My carbon fiber spark plug cover for my 20V in my MR2 Options

[MtyMseHarmer]

My uncle does a lot of work with fiberglass, kevlar and carbon fiber. So I gave him my spark plug cover from my 20V silvertop to see what he could do with it and this is what he returned to me today:

Actually I don't know that yet. I am up in Kansas City this weekend which is where my parents and my uncle live. I am going back home(Arkansas) on sunday and will bolt it up to the valve cover then. I will take pictures of it on the car then as well.

I wonder how it will hold up to the heat... the resin might bubble a bit.

My guess is that it will be fine because my uncle makes a lot of covers and parts that go in engine bays and these are for his fellow SCCA club racing friends and those piece's hold up so I am sure he used the correct resin that will be able to hold up.

Here are a couple of shots of the cover installed. Please don't look at the nasty engine bay, and ugly valve cover and timing belt cover. I have some cheap spray can paint on the valve cover right now and place to put some real paint on it and my timing belt cover has a few cracks in it so I am going to get a good condition one and see if my uncle can either cover it or make a carbon fiber one. Anyways here are a couple of shots for you guys:

Yeah my whole garage is very dusty right now because I am doing body work on my MR2. Once I get everything painted I am going to work on getting my engine bay clean and more organized(I bought the car with the swapped motor and it was very disorganized)

Actually not all AE111's came with a 6 speed. Most came with a 5 speed.

That looks pretty damn good. Any update as to whether it is holding up to the heat? Any chance your uncle would like to make some parts for the celi?

I haven't even fired up the motor in a while on the car because right now I am doing bodywork and the car is in a lot of pieces right now. I am almost done getting everything done and primered and once I get it primered I am going to put it all together and drive it around for about 100 miles or so just so I can drive it. I will let you know how it holds up.
