i agree, im sure a lot of work went into it... which is why i would sell it to someone who appreciates that fine piece of artwork

maybe there are other 12 year old SR owners who would be interested... :-)

Save yourself the pain and get an S13/S14 hybrid valve cover. You will thank yourself later.

stock is painted, not powder

if you put a powdercoated cover on, or if you plan on powdercoating - its more work than most expect. the baffles need to be removed and silicone stripped. there is also a plastic drain fitting.

more often than not, most people BBQ the valve cover in the powdercoater's oven and never realize the charred mess within the baffles.

my cover has been drilled and tapped so that i can remove the baffles

First off amazing thread! I am envious at your fabrication skills. Keep up the good work!

Also please tell me you have the paint code for the color you used on your engine bay? Its gorgeous. I need it lol

Hey, paint code is Porsche Carbon Grey Metallic with a slight dish of brown in it.

When you see the color in the sun the car appears slightly brown, and at night its´s almost black. Pretty awesome color in my opinion.

I love the work you are doing! Are you going to stick with midnight purple, or are you respraying the whole car in Porsche Carbon Gray?

Are you planning on having it registered with the SR?

Wow! Biltilsynet just sent me a list of what I had to do to get my S13 approved with H&R springs, and now I am wondering if I am really going to get it approved. Please keep us updated with the process og getting it approved

as long as you have TUV papers on the springs it shouldn't be any problems. and you follow the papers in terms of height.

I'm going too approve KW v3 coilovers, and skyline brakes aswell.

going too keep you updated on the progress

use washers on those newly painted shock towers, otherwise you'll see some cracked paint! looking good, love to see more updates
