If you are after one, I "think" i have one still spare complete with the rocker cover and clips etc. Will need to check
Some of the Verada's did not have them in the KJ series either, mits started skimping a lot towards the end

My TH Exec didn't come with one. Don't want one either. You loose like 4sec down 1/4 mile due to weight increase :P
Here's what mine looks like.

Any SA users have a spare eng cover? I'd like one for my TL. Any idea of what these are worth - new or used (ie wreckers)? Thx.

You should aim to purchase with the rocker cover, clips and bolts to make a clean installation
Price, I usually charge $75 for them when I get them

I'll probably sell my Sports cover if anyone wants to pay for it.

My TJ 2 Exec has a VR-X one :ninja:
I cut it up too, streetfighter is a bulky thing...

How much :happy: pm me if you want.*shrug* I'll take it off and make it an auction. One of those things I simply do not see the need for - hence why I sold my battery box last year too.

i tested temps in battery box and compared to engine bay, and it was alot lower around battery, which would extend battery life. ill try find where i wrote down exact figures. i suppose the engine cover would have the opposite effect and hold heat in the area between the heads, hey maybe it increases fuel rail temps to improve atomisation like the upgrade fuel rail spacers?? ha ha ha ah i dunno. :facejump:
