Andy - you were right, I have found my new favourite thing. Well, until my fingers decide they've had enough. :lol:

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* :D

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 #-o :wink:

Another night of polishing. It's not longer my favourite thing :lol:

The eBay special polishing kit arrived today and I'm pleasantly surprised with how good it is :thumleft: 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 :shock:

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. :pray:

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 :twisted:
