (We do not vacuum-metallize) We electroplate (copper, nickel, chrome) on plastic and fibreglass. The process of electroplating on plastic and fibreglass is more difficult than performing the same operation on metal.
The result is a smooth mirror finish.

The mentioned customer will fly his RX7 to Sydney to the Motor exhibition on the 11th and 12th of July 2009 at the Sydney Olympic Park in Homebush.
Please come along and you will be able to see the unveiling of the 6 best cars. This RX7 will be one of them. The unveiling will be at 11.00 am on the 11th and for the presentation they will include a traditional “warrior” dance.
So please come along and visit us and the famous customer from Malaysia.

Chrome-plated fiberglass for Hot rod

At Chrometech we are getting ready for a Hot rod show and the Auto salon. We have chrome-plated several fibreglass grills, plastic grills, Honda grills, Commodore badges, Chevrolet badges, gold-plated badges for RX3 (FOR SALE)

I wonder why they call a Hot rod a Hot rod. I looked up on Wikipedia and found the following information.

“Hot rods are typically American cars with large engines modified for linear speed. Nobody knows for sure the origin of the term "hot rod." One explanation is that the term is a contraction of "hot roadster," meaning a roadster that was modified for speed. Another explanation is that the mufflers were exposed and thus there was a "hot rod" or hot muffler neck when the vehicle was running. Open roadsters were the cars of choice to modify because they were light. Hot Rod may also refer to the connecting rods, cam, or pushrods inside the engine or to the exposed frame rails of such an automobile. It has also been noted that burning out the connecting rod bearings was a very common failure mode for souped up four-cylinder Fords, particularly the Model T, and "hot rod" could refer to that phenomenon. It was adopted in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been "hopped up" by modifying the engine in various ways to achieve higher performance.The term can also apply to other items that are "souped up" for a particular purpose, such as "hot-rodded amplifier".”

Anyway I thought that that was interesting. Besides Chrome-plating plastic car parts, we are busy Chromeplating MTV awards.

Once upon a time pre-Victorian Europe apparetnly mostly the aristocratic men wore lace nad the women were plainer.

But today's men and women alike wear lacy and sheer underwear. It may be in the form of G-Strings, Thongs, Tangas or whatever they call them.

Chrometech can Chrome-plate on any material such as plastic, fiberglass, cotton, silk etc. Lacy undies are made of cotton and Lycra to hug and stretch in all the right places.

Many of us are blessed with healthy backsides worthy of an award.

That's exactly what we did; an award for an underwear company. I don't know what the occasion was to create this award, but it sure attracted some comments when it was in our showroom.

Our Logo is "You name it we Chrome it"

This could be a breakthrough for the fashion industry to electroplate chrome onto fabric
