k is karat....K is kelvin. Whether you guys think this is high or not show me another one in this condition for less....

jtothawhat 02-26-2011 07:14 PM

Well, I have one in my room right next to me that I paid 50 for, I also have some crinkle coat spray paint next to it I got for 8 dollars, so I can clean it and paint it for a total investment of $58 dollars.

I tried, but unfortunately I cannot find any rust colored GTX/Capri valve covers period, let along for less than 150 dollars.

However, I have found several in the ~30 dollar range that can be cleaned up and painted something prettier like black or red.

Just sayin =P

GLWS.

kenzo42 02-26-2011 09:18 PM

Capri VCs are usually ~$50 range.

Thanks for proving my point.

spd579 02-26-2011 09:35 PM

Btw.....just wanted to thank everyone here for being doushes and trying to ruin my sale thread.

Guess people here have never heard "if you don't have anything good to say, don't say anything at all."

I don't think he was on your side bud, he was saying that you can get this cover for like 30 dollars clean it up and paint it.

Not trying to shit on your thread...GLWS

kotomile 02-26-2011 10:15 PM

Not to thread crap (anymore than already has been done), but who buys a valve cover based on its condition? Unless it's been run over by a truck, it's 6 to a half-dozen.

JEMERY 02-26-2011 11:29 PM

where did you get that fitting for the pcv valve port?

Pen2_the_penguin 02-27-2011 01:32 AM

step 1: get dirty valve cover

step 2: spay lose dirt with cleaner/starting fluid/gasoline/whatever, then throw in dish washer for stuck-on dirt.

Step 3: buy spray paint. prime and paint valve cover.

step 4: Advertise as awesome. Profit.

falcon 02-27-2011 03:18 AM

I don't know why anyone would want one of these anyways. All it is doing is letting dust/dirt into your timing belt area which will greatly reduce the life of the belt. It's designed to be used with the timing covers the 323 has. Not by itself.

You missed a step, and that is filling in all the 323/Capri only holes on the cover that you don't need on a Miata.

JEMERY 02-27-2011 03:43 AM

Non interference motor, who cares if you lose a few more miles from the belt. Looks good to me. GLWS.

STravisVrooman 02-27-2011 06:52 PM

Not everyone has the time to find, clean and refinish a valve cover and wont have issues paying for someone else's labor, looks good.

Enginerd 02-27-2011 08:55 PM

But the person who has the time could cast their own mold for $150. That's the difference ;)

Correction. A STOCK motor is non interference ;)/.

p51hellfire 03-10-2011 03:44 AM

If it makes you feel any better I saw a black powder coated one on ebay with the letters filled in with red P/c for $150, little word of advice, (calm dowm if some one wants your (expensive V/C) for 150 they'll let ya know... GLWS

You may want to lower your price just a bit. I see yours is ready to go but almost 5 times the cost is not really justified. Although you may be able to suck someone in on CR.net but good luck either way.

1) I'm assuming you're blind, they look nothing alike (like comparing a car in a junkyard to a restored classic)
2) That one doesnt come with a gasket
3) If you look at a few posts above I'm accepting offers(not $20)
4) If this thig doesnt sell I couldn't give 2 shits, I'm just trying to help someone have a cool looking engine bay for work I did for a car I sold.:fawk:
5) Not sure why you're posting here...thnking of slapping this on your 2jz?

Sean 09-30-2011 10:53 AM

They are the exact same valve covers one is painted nice and pretty one is stock and pealing, and who in their right mind trusts that the valve cover they just bought has a good valve cover. I was just trying to show you that the price is high. Also you know this would never fit my car and if it did I would have already gone to the junk yard bought one cleaned it and powder coated it for less than half that.
