Thanks for the replies. It's to polish intake manifold and intercooler water tank. The intake of course has some tight spots.

what is the best tool to use to polish aluminum parts with mothers mag/aluminum polish? how do those mothers powerballs/powercones hold up? they seem like they would start shredding after a few uses. which one seems to hold up the best? thanks guys.

thanks man, good luck on your project as well.

yeah high altitude kills na motors! transmission is together and all polished up, picking up a new block on thursday. i might have it running before march, haha.

your crx should run pretty good! any 1/4 mile times yet? thank you, yes it is quite a bit of work. not just the prep, but the wetsanding and polishing is what beat us up, haha.

thank you. block is a integra gsr 2.0L and the head is a civic si 1.6L dual cam

thank you for the comment!

kinda starting to look like a car again. got the brake lines done, ran them through the frame just to do something different. made a battery tie down bracket out of a chunk of aluminum. thought id share some progress pictures.

its very similar in size to a 42r, its the bullseye/borg warner s372 with the race cover compressor. rwd and fwd are two totally different ball games. 150 on a fwd is right on par with a mid to high 9 sec pass, where as 150 for a rwd is definately a mid to low 8. but like you said, these...

thank you for the compliments! haha yeah only 30 psi. we are running a 72mm turbo so 30 psi isnt really....efficient for this turbo i guess you can say, it needs more air to push through the motor. the 24.5 slick is our hold up, hoping to get to mid 9's with roughly the same boost once we get...

thank you! we run 24.5x9x13 mt slicks with some drag race specific suspension, along with traction bars. i actually rolled the front fenders a couple weeks ago hoping to drop the front of the car a bit more than before to keep the weight up front. plan to add some preload to the front...

after wetsanding with 2000, wool pad on the rotary with sip, and pc with white 5.5 pad with nano, this is what we finished with. i was afraid wetsanding would just move the dirt back and forth so i was a little paranoid at first but all-in-all im happy with the outcome. now once the swirls...

thank you for the comments. haha, yes, 1.68 60 ft. and we had smoke coming off the slicks in 3rd gear. was not a pretty site at all. still working on getting the finished pictures uploaded. i actually finally got the nerve to use a rotary...figured why not, its just the engine bay.....and i...

hey guys. some of you may remember me...haven't been on in a while. so after a long up and down race season, we decided she needed a new coat of paint under the hood over the winter, and since we decided to get rid of the brake booster and rear brakes it was perfect timing to strip the entire...

im addicted to this stuff. i use it on the interior, all rubber/vinyl trim, tires, and even on the undercarriage spray on the race car. i am actually thinking about putting it in a spray bottle, ive just been dumping it on a mf towel and rubbing it on. any thoughts on using it as a spray?
