oh wait... can my mrs buy them off u? :spiteful:

hehehehe... I will sell em for $400 to your wife if you can get me a celica (ZZT231) engine cover like the one on the attached photo. It will be black when you buy it at the wreckers. Just make sure it fits your car, as then it will definitely fit mine.

I had both my engine covers crack on the ground due to the wind over night, as I had left them out to air dry after respraying both to a deep red colour. =(

So I threw both of them out.

Was hoping if you could get one for me cheaper than $50 with no cracks from the wreckers you went too for your levin dash :spiteful:

I had them air drying after respraying them on top of those white portable clothes hangers we use to put laundry such as bathroom towels on. The area was enclosed except one side with a roof over it too. gg

The entire thing tipped over and my stock one has a massive crack on the top right where the screw goes in and the celica cover has a crack on the bottom left where the screw goes in.

you forgot the "T", hence ZZT-231. I think they wouldnt differ as its the same engine. Just make sure the screw holes line up in your own engine bay to make sure.

I was so ticked off this morning... i threw one of them towards the garage brick wall shattering it even more lol.

*sif* spent 5 hours last night getting the paint on it nice and even and using my heat gun to dry it faster so I can do a few more layers on them. If you manage to find one, I'm just gonna install it as it is, i seriously CBF painting it red anymore X_x

omg $200? so all this time he asked his mates how much he can rip u off for? wot a douche bag. You said plastic engine cover right? Or was he an ESL dude and misunderstood "the plastic engine cover" for "metal engine head cover"?

There are panel workshops near my work who use some sort of machine that sucks out the small dents on the car panels.

yeah i did... plastic engine cover with VTTL-i on it not the VVT-i

i was looking at this thing called "pop a dent" on ebay... might be worth a try since its only 20 bucks to my door... the panel shop guy said that its a waste of money and if u wanna do it, do it properly as i got bird dropping etchings and scrape underneath and side of the front lip and side skirts too...

how much do they charge? is it per dent? hehe... :P

sick of keeping the car perfect. esp when d!ckheads outside dont give a f..k about other people's properties... :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: :angry: i want my panels to be as straight as guni's! :P :P :P

not sure mate, they fix cars for insurance jobs... how about getting a strong vacuum cleaner that has tremendous sucking power and put a tea towel over the dented panel.

maybe the device at the panel shops is a magnetic machine not so much a vacuum type machine.

Got a camera mount for cruises, track days etc... cost was 20 bucks delivered... there was one for 9 bucks on ebay but i needed one for the cruise recon run so i had to get to delivered fast lol..........................

mounted it on the side passenger door window but that didnt work too well so i had to mount it upside down on the windscreen. little editing with all videos with loss of sound sad.gif but its better than the stupid view on the side wink.gif

Bought myself a levin cluster for 130 bucks. haggled from 160 cuz of the mileage done on it (23x,xxxkms)

it didn't take the extra connection from the right of the sportivo cluster. later on i found that the extra wires are from the fog lights and the low level oil lights...

funny this is that the foggies still work without the connector plugged in and when i tried plugging back the sportivo dash without the right connector, both the low level oil light and foggies still worked... confused much??? huh.gifhuh.gifhuh.gif

awesome thing is that its a difference to the plain boring red sportivo cluster and no beeping when in reverse!!! :yahoo:
