Wow that looks awesome man.

Not to steel your post but when looking into doing that is it sometimes better to take the parts somewhere and have someone do it professionally? Or can you just use a dermal and take your time to do it? Only curious cause I’ve thought about doing that for a while.

But back to your pictures. Those look great

I had a so called professional do it.

Could probably do it yourself.

If you get the right tools for a dremel you can do that yourself. But it takes alot of pateince. So that is why i'm not very good at it. I tried it on my front valve cover and it worked out alright. But not as good as that one.

did they miss some spots?

MrMX3 · Post by **MrMX3** » January 5th, 2005, 4:49 pm

I was thinking the same thing. There's spots missed on the valve cover and the intake manifold. From what I can see they used a big electric sander. And it looks like they warped it a bit in one spot on the valve cover........ Any polishing work should all really be done by hand, and take's forever!

Man i thought i was the onlyone that saw all the spots that werent polished, and the places where it was overdone, so wouldnt say anything..

Hope youre going to like your SRD Front control arm bushings Nope, so far i Hate mine!

I followed all the instructions excactely, nevertheless at first they made clonkingsounds climbing curbs and driving on uneven roads, then i tryed tightening them some extra from the advice from the guy at SRD now they have a horrible squeaklike sound all the time "and yes they were lubed"

I am so regretting that i didnt get the mazdaspeeds at first, but maybe itll end with me tossing the SRD's in the bin and getting them anyway

So good luck with them
