pool party at mitches?

 

cover came up a treat dude :yes:

[mitch4397]

cheers guys and girls.

 

I used a sander (its not orbital....but...it just vibrates hell quick, 50 bucks from bunnings) with wet and dry, started with 600, and then a bita 1200. Then for the polishing, used Autosol. I attatched a polishing cloth to the sander.....and then yeah from there on just keep at it :yes: its a slow process but worth it in the end. All in all probably 3-4 hours.

 

Heres my calais rims that i did a while back. Was an absolute bitch of a job, id say it took 15+ hours. There is no shortcut.

 

 

 

Cheers

That looks tops, I will certainly give that a go. :hmm:

Did you use anything other than the wire brush and wet + dry sandpaper ?

 

Rad Rolla, I myself would steer clear of the wire brush as from what ive learnt in the past is, it scratches the metal fair severly, and then you have to sand the scratches out start with a lower grit working through to higher. I could be wrong. But more work in my opinion.

 

Oh theres a brush in my pic :yes: i tried it for a split second then decided not too.....ignore the brush.

Well the carbies were getting tuned for the past 4 days due to the guy tuning them being a one man band in his workshop. Wasn't overwhelmed with the service, but he seemed fair switched on. "Specialty Tuning" just off Marion road is where they got done.

 

Anyways the car runs fair nice, with room for improvement with some head work. She really gets up and roars in the higher revs, will post up a video of her driving.

 

Here's the Dyno sheet, not bad i thought since it doesn't have head work or cams done.

 

Video soon....

Sleeeeeppeeer! haha

 

not bad power for a near stock 4K at all, I'd be happy with that in a KE20.

 

So you driving it now?

 

Cheers, Ben.

[mitch4397]

cheers Ben, yeah shes up and running fine now. the jets in the carby are not 100% correct, but there as close as the tuner could match so she runs the teeniest bit rich. I would and will be happy with 50 - 60rwkw :hmm:
