Time for an update.... Parts are ready for wet sanding.... The intake has already been sanded to 220 wet; next 400 and 800 and then clear coat...... Finally 100, 1500 and 2000 wet, buff and polish and they're ready to go!!
After I finish this post, I'm picking up a new expansion tank and EGR/Oil separator assembly and associated hoses, heading over to my mechanic buddies garage and replacing those items. Expansion tank has small pin hole leaks (4 tiny pinholes spraying water) and have loi leaking from separator valve. Not bad, considering the car had 260,000km and those a re factory original parts being swapped out!! Going to be busy tonight I guess...... |

I've made some CF pieces myself and it is not easy to make them as clean as your parts. big kudos, keep up the good work!

Thanks! So having done some CF wrapping yourself, you know the work that goes into producing the parts...

Looks really untity, why didnt you just have it wrapped?
Or, have it re-created from carbon fibre in china, I can supply a good contact and it is not expensive. |

Plus, no need to saturate the market with Chinese mass produced parts; already enough guys selling those on eBay.... and lot of parts that got tossed along the way learning the craft and still constantly experimenting with new processes and materials.... |
