Anybody have an old coil pack cover laying around they don't want anymore? I don't care what condition the paint is in, as long as it's not broken or missing the little metal spacers. If you had the bolts to go with it, that would be even better!

How in the hell you gonna call yourself a parts-hoarder when your product selection don't contain a simple plastic cover. You need to beef-up your stock if you're going to wear the crown .

Yeah Ive got one too, mint, with bolts. Came on my engine from japland, so it only has about 50k miles of wear on it. I need money to have this thing tuned once Ive changed the oil pump, so its not free, as much as I know you wish it was.

I would also be willing to trade for:

Penelope Cruz,

(1) 1959 Ferrari 250GT SWB,

or both. Preferably both.

ha ha ha. I have one, it's just been used for parts.

See I keep my CA in one piece so I don't have to buy multiples like some guys I know

Yeah, I don't blame you, my prices are pretty steep. Good luck finding Penelope Cruz and a Ferrari 250GT for under $20.

If I told you i was just curious, would you believe me? (Didn't think so). I have a bunch of them that are pretty well built indeed. I even have a few of those coilpack covers you seek "Mr. parts hoarder" .

I am faced with this dilemma,

I have a box from a commercial copier (like a fridge box) filled to the brim with CA stuff

On one hand, I need money to get my car tuned

On the other hand, if I sell all my spare parts, I won't be as legit balla as I was before

A guy with a non-running car with a bunch of parts laying around isn't really baller, is it?

What sucks is that I'm in the same boat! Maybe we can be the founding members of the anti-baller club?

I'm down. Any luck finding you an S14 shell? I have not been able to find anything local to me, but the "complete part outs" subforum in the classifieds is a gold mine. You can find them all day!

Tim, I think I gave up on finding a shell. I've pretty much fixed all of the rust on mine now.

I'm gonna get the cover from MeanGreen, I'm just having trouble meeting up with him on AIM.

yea those covers really make out motors look like 20 year old bastard children, and trap heat in the valley there.

Unless your racing WRC with your ca18 powered 240sx, water should never be an issue up under the hood that high.

It's purely asthetics. I like the look of it on there better than off.

I also don't have coil packs in there to worry about getting hot....

I think I low-balled Phil, LOL. His cover is a bit too nice for me!

If Phil didn't like my price, then Tim is up next.

NOW you chime in. Thanks! LOL, I'm broke right now, so I'm not down for it anyway.

But I did buy Phil's, so I've got one coming.
