Anyone have Coupe Engine cover hinges lying around?

[BioBanker]

Im looking for the hinges from a coupe's engine cover.

I bought one of the downforce engine covers, and as awesome as it is, it does not work with the hinges from a targa.

Downforce is supose to be sending me a set in the near future, but Id like to put this thing on my car now.

Let me know if you're local and you do not have a use for your engine cover, or you have the hinges lying around. If they're in good shape, I will either give you the brand new ones that Downforce is sending me, or I will buy them from you if the hinges never arrive.

Hey Dave, I have hinges lying around as I have my cover off, but I do eventually plan on putting it back on so if you'd like to borrow it temporarily (several months is fine), I'm ok with that. Let me know...

P.S.- Alternately, I can "break in" your new cover on my car while you wait for the hinges to arrive

Arshad - thats awesome.

Thanks.

you going to Stus?

 

[BioBanker]

I see from the other thread that youre not headed to Stus. Whats the best way for me to get these from you?

 

[Arshad]

Yeah Stu's would have been perfect, but unfortunately I won't be going as I have to meet up with a friend from out of town. Not sure when you guys are hooking up at Stu's but I'm actually going to be near the beaches tomorrow night so we can potentially coordinate. Otherwise, I work up near Hwy7 + Leslie (which is out of your way), and I live even further north now near King City. Alternately I could just drop it in the mail?

You could drop 'em at my office 401 & Leslie and I can give em to Dave tomorrow!

 

[Arshad]

Thanks for the offer Stu, but it turns out that I'm going to be 5 minutes from Dave's house tomorrow evening, so he'll just pick it up from me then.

So did it work? Post up some pics man!

 

[BioBanker]

I will try to get some pics. Car is under cover and not seeing much road time these days.

Ill try tomorrow. Thanks Arshad!

Here are some quick shots I took today when it was in the garage.

I love this cover. But now I need a coolant expansion tank!

 

[Arshad]

SWEET!!

Damn, that looks really nice, but yeah you need to get rid of the milk jug! I've been happy with my SoS replacement tank:

I don't like the welds on it - there is a tank cover thats plastic thats type R that looks cool - black if I recall

 

[Arshad]

Yeah I'm not crazy about the welds. There's always Dali Racing. I've always had great experience with Mark, but there have been a lot of complaints about them too, so your mileage may vary.

[BioBanker]

Yeah - I like a few of those DALI products; too bad they seem to be better at taking money than shipping product.

I want that Billet OEM one!
