Mr Mobsta Man 12-31-2007, 03:28 PM Just fyi, I did the same thing you are trying to do. You are looking for the valve cover off of a 92-95 si or ex d16z6 engine. Just wanted to let you know what they are off of so you can find one easier. addiction2bass 12-31-2007, 03:46 PM dito..... ebay place to buy BUT be warned... with a 92-95valve cover... they are aged more so ALOT more likely to corosion/piting on them... can still be sanded out smooth.... just takes alittle more look good... but definatly alot cheaper..... ;) no clue why honda stoped puting Vtec on the valves covers in 96.LOL jdizel 01-04-2008, 06:56 PM How much are you asking? jdizel 01-09-2008, 06:35 PM BUMP SevenKRedline 01-11-2008, 04:39 PM If all else fails, just take a screwdriver to it and etch V.TECH into it. But make sure to leave out the "h." :) Just out of curiosity, why does it HAVE to say VTEC? DOes it really matter? IMO that screams rice. Guess thats just me.... addiction2bass 01-12-2008, 12:33 PM well when showing off the motor its a good way to show that you do have Vtec under the hood instead of a nonVtec motor.... most people dont know what Vtec actually looks like. so instead of looking for the Vtec solenoid they just know it doesnt say Vtec. ;) to me it looks alot cooler than just a H and HONDA when polished/painted ;) YOU DECIDE... and i think it only looks rice when its painted crazy... standard 96-00 valve cover... http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/addiction2bass/NEW%2099%20Civic%20EX/valve%20cover/IMG_0256.jpg painted/polished 92-95 Vtec cover... http://i40.photobucket.com/albums/e250/addiction2bass/94civic%20project/384ced28.jpg jdizel 01-14-2008, 08:51 PM Retard...[sm=smiley29.gif] jdizel 01-14-2008, 08:56 PM Just out of curiosity, how does that scream rice?

I would attempt to answer this question, but apparently Im too retarded to do so. Some of you guys get a little carried away with the rice thing... And through my perspective..some of you guys get a little too excited about VTEC "thing." This is a forum. We are all entitled to our own opinions. addiction2bass 02-06-2008, 09:21 AM ORIGINAL: jdizel Just out of curiosity, how does that scream rice? Some of you guys get a little carried away with the rice thing... i never said it was rice..... i mean if its painted all crazy! like ive seen some lime green, bright yellow painted covers when their was nothing to match on the whole car.LOL i love a nice painted VC. but it "MUST" blend well with the car. otherwise its not my preference! the Vtec might seem overrated to some BUT its just "eye candy" for some. i enjoy it. BX_Civic 02-06-2008, 11:10 AM hrm thats interesting, my car does not say vtec on it and its a 93 with a d16z6 engine in it, or atleast thats what it says on the timming belt cover on that little sticker. http://obi1kanobi.com/Images/Car/StrutBar_Intake/StrutBar_Intake_001_copy.jpg BX_Civic 02-09-2008, 02:06 PM Can anyone let me know if mine is the correct one or if i got jerked some how? |
