Taz_Rx Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Got a bit more work done over the xmas break while I am still waiting on parts...... Got an ignitor and wired that in, so appart from the air temp sender (2 wires) the ECU is now completely wired. This setup is only an interum thing until I get a CAS, 4 coils and ignitors etc. Then it will be re-tuned with sequential injection. Next, this was the "have to finish at xmas" part!!! :P As illuded to in an earlier post, when polishing the runners, I got a little carried away with the dremel and started polishing the upper half of the mani and plenum!! Ofcourse this meant I had to finish it!!! :P :) Was majorly pitted (see b4 pic) and took a lot of work just to take that out. All I can say is amen to sanding flapper wheels, would have given up if it wasn't for them. :) b4....... after..... will get a better pic of it later on the camera.

HEKTIC Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 thats awesome simon, i normally hate polished stuff and am usually of the opinion that if its in your engine bay and its not braided it should be matte black, but that looks insane!

Trev Posted January 8, 2008 Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 (edited) My intake is half polished but i didnt make it smooth, I'm starting to think i should as that looks phat. Edited January 8, 2008 by Trev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted January 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 8, 2008 Yeah trev, as soon as you start doing it you may regret it as it can be a lot of work...but on the other hand, if you do finish it off I know you'll be 1000% happier!!! :) The real trick to polishing metal is all in the 'prep' type work, like doing a nice re-sprsay. Yeah sure you can polish pitted alloy and make it shiny, but its just like polishing a bonnet etc that has shocking orange peel paint!!! :drgrim: :blazin: Get the surface nice and smooth, I'm talking use file if need be (thats how far I had to go with my IDA one!! :P ) then 80, 150, 400 dry then wet, wet 800 then 1200, depends how far you wanna go!! How does the old expression go......Can't polish a turd!!!!! :P I go take some more pics now with the camera. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
