Ran over some rubble as I'm sure you all know... not happy about it. I'm writing my letters of complaint tomorrow - one to the Council, one to the contractors head office, and one to Bilstein.

It's all sorted and back together, nothing was actually broke luckily!

I bought a few things the last few days to make up for it... :roll:

And a HKS manifold... from Tahir, but it's a 2" collector, and I wanted a 2.25". I started cleaning it up and thought it looked a bit small... :(

Cheers guys. Took me around 4 hours to get it to that stage, and it still needs some work.

I used 120grit 3M 'purple' sand paper (works well with metal without scoring).
Then 240grit wet 'n dry, using it wet.
Next I got a Scotchbrite pad with some Autosol.

Tomorrow I will use 400grit wet, then Scotchbrite it again with Autosol. Brasso works well too, basically the same thing, and is cheaper.
