Well, those f'ers at AEBS keep saying 'It'll ship tomorrow.. it'll ship tomorrow' and it's pissing me off.

They've been saying that for 3 weeks now. 'Supposedly' it will ship today. I don't think I'll be selling a lot of their products for them if this is how they treat their dealers. h:

:no:

It'd look good for like 20 minutes and then I'd be all pissed cause it didn't stay shiny. h:

The block would be a super PITA anyway...

Geeeeeeeezus. AEBS did this?

If they kept bumping you back to turn out work like this, I think they're totally justified in taking their time. Polishing an intake manifold blows donkey balls. That's the second most difficult part on a car to polish, and even with the right tools, it takes a LOOOONG time.

I didn't polish mine because I plan on eventually replacing it with a sheetmetal intake manifold and a BBK throttle body. But here's where I become a post whore. I polished my EGR valve, PS pump, heat shields, turbo coolant lines, and just installed some stainless steel valve cover fasteners and a braided stainless turbo oil feed line. It definitely added to the bling factor.


I'm a fat stinky whore. I know. Get my own thread... But, polishing engine parts IS addicting. It's one of the longest running trends in hot rodding, and it looks good on ANY car. Your car is going to be amazacrazy with that thing bolted on there, and I doubt you'll ever see another one like it because of what a PITA they are to polish.
