Results of weekend boredom....

[Welly]

Well.....

I may of been a bit bored this afternoon.

And I happened upon my old 240 volt drill that I thought I lost. Connected to said drill was my old wire wheel which I haven't seen for ages either...

So I thought I'd welcome it back by putting it to good use.

Drill pictured below.

What a beast...

So. The inlet mani on the S3 I bought was grubby and horrible looking, and I thought it looked a bit gash. So I spent 2 mins with the drill and cleaned it up.

Before:

After:

This made me most happy, however I felt that there was more to come from the wire wheel. So I cleaned up my own inmlet mani and spent a little longer on it. This brought it right up to a really high sheen which looked cool!

So then I broke it onto my spare rocker cover. Spent a hour or so on this (meant to photo before but it was grubby!) and it has come up absolutely lush, well pleased.

So, my advice is, if you are bored, get a wire wheel and clean things.....

Not a bad way to spend a day in the sun.

Don't worry mate, I took it in the good humour intended, believe me. :icon_thumright:

I like finding 'alternative' fixes for things.

The paperclip for the brake pad wear sensor plug is my personal favourite so far....

LOL, jealous!

It will probably be Friday now mate, my workload this week is astronomical, and my parents are stuck out in Majorca so that's not helped matters either!

Hope that's OK?

Just going though a rebuild right now and haven't put it back on, the cross over pipe was put on just to see what it would look like

 

[martin g]

looks great !

but please tell me you didnt scrub that wire brush all around with the dip stick out as shown??? id hate to think you risked blowin a load of wire pieces down that tube matey??

 

[Sandip]

Sandip, what are the blue things ontop of your no'2 and '4 coilpacks?

They're heat sinks, i put them on ages ago to take a bit off heat off the top of the coilpack, not sure they help that much but they do get very hot! Every little helps lol
