I would be down for a panspeed replica in CF. Looks sexy and low maintenance.

updates?

viviorunitia88 01-30-09 02:45 PM

waiting to start a prototype kinda hard without a car with an engine in it. But it should happen soon due to a good friend on mine. So ill let you guys know as soon as i start this.

Supernaut 01-30-09 02:58 PM

Does the cover have any functional value at all?

GoodfellaFD3S 01-30-09 03:00 PM

As far as I'm aware, aesthetic only.

Yeah, it a thermal insulator, so your intake charge should be that much hotter.

Wellllllllllll, here is what I was thinking, lmk what you guys think:
This is the KS one
https://www.rx7club.com/attachment.p...6&d=1233439618
I would cut where the red line is, and I would fill in where the red circles are. I dont like what they did with the UIM with the cutout, I want something more along the lines of the PanSpeed one posted earlier. If I can get my hands on a PanSpeed one I would just replicate that, if not I can get a KS one, do my modifications and then reproduce that. Here is what I am talking about:

does it serve a purpose or just to look good, im asking if anyone knows the answer

DMoneyRX-7 06-28-09 11:37 PM

no, it does not serve any other purpose other than visual appeal. I think someone said this earlier in the thread.

SayNoToPistons 06-30-09 12:43 AM

Deadmau5 ftw.

Syritis 06-30-09 12:54 AM

personally i think they look cheap and hold in more heat. i just like seeing the guts of what makes our cars go, and u can really see how much effort someone has put into their car rather then just covering it up. might as well leave the hood closed.

HOWEVER
If someone were to make a cabon fiber cover that wrapped around the engine, separating the engine bay heat from the ABS and master cylinder. I would have to consider buying in!

much like this one but full enclosed.
