Caddyslammed 16 Posted January 2, 2011 Report Share Posted January 2, 2011 Well still initial stages of my engine build, but i have completed the first stage of the inlet side, here are some pics of the manifold, i am pleased with it, it's what i was after, not the same as all the other painted/polished ones, still could almost be OE, and a bit less work Link to post Share on other sites

cabrioman 6 Posted January 3, 2011 Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 alot of hard work gone into that ... looks so smooth ... Link to post Share on other sites
Caddyslammed 16 Posted January 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2011 Thanks guys, yes i did it myself, used a sander for an evening going through the harsher grades of paper, then following evening, went through wet and dry grades using WD40, then polished with mothers, so not oo much work, a lot less than some who polish most of the whole thing!.I was going for a slightly different look, and something that wont stand out too much in the bay, will just look smart .

Caddyslammed 16 Posted January 11, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Looks Mint mate!! love it' date=' what paint did you use as im thinking of doing mine, special paints for high temp?[/quote']Thanks mate, it's a bit different, just black block paint dude, covers well, and not high temp, but will take the temps the inlet will get too, as i doubt it will get as hot as the block? It's available in all sorts of colours too including matt black which i was very tempted with, and matt white lol, but that would be dirty as soon as i started the car!
