ikarus Posted May 12, 2010 Share Posted May 12, 2010 porous castings are a pain to polish, the first one looks great though, pm sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andlid Posted May 15, 2010 Share Posted May 15, 2010 Well done, how long will it be until you up the prices for all that effort you're putting in! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted May 15, 2010 Author Share Posted May 15, 2010 I tell you what one thing i have learned from doing this is that it is a hell of a lot of work to get these polished. Iif anyone says that £100 is a bit expensive then they should have a go themselves lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nrenz123 Posted May 17, 2010 Author Share Posted May 17, 2010 Thanks for the positive comments guts i appreciate it after all the time gone into these. For the amount of time going into them im hardly making anything, im not going to put the prices up, not yet anyway hopefully i can find a quicker way of doing them As soon as i get the replacements back then i will be polishing them straight away.

ikarus Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I got my plenum over the weekend, thanks to Nath The plenum was delivered well packaged and in great condition and the polishing, which must have been a pain, is probably as good as you can get a casting like this - while not a mirror finish, is more than satisfactory. While i fitted it i also added a plenum spacer from a group buy a short while back (thank you chilli red ) Everything went on fine first time and the car runs great, i think i spent more time reading about fitting this than actually fitting it - anyway on to the pics.. before new stuff bit of work result So the engine bay looks much cleaner now and i'm very happy with the result Nath, my old plenum will be on its way back to you shortly. Many thanks from a happy customer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ikarus Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 I like that engine bay. Is that a summit strut bar that's been painted red? Its a Cusco strut bar, type OS iirc that i bought off CS. I had the end fabs painted red, they come in blue i think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted May 26, 2010 Author Share Posted May 26, 2010 I have received the first of the two exchange plenums today, i'll get onto polishing it ASAP. Is anyone interested in it? Nath. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted May 30, 2010 Author Share Posted May 30, 2010 Any interest in the next one of these? if not its going on my car lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasso Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Any interest in the next one of these? if not its going on my car lol Hi, just wondered if you are still polishing plenums etc - if so I'd be interested now that I have finished my power modifications and now working on cosmetics.

Cragus Posted July 27, 2010 Share Posted July 27, 2010 Any interest in the next one of these? if not its going on my car lol I am after one of these just now too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nrenz123 Posted July 27, 2010 Author Share Posted July 27, 2010 I have two plenums here, they arent polished though. one is reserved for someone here already but the other is available. Im going to stop doing these after these two as to be honest it is a right pain in the arse. I am selling the other one for £160 on a non exchange basis, if either of you are interested let me know, first come first served though im afraid. Nath.
