It looks better than the cast finish of the volute and matches the piping, but I'm not 100% if I'm going to keep it like this or not.


Then yesterday I decided to refurb my pulleys rather than buy new ones. So I got some new bearings for them and had the rest of the parts bead blasted to remove the rust and gunk. Here's hwo they turned out:

Oh and this evening, I chopped this off the car. No idea what it does, but meh Wink

Loving the black charger, very stealthy.
