its called fabrication hoochy


flashed over them with the wheel..

 

[h17och]

oh, right....

just seemed strange and didnt think it lookd great

its goes to Zircotec for ceramic coating this week think its done to help with the coating to take better

I have flashed over the top with the disc to get a smoother cleaner surface ready for zircotecs ceramic coating, which when its applied, will be a smoother look afterwards also.
zircotec will shotblast the surface as prep for the flame spray zirconium coating.
the downpipe is a combination of mig and Tig, so flatting down the mig'd bits just makes it look better in the end.. albeit not better at the moment in its raw state

Bill - I'd be worried about the length of that charge pipe and the engine movement working away at the hoses. IMHO. Meebe a hump hose on the turbo side of the intercooler, depending on sizes.

Mind you ANY engine movement in there would be an issue it's so tight Nice work.

Its got silicon each end.. and will get some race VT mounts in there given its power spec and snug fut nature..

worth considering tho.. point noted.
