letmeshowyou Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 The last turbo could have done that though right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 The last turbo could have done that though right? Yeah would have got me there. This kit has come up and Im no way missing the opportunity! One life one chance bla bla. Not everything has to happen straight away. Not many members can say they owned nearly every set up!

letmeshowyou Posted November 17, 2012 Share Posted November 17, 2012 This is very true, I just think you should do the box first and map it to it's full potential straight away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Mitchell Posted November 17, 2012 Author Share Posted November 17, 2012 This is very true, I just think you should do the box first and map it to it's full potential straight away not sure about you but £3500 on a box plus £1000 for tc then head work then fueling is a awful amount Of money, things can stay as they are and the power is with me doing bits as and when. One member runs 650 On stock box no problemo. But if your offering to give me the funds then ill go big next week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This will definately be my last setup and little project i do with the car! Big twins are my dream setup and because of the way pricing is going at the moment im very very lucky to have got the HKS 2835 twin kit, its a super rare and awesome bit of kit. Thanks mate! i always work hard on my projects/builds, the end result and peoples comments make it worthwhile. I work through all my lunch breaks and stay lates at work otherwise it wouldnt get done.

SupraD06 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Jesus chris Rob thats come up fantastic. Are you using your new compound on these?

Still learning little tricks ect when it comes to polishing but its getting there . I just cant stand fitting anything to my car unless its half decent or it is brand new! bit sad i know but the car is my hobby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted November 19, 2012 Share Posted November 19, 2012 Just had a look on their website and looks like there is a good range of compounds etc. Just one question though, do you use a different mop for every compound? i.e if you use a stage 1,2,3 and then final finish compound are you using 4 different mops? I know just what you mean Rob, since going through your thread ive become more obsessed with getting everything to the highest finish possible. Damn you lol.
