just looking for opinions.....car is a 93 hatch. carbon fiber fenders,hood, front bumper, spoon mirrors, cf wing, cf hatch, carbon kevlar seats, cf eyebrows, and a gunmetal color with arospeed rsgt 16" rims and nitto neogen tires. vision jdm corner lenses. have a ton of pics just dont know how to post them......anyways....what do you all think of changing the stock d16a JDM valve cover out for a red valve cover, a red mugen valve cover, gunmetal mugen cover, etc what do you all think.....i am kinda stuck in the middle and just wondering what people think for shows, looks, etc. thanks a ton all

p.s. HOW DO I POST PICTURES!!!! thanks

 

To post pictures you need to have them remotely hosted.... http://www.photobucket.com

Secondly, the red valve cover you're referring to is only a B Series valve cover, in other words it won't fit your D16. I also thought the only Mugen valve covers out there were either fake, or real Mugen ones. Both of which are a Tanish color, neither are red.

 

for sure man . If you like it, go for it.

 

no they make them surprisingly red and the gunmetalish tanish color ones too - sohc vtec - i have done my homework - so what ya think??


i like them but not sure

since it is an ACTUAL JDM motor i am thinking more towards yes i will put a different one on it


M

 

i would go for it.....as soon as i get the $$ im getting a CTR VC for my b16

 

not sure what to do but thanks all for your opinions -


m

 

the ones your refering to are fake. mugen doesnt make **** for d series motors.

 

i know but still kinda looks cool - thanks

Try again

 

uh owned, and, that have to be a rare commodity.

 

**** how rare is that d-series Mugen valve cover. I bet its worth some dollars. Nice find, never knew they existed.

 

They are, from what I understand its under 1000. King Motorsports use to to distribute them and used them for their race cars.

Well I paid 800+ for my Mugen vc from King as well, never ever ever saw anything like that for the d-series or was it that maybe I didn't care to look.

thats true i never noticed that, you can see where the hole should be, crazy.

 

word thats cool but i can think of a lot more things for $800 to $1000 dollars than a valve cover - thanks though it looks good

Mugen even had some D-series turbo kit for the CR-X or something like that made waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back in the day. Neat-o.

 

holy crap batman a mugen sohc valvecover ???

 

i think i would kill somebody for that sohc valve cover...

here is your oil because of the capless cover...

Too bad Mugen didn't make those for the y8 head. That would look awesome on a boosted D series

 

ahhh, mugen valvecover for D series! too bad its rare and still cost and *** load! oh well

 

$800 for a valve cover is rediculous. I wouldnt even buy it if the each individual spark plus wire hole was a vagina.

 

Technically Mugen does "not" make one as it's been discontinued for quite some time. There is no oil cap as it was designed for a series which prohibits tampering with a motor during the race. Also during endurance races they have had the plastic cap harden and crack. What I am curriuos about is wheather they removed the baffle plate in order to run a modified valvetrain ?

The red valve cover this guy is refering to can be found on ebay for about 80 bux.

personally for looks I just like either stripped silver (light steel wool is need to remove light discolorations still) or even better powdercoated all silver

oh man snap!!!!! mad tight comeback yo!

first off the red ones hes refering to are obviously fake. second that valve cover was probably not even offered to the public, i mean who wants a valve cover that doesnt even have a hole to put oil in??????? did you know they made d series valve covers?? probably not.
