VR40 0 Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 Hey everyone.I'm bored so I thought i'd turn your attention to the fact that ive been polishing my inlet manifold like a crazy mofo for the past week, and it's finally starting to look half decent!

jaysVR6 2 Posted February 1, 2007 Report Share Posted February 1, 2007 Long way to go yet buddy. But you're doing all the right things by the look of it. Have you invested in a set of 'Frost' polishing mops for the end result?Once done it should look something like this: Link to post Share on other sites

VR6Rich 3 Posted February 9, 2007 Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 Thats cheap for £70 Pete.Its just 7 bolts (I think) at the front and 4 when removing the throttle body. You will also need to remove a ground strap bracket by where the throttle cable goes. Also need to remove the air temp sensor and vacume pipe at the front. Gasket can be reused as its metal just as long as it doesnt get damaged you should just have to give it a wipe clean. Link to post Share on other sites
VR40 0 Posted February 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2007 cheers guys. i'll give it a go tomorrow. think i'll replace my rocker cover gasket while im at it as its leaking! Link to post Share on other sites
