Heat Coatings
Lohen’s pedigree in racing has proven to us many parts on MINIs would benefit from ceramic heat coating to manage heat. We’ve coated a number of components on our racing MINIs and seen significantly lower temperatures both in the cabin and engine bay. Add to this the improvement of flow and performance that comes from ceramic coating and it’s a no-brainer; faster flowing gases correlate directly with better component performance and quicker lap times, reduced…
