Every Household Should Have An F4R. *progress pics*

[Christopher]

Here are some 'work in progress' pictures on my inlet manifold. I'm sanding it down and polishing it using various grades of wet & dry, autosol, silvo and super resin polish.

I didn't want to do it on the car as it makes a lot of mess.

Whilst the inlet is off i took the chance to degrease the block and clean down all my Samco hoses. I'll post some pictures of the finished article tomorrow.

An hour in...

After about 4 hours and some chicken...

Called it a night at this (10pm) Polished up my carbon cover too.

[Dave S2K]

Or there's always the cheaters option from Hill Power...

Looking good Chris!

i tried to use a small dremel bit but couldnt get one small enough and it would have sanded off parts of the letters so ive left it for the moment and polished around it best i can, you cant really notice it that much unless your up close to it.

only thing to do is to get it done professionally or sand the letters down so its smooth
but if you find another way to do it PM me!!! lol

Alternative inlet manifolds apparently, not painted, not chromed, they wouldn't say how they did it (they're not plastic either lol).

Just been informed that my dad can do this at work, although he recommends sanding to a mirror finish first, it's called electroplating apparently and is fairly corrosion resistant :/
