Thanks for the comments. I was showing it to my mom tonight and thought maybe i should take a pic and share with all of you. Still need to do the throttle body.

 

[ma70man]

How much time have you put into that?

 

[a70]

i started it durning the summer. A lot of off and on work since then. Not sure on an actual figure.

 

[conundrum07]

Wow, that looks really good

 

[makenzie71]

wow...that looks great...but takes too long. That's why everytime I have my intake stuff apart I paint it all flat black.

 

[SupraGuy88T]

only problem is that you cannot just polish one thing you have to polish everything so have fun I knwo I am.

 

[makenzie71]

I once took an entire intake off one of my RX-7's and had the throttle body dismantled...had all the pieces labelled so I wouldn't forget how to put it back together...then I polished all the labels off...

very true!

Ive already done my valve covers and alternator

running out of stuff to polish

 

[Guest]

please tell me what do i need to do to make mine looks like that

i have not got a clue and i would love to do mine

 

[a70]

you need sandpaper grits: 200 220 320? 400 600 1500
buffer and buffing compound!

I got a buffing set from Home Depot for $12

fits any drill

sanding-may i reccomend Black & Decker mouse

the mouse is great for the painstaing removal of the pits in the cast aluminum

you need a good drill for the buffing kit. my old drill crapped out when using it... so i bought a new one for $60 heavy duty DeWalt at lowes

 

[a70]

oh yeah, when buffing: Black compound first, then use the brown stuff

and then some mothers aluminum polish

 

[SupraGuy88T]

you forgot TIME and lots of it.

 

[Supranforever]

I want to know how to do the alternator, err, how to get it apart? :-d

 

[TurboMedic]

Meh

Just go get everythign ceramic coated or chromed. The ceramic coat doesn't look as nice but it still looks awsome adn it surves an actual purpose too!

The intake looks awsome BTW!

Just my 0.02 cents!

Later
