dam! how did you do that??????

kandyflip445 · 07-07-2004, 12:32 PM

Very nice. Did you get a polishing wheel from Sears or something? The compound too? I was thinking about picking some up but my engine is stock so.....

Levi@GTPRO · 07-07-2004, 12:34 PM

great job man

autech.cz · 07-07-2004, 12:36 PM

Simply...grind the aluminium with sandpaper. Start with rough and work out to mild, something like 800-1200 (I hope you also use these numbers to state roughness of the sandpaper).

Then start polishing it with textile polishing disc and polishing paste.

kandyflip445: No I didn´t. I live in Europe, so no Sears here.

MakotoS13 · 07-07-2004, 04:47 PM

very nice. its always good to see quality work on one of the tiny things that will eventually make up something really great

Black240sx · 07-07-2004, 05:00 PM

that's funny... but is it me or are those two diff pipe and BOV???

the one in the first pic has a slight bend to it but the polished one is straight!?!?!?!?!

autech.cz · 07-07-2004, 05:37 PM

Black240sx: It is not just you. The pipe is really different. On the first picture, there is the stock pipe made of steel with just welded adapter for BOV. On the second picture, there is a new custom aluminium pipe. The BOV is same on both pictures.

are you wetsanding, I tried this with an extra valve cover and looked nice. but when It came time to do the "NISSAN" area, thats when I gave up. used mothers polish shit and it was a mirror finish.

F3600 · 07-07-2004, 10:29 PM

TheTimanator · 07-07-2004, 10:39 PM

old_s13 · 07-07-2004, 10:45 PM

ahoy to the czech 240sx owner, i didnt think they had s13's out there.. my girlfriend is czech and never told me about s13's being popular in your area. maybe that is why she isnt my girlfriend anymore.. hehe (joking.. kinda)

autech.cz · 07-08-2004, 02:27 AM

mjjstang: no wet sanding. Just dry sanding up to mild sandpaper and then polishing.

TheTimanator: This BOV is produced by company I cooperate with.

old_s13: Cau, the true is, that S13 is not so popular here. No one knows what sort of car is it. I think in CZ there are something like 50 S13´s. There is even more Ferraris than S13´s.

autech.cz · 07-08-2004, 02:57 PM

Yeah most of czech girls are the way you wrote - crazy in a good meaning of this word.

)) But there is also one well known group here - Stupid Blondes. Nice look, nothing inside the head. Bad.

I am from East of CZ - I live in Olomouc.
