    Hey Guys, As you have probably noticed already i have updated the channel name and logo. The channel is no longer Really Random Channel it is now RRC Restoration. Just incase you were wondering why the water marks in the video still say Really Random Channel. Enjoy.

    this guy clearly is a neat person. the way he put back his tools after he used it, the way he clean the dust on the table before proceed to another step, and that leftovers from masking tape. that alone makes me appreciate you more sir, great job as always!

    Nice result !
    If I can just allow myself a little advice, it would be to put a little grease on reassembly on the threads of each screw. This avoids these white deposits of alumina in the threads and also the risks of seizure and breakage during disassembly.

    I could just hear the conversation in the meetings now. Hi, my name is Avi, and this all started one cold December morning when UA-cam recommended a Hand Tool Rescue video to watch. From there I was hooked!!! Next thing you know I'm watching My Mechanics, TysyTube, The Good of The Land and Really Random Channel. Now I watch 4-5 times a day and I don't see any end in sight. We love you Avi!!!

    Really nice job. Be careful using steel wire brush on aluminium. It can impregnate the aluminium with microscopic steel particles which will start to react with the aluminium over time. This will start corrosion eating away the aluminium under the paint surface.

    That purple looks pretty much the same as the purple on my old ZX9r, I'm painting my callipers to match once the weather gets better, hopefully while getting the Tokiko lettering gold. I've been a subscriber for a while, but that is what drew me to this video when it was recommended. You seem to know how to do anything and everything, and have the means to do it, great stuff 👍

      That looks like a VW CIS Fuel Injection Intake Manifold not a diesel manifold.
      My watercooled Diesels had a giant maw that held the air filter element directly into to the manifold.
      Maybe the T25 vans used a different arrangement but this looks like someone did a retrofit turbo.
