Andy - you were right, I have found my new favourite thing. Well, until my fingers decide they've had enough.
This was the Radtec's swirl pot just an hour ago
And after an hour with the Autosol
Not finished by a long way, but a pretty impressive product.
*Scuttles off to polish some more*

Me too. If I was the kind of person to take the easy option, then I'd have had Rob's '2 in a heartbeat! Seems I'm more of a gluten for punishment

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)
Another night of polishing. It's not longer my favourite thing
The eBay special polishing kit arrived today and I'm pleasantly surprised with how good it is I spent a good 1-2 hours going over the swirl pot again and it's come up pretty well. I think to get it perfect you're looking at a good few hours per piece and I just don't have that kid of time right now. Especially as there's a fair few bits which need doing before next week!
Intake came up well
The next target will won't go down easily

If you put enough time in you can get things to a mirror finish. I'm be doing that with the pipework for sure. Other bits I might have to come back to when there's more time.

Thanks Karl
Sorry to hear about your recent troubles. So long as you come back stronger, these fools don't win in the end.
Mine's off the road at the moment, at I don't want to do any unnecessary driving with the turbo being sick. Plus it's not doing the environment any good A week today and it should hopefully be done, ready for tuning.

Re: The journey of one man and his Mule(s)
They are the ones Xxxx Mirza supplies they look good imo as I was planning to get one on mine. Think its basically just a Abflung replica not a gt1 kit. Them arches will be useful for the tyre size your going to need when this 3076 is fitted
