zero 1162 Report post Posted September 30, 2021 So good. Have you thought of buying or making a sand blasting cabinet, or a vapour blasting cabinet? Or do you find doing it by hand is therapeutic? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Or do you find doing it by hand is therapeutic? I'd love a vapor or sand blasting cabinet, it's been on my mind! Moving house next year so will hopefully end up with a larger garage setup to have tools like that. For now I don't mind the old chemicals and tooth bush clean up, it's a bit slower and may miss a couple of things but its 95% there. To be honest I kind of enjoy the slow clean up process. Certainly not a race haha, but I wouldn't do it again unless I had better clean up tools. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Isn't this how everyone works on their cars? haha It's enjoyable making a somewhat detailed post update on each little thing, reminds me of what I've done otherwise it does become a bit of a blur. I feel bad cluttering up the server with so many large images. Hope this is ok admins? 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KwS 2425 Report post Posted October 2, 2021 Could always offload the heavy lifting to something like Imgur, but at the end of the day after resizing, the images are very small so shouldn't be too much of an issue. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1162 Report post Posted October 11, 2021 Do you find those exhaust mods makes as good an improvement as buying a good branded aftermarket muffler? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

For the price of $2-3K for an Eisenmann exhaust box I'd rather do this because its considerably cheaper and more fun, it also preserves the stock look of the car, I want zero aftermarket parts on it. But of course it depends how it sounds, I am confident it will sound quite good, but if not back to the drawing board! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

zero 1162 Report post Posted October 12, 2021 I would be interested to see your performance differences with your modified muffler 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
