i can setup a core charge if you'd like. i will send you your respective valve covers coated in the color of your choice. you would pay the cost of the group buy as well as the cost of the valve cover. when you receive the valve cover, send your original one back to me for a refund of your core charge. if this is doable for you guys let me know so i can track down both a 5s and a 3s VC. for the 3s, what year specifically do you have? do you have the valve cover with just the two bolts for the TB stay or do you have the peanut hole?? i have a few spares laying around.

stephen, just FYI, the 94+ celica valve covers are diffrent than the mr2 and 5th gen celica valve cover, and the camry cover.

(just in case you try and source a couple)

pics? i thought a 3s was a 3s with the exception of the years. and the 5s was only different in the camry but identical in the deuce and in the celica?????

i guess i have a lot to learn about celicas

Couple of questions...If this should be taken to PM please let me know, but as they are fairly general I figured other members might be wondering same thing.

1) When is this GB going until?

2) Do you have any pics of the wrinkle red s2k? Any pics of wrinkle black?

3) Is the GB only for "basic" colors? Or would I be able to do something with a candy/metallic topcoat, or lettering different color? If not applicable to GB, then how much extra would this cost?


I'd be in if a core exchange was set-up.

all colors that we offer are included in this group buy with the exception of the high temp colors, illusion colors, and additives. if you want something special, we can also do that, but we would need to discuss the extra charge arrangements. the base price will be based on the number of customers that are in by the 15th of April. so far, out of three forums, we have 5 names.

would you be able to match the exact color of my car and how would i send you something to match it up?

[jazzcornet]

i wouldn't be able to perfectly match it. but i do have a color called US Blue that is rediculously close to your car.

[supershannon77]

If core exchange was set up put me down for two...one 99 5s and one 91 3s thanks

[jazzcornet]

im working on it. but i've been told the 5s VC is different on celicas than it is on mr2s. any insight to this?

i will poak around a bit stephen, and find a few pics to illustrate what im talking about.
the later 5sfe valve covers are "taller" than the early versions.

IIRC the only diffrence between the 3s covers is the PCV vent tube.

[jazzcornet]

thank you.

[CelicaST_CALI]

how much would it be to chrome a valve cover and intake manifold??

[jazzcornet]

chrome plate or chrome powdercoat??

if you get in on the group buy here, the VC price will be determined there. otherwise, depending on the specific engine, it will be around $90+ return shipping. the intake manifold will run around $140 depending on which one it is. and this is all assuming you are reffering to chrome powdercoat, not chrome plating or chrome dipping.

here are some pics of the chrome powdercoat










sorry, I'm a really poor photographer

[jazzcornet]

thanks for the pic

the IM has much more coatable surface area than a valve cover and requires more prep work, hence the price difference. but like i said, i was roughly estimating the cost based on 3s-gte parts. they are subject to change

[jazzcornet]

ttt

[illneversellmyce...]

bump bump bump!

that chrome looks awesome, but wont the chrome turn orange or bronze or time on the manifold?

[jazzcornet]

nope. chrome plating turns colors when it heats up over time. chrome powder will not fade, chip, peel, or crack. at the very worst it will oxidize over time

[illneversellmyce...]

sweet after the vc get done ill probaly have you chrome other parts later
