3-Pedals

Hello all. New to the forum and to 7 ownership! Could use some new bits for my Birkin but have not had much luck finding a source. Does anyone know if Birkin USA is still in business and if Tom Carlin is still the person to talk with about parts? A fellow 7'er sent me his contact info but the phone number doesn't work and I get no response from the email address. Tried several times using the "contact us" form on the Birkin USA website but have never received a response. Having a bit of fun with the car and looking forward to getting it back out on the roads this spring. Very excited to be part of this community! Thank you!

A few thoughts: I have Jet-Hot coated several exhaust systems and been satisfied with the results. Jet-Hot can coat both the inside and the outside of the headers and exhaust which I typically do. On one car, I measured the surface temps of the headers about 6" from the cylinder heads before and after and noted a reduction of 75F in the surface temp. Also, I have not had any issues with wear and found the coating to be durable. My vintage 911 system is 18 years old and still looks great despite over 65 autox events and a few track days. Another system is just over 10 years old and even the exposed side pipes still look almost new. The silver Jet-Hot coating on my 26 year old 7 still looks great. In the engine compartment, it is also a good idea to wrap the headers with a good heat insulation (I use the titanium heat wrap from DEI) as that can lower the surface temps another 100F-120F.
