thats pretty sweet, prolly cost an arm and a leg considering the amount of material and machining needed.

its a well known fact that we (sport compact racers) probably spend money on thing that are un neccesarry, but what ever.

the billet valve cover is bad ***.

i would have never even known about it, if it were not for the recent post by AVID RACING.
i checked out the blog on Dynamic Performance, and proceeded to scroll through the rest of the blogs, because they catch my attention.....

...... then i see the T1 Racedevelopment Integra, which really catch's my attention, while i didnt really care for the script, i was fixiated on the pictures. and have never seen something like this. i must say i dig that **** ! i saw the valve cover on the T1 car and wanted to know more about it.

Yup PlanB Motorsports. MikeG's "Tank" EG has been promoting that valve cover for awhile. Its one serious valve cover.

You ever bought raw chunks of aluminum? lol

I'm shocked it's that cheap considering that, and the machining time.

Yeah, I think it's dirt cheap considering manufacturing cost. Not a get rich product that's for sure.

Nothing special on the inside, no baffles or anything.

It's actually about 3lbs lighter than the stock one. I didn't believe it until I got it, it really is. lol

The reality is the advantage is a very small weight savings and a badass looking valve cover.

Oh, and it made 38 more hp, because it looks cool.

Oh I know that raw aluminum is up there, and for what is into it, the price really is not bad. I just personally cannot justify spending the money on something like that, that could be better spent elsewhere... This is why you have to have people like Tony to spend the money, so we can drool over the stuff they have, that we wish we had lol... It truly is a gorgeous piece no doubt about that. If I strike it rich soon, I will buy 10 of them, anodize them all different colors, and change them daily based on my mood like a mood ring lol...
