Why is it so dam expensive. I don't get it. For that kind of money, I can get go fast goodies that will actually enhance my cars' performance.

 

They need the money for their ex-Formula 1 venture

Why are you ranting?

 

supposivly it helps with the cooling of the engine. Its the same cover they use in their F3 racecars. Cant back it up, but it blings REAL good. I gotta have one to top of my motor next year

 

JDM bling................=$

 

why is the sky blue? Why are ***** good? they just are......


some need the bling

 

They know people will buy it for that price.........

 

true. ...and, if you can afford it, why not? get what you like.

 

True. They know that just because it says, "MOOGEN" it's gotta be good, and it's from JDM land.. I agree with that money I would buy something that actually improves my cars' performance..

 

The reason I'm ranting is I got to see one on an ITR this past weekend and it looked uglier than it is in the pix.

 

they look BETTER everytime I see them.
they aren't really functional, but they do look nice, set you apart from everyone else, give you that formula3 taste under the hood, and i hear girlies go wild when they see them.

 

Could see a lot better things to do with the money then buy a valve cover. Paint your stock one red................like everyone elses. hahahha

 

 

really damn go figure, buti guess if their radiator caps help it reach a higher temperature the least the valve cover can do is cool your engine...

Just proves JDM Parts = Better

 

It's non functional and it's not off an F3 engine. F3 engines are based on a late 1980's Prelude engine, not B-series so the heads are totally different and the valve cover won't fit.

Just an expensive under hood dress up item.

 

"These aluminum engine head covers are manufactured individually using sand casts in the same way as those for Mugen Formula engines."

From King Motorsports website.

 

I think it's damn ugly.I love JDM but i wouldn't spend any money on that.

 

what I don't get is the stuuna parked across the road from us at NOPI... that had a Mugen valve cover... and cut the end of it off WITH A HACK SAW!!!!! for cam gear adjustments...

WTMF??!?!?!?

 

I could understand getting it for the JDM goodness if it was $200 or so, a bit more than a stock valve cover. But for $800 I mean damn, that's cams right there.

 

...that guy to understand.

its all about tradition...

mugen didnt just start making stuff for our civics and integras..

and most motors they built had to have the mugen grey valve cover..

it has not changed since the 70's, so it may be a passing fad for a few enthusiasts..


but for me.....mugen will always be cool

but yes..they are a little pricey...but worth every penny

....and I thought they were made from Carbon Fiber! What a rip off.

 

ep had to show up to make it right

blue- who was wonderin when you would show up

 

Probably was a Tenzo R valve cover.

 

They *almost* look real.

 

I was heavily intoxicated...
