Looks superb Sam. Great effort.

Your bay looks good enough as it is without a polished mani going in! Love it.

Haha
It's earned it's due's now on the forum I like to think. Mine needs a bit of adjustment, the cooler is slightly loose this time not the hoses, but again, it hasn't been touched since last year so it's done alright with all the change in power on the car.
Bet your looking forward to the 3" TIP bud

 

[sambryant]

yes i cant wait. still have a slight fueling issue that i need to sort out. when the tip is fitted i might go up to badger 5 get the map tweeked and have bill look into this fuel issue.

worth taking it to bill mate. get the issue hopefully resolve and the map nicely tweaked. your car will be an animal then I bet!! it's already making great power.

You shoud notice a nice difference with the TIP and map tweak though map, especially with your slight issue ironed out.

Hope it works out well for you soon matey. Your car is a cracker

to start the sanding process i used my little baby


this is great to use. just open the front and place the mani on the spinning belt doing 10000rpm
i did this with 240 grit, then made my way though the wet and dry grades by hand. 400,600,800,1000,1200. job done. it was really easy to do. took me 5 mins at most to get the mani completely flat with the big sander.

Nice work, you need to hire your little baby out

Or If I book you to do my wooden floor do I get a free polished charge pipe/manifold.

Still love the wheels, car looks quality

haha yes no worries

 

[sambryant]

that pic of the machine was taken in cleavdon church. heres some before and after pics of that job




afters




and the best thing about my job its, its 99% dust free

 

[sambryant]

What polish are you useing ?

watered down super resin polish, tbh its not the best stuff as it takes ages to buff to a shine, not quite abrasive enough i think. wire wool and metal polish would probably be easier giving pretty much the same finish.

That's a talent right there mate!
