Is thair any one that makes a motor cover similar to the one that comes stock on the rx8... but for the FC.

 

Why would you want to cover up such beauty?

 

^^^I had the same thought!

 

I think someone (Hypertek?) posted about something like this before. Personally, I don't think it's a very good idea. Beyond aesthetic considerations, it can't be good to hold in heat like that.

 

trying to make my car look like new.
and I'm tired of my motor getting dirty... Mississippi has a lot dirt roads.

 

i like the idea of getting a cover

 

No offense, but I think it's this idea that results in a lot of odd looking old/new mismatched cars. The FC is not a new car and trying to make it look like a new car is a bad idea.

Oh, and here's that thread... not really the same thing. May be of some help though.

not trying to make it look like a NEW car like an 08 or something.

im trying to make it look stock and to protect my motor.
and also hide some of the parts i miht be adding in the future.

thanks for the link tho.

 

just looked at the link. not really what i was looking for but a good start.

 

still looking for one

 

The RX-8 uses the cover for mutiple reasons.

#1 for noise. The cover reduces engine noise. On the FC with it's wide engine compartment, it would be very tough to reduce the engine noise.
#2 for heat insulation. The cover reduces the amount of insulation needed on the hood. The FC comes with a great insulator so there is no need for that.
#3 for air routing. On the RX-8 the cover helps route the air across the motor. Since you are not an aerodynamisist i doubt you could build a cover that does that for the FC
#4 for showing a clean face. Here would be the only reason for a FC... but then you have the height issues, as the Renisis sits considerably lower under the hood than the 13B and 13BT/C does in the FC and you would be hard pressed to get one in there that fits between the engine and hood. In fact even the knightsports one, has height issues and leaves many area's open because of this.

So in other words, the reasons to have one mostly don't work on the FC, and because of that, no one has ever made one, and I doubt anyone ever will (unless it is a 1 off that someone is convinced they must have and they make it themselves).

yeah mine is mostly reason #4.
idk for some reason i just like the look of it.

i was thinking about making one myself but i really suck at putting things together lol
