So here is my latest project for a customer. I am not finished yet but I will be updating this thread as I go.

Tools Used:
Grinder
Cut Off Wheels
Flap Discs
Air Tools
Drill / Bits
Vice
Sockets


Ok so lets begin. Here is what I am starting with. It is an RBC Intake Manifold off of the Honda Civic SI. I am going to be doing a full shave on the outside and inside.



First thing I did was take off all the nuts and bolts and double sided studs


From there I cut off the brackets for the manifold cover



Then using my air grinder grinded down the rest



I've put the outside on hold but I will be cutting out the webbing and some other misc pieces later on.



So now to the fun part!

Lets cut this manifold open. To do so here is what I used



And I marked off my cut lines and then began to cut


and Bam it's done!



So to start my journey I began with the outside cover. There is so much casting fail... so rough. So I put it in the vice



and began with 60 grit flap discs





and here is a rough finished in 80 cover
