thats' about it!
 
looks good. thats the first time ive seen an imrc cover cut that much, why not just remove it?
 
Bah, I was only looking at it from the right side angle. Yeah, I agree with bagged though...why not just take it off completely?
 
Yeah, that cover is hacked to sh*t. Theres no point in it being there anymore.

I would of cut a small square and installed some mesh.

What he's got left is enough to hold up the vac line off the waterpump belt. I considered doing the same thing, but opted to use a metal hook to keep it up.
 
nice. so, will you be providing the fireworks show again this year at SZ?

this thing might be N/A all year. if i'm more than that, plan to see big #'s and fireworks. i'm bringing a trailer to SZ this year if i do more than the N/A stuff.
 
thanks. cleaning up the engine bay really helps. i saved a ton of room when i deleted the AC and took out all the lines. and yeah, everyone has their own opinions about the valve covers. i was going to polish them but i just didnt have time, i needed the car on the road again so i painted them.

redlineracer12, i might take one off your hands if that's cool.... im seriously considering a gutted LIM. i'd still want the beauty cover though, i don't much like the look without the cover.
