cool bit of engine dress up....

[Jonrms]

i bought a banzai mag yesterday and noticed this in it... i was impressed and i am thinking of buying it...
take a look... will it fit first of all?
i dont know the sizes...
anyway i put a picture of this for you to see incase any one is interested as well. but i need to make sure it will fit...
this will be my first engine mod...
heres hoping..

Jon, give them a call and get the measurements from them. I would think that it will not fit in the engine bay, but would work really well at hiding all the cables and battery itself should you want to move it into the car/boot.

Ive seen that there are a few RX7's with nice covers, no idea if local mazda sell them but thats an option.

Steve, that is a standard Mazda part. I will try and get the part number tonight.

i want to start putting chrome in my engine and dressing it up. if there was a battery cover that was chrome that would be fantastic... i would love to get my hands on one.

Hi all,

I found that battery cover to be a PITA! pain in the arse, and it won't fit very well if you have a different battery to standard.

How about this engine? :eek:

Mount the turbos the other way, i.e. top unit infront of the bottom turbo and I surprose I might fit it if nothing else was about. ;)

damnnn i dont know where to begin now with the engine dressup.
i like the whole redish pink colour and chrome in the engine...
where do i go to start getting bits... and also the hose kit?
i am thinking of comming down to the show this weekend..
it is going to be one heck of a drive but i hope i can make it.


anyway where do i begin for dressing up my engine?????

Jon, best bet is to go to Donoington this Monday. They have a trackzone day running and there will be a few FD's there.

Some of them have dressed up engine bays and interiors.

Most of what you see is just polished up OE parts. Lots of time and arm work is required, unless your good with machines that can do it.

As for hte pipework, you would in my opinion need to look at braided SS lines/hoses. These can be obtained from Mocal/Think Automotive (http://www.thinkauto.com/). Cost is NOT cheap, but when your playing with the fuel and oil lines you cant do it on the cheap.

I will try and find some pictures of other cars that have done this sort of thing and post them up.
