rusty tailpipe

by kaykay, 16-03-2022, 02:44 PM

Mine stainless steel exhaust tail pipe is badly covered in
rust. What is the best way of bringing it back to its former glory?

I have already tried metal polish but it has not touched it...
Is anyone tryed Autosol Aluminium Polish? I read on one of cars forums that its make it nice and shine but price of £4 on ebay dont realy make me belive so any ideas?

Any advice would be great...

Thanks

IMPORTANT: Placing a Japfest Pre-Order

When placing your Japfest pre-order make sure you enter voucher code JAPFEST2014 and select "Collection at Japfest, Castle Combe on Saturday 10th May" when at the checkout. By doing so it will ensure that your Japfest pre-order gets taken with us for collection on the day.

If any items on your order are out of stock and don’t come back into stock before Japfest, we will refund the items and notify you in advance. As always, we will be taking some popular stock with us on the day to sell, but not a lot, so it's definitely worth pre-ordering to make sure you get the items you need.

IMPORTANT: Collecting your Japfest Pre-Order

You will be able to collect your pre-order from our stand at the show ground, as shown on the diagram of the show ground below. We will also have Opie Oils banners up around our allocated area, so it should be fairly clear to see where we are whilst walking around.



We're looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible at what promises to be a great day!

For those who are not attending Japfest, you can view all our current website offers here > > > > >

As always, our expert advice is free. If you need help you can call us on 01209 202944 Mon - Fri 8.30am - 5.30pm, email us at [email protected], or just ask here.

Cheers,

Oilman & the team at Opie Oils

My ICE

by Morango, 10-03-2022, 06:35 PM

I thought I would put some pictures of my ice project

I have already put a Touchscreen powered by a broken laptop in where the old sat nav used to be, and now working on a boot build, using 2x12's but i am trying to maximize the boot usage space making the subs easy to remove and in the sides so there out of the way.

Only draw back is that the boxes are a little on the small size so wont be as loud as they could be.







Decided to try one of these new "shallow" head units, its uses memory sticks etc instead of a cd rom Makes installing it alot easier






My brother is designing some custom software to run as a satnav along with a media player along with browser etc all operated by touch screen or a wirless keyboard in the glove box.

I have to make some sort of surround up for the screen also to tidy it up, i am a little stuck with this at the moment, trying to look for somethign to cut up or fibreglass in maybe...



I wanted to make a sub box that would leave most of the boot available and also be easily removed.









Will be covered in some black material, and im getting all new boot lining as my one has been through the wars.



Handy tip... My genesis 4 channel broke, 3 of the resisters had died, managed to source new ones and replace the lot for about 50p, easy to do
