Too much time (polishing :) )

So I did little polish job on my valve cover and original B16A2 intake manifold and I sand and polish the inner part of pipes...

So here are some pics so you'll see what I did

P.S.: what do you think ??? :p

The IM looks beautiful. :)

Whoa... perty :)

that is totally outstanding!! oh man does that ever look sharp I wish mine looked like that!

that looks great! :D

That's damn impressive. Looks awsome.

shit that musta been alot of polishing, good job man.

How long is the turnaround time for my nice shoes?

hi emil. it's really nice to have you back and posting again :wave:

wow thats cool how do i do that to my valve cover i just have a stock d16 and the paint it comin off the valve cover so i wanna polish her up like that man? must have taken a hellava long time to do all that

awesome lookin. good detail

Prosedure:

-First of all you must remove the orig. paint from the valve cover, you can buy in your local paint store some kind of paint remover -liquid, but wear gloves and protect your self when you'll be puttin' that shit on your valve cover and be removing it off cause that shit burns like hell when it comes on skin !!!
-Then when the color is off, you need to buy at least five types of sand paper if you can buy the one that is water proof they last longer and when it's dirty you just clean it with watter and keep on sandingI myself use this type of sand papers...
Hope that numbers are the same as at your place:
180
250
600
800
1000
1200
Numbers are on the back of sand paper
-When you sand that so much that the surfice is nice and smothe then you just need to polish it you have several polish pastes for that I use two types of them and three diferent types of brushes for it...

That is the prosedure for perfect shiny look...

I hope you'll enjoy doing it :p

someone has a lot of time on their hands :)

So today I did my homework :p
I toke the throttle body and first I sand it inside and widen it for about 1mm maybe little more just the part that goes to the latch or is it hatch the thing that is opening and closing when you touch the gas pedal...
Then I polish it from the inside so I guess that air will flow a lot better on that smoth surface then on stock rough surfice
I know I didn't achieve much but it's something...
So when the intake manifold is so shiny and nice looking I had to do something with throttle body also so I sand it and polish it so it has the same shine as IM...

So here are some bad-shitty photos of it...
I just hate that shitty camera... :banghead:

I know what are you all thinking.... :screwy:

:p :p :p

christ man, do you really have that much free time on your hands! thats nuts... how many hours did it take for each piece?

NOP I don't have so much free time :p

But at first I wanned to have different style valve cover, all the folks in here has them painted in all kind of colors, on the previus engine valve cover was painted in red like ITR one, I think that I was prolly the first one that had that painted and then they all started to paint their valve covers, that is why I polished this valve cover so I'll have unique look at least in here(Slovenia)....
And the when the valve cover looked so nice and shiny I toke that shitty lookin IM and decide to make it look better and I did, then the TB was on his turn and now all I have to do is polish two more things the fuel rail and some little thing that goes on the back of IM...

When the engine will be all shiny I'll remove all stock hoses and try to replace it with silicone one from SAMCO red ones, so you'll see the resault will be awesome at least I hope so...

Time:
-2 weeks for valve cover
-2 weeks for IM
-2 days for TB

I was working after I came home from job and keep working for that long that keep me fun when it stops I went home and do other things, cause it gets pretty boaring sanding and polishing that stuff...
