(Thread Starter) |   Not Ranked : 0 score  Turbo_Steve's Valve Cover and HPFP cover review I have received and installed the covers. These are aluminum panels that were powder coated wrinkle black. Initial review was of packaging. Packed nicely and no scratches. Both coated panels were plastic wrapped. Then they were wrapped in enough material to keep it immobilized in the box. Color instructions are nice and ended up easy to follow.

Before ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538730.189556.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538747.448093.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538757.303077.jpg Because my piping is protege garage v1, it's own fitment is pretty much butthole. But I was able to remove the coil pack bolts without removing the hot pipe. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538839.278240.jpg Hardware consists of Allen bolts, a washer, a spacer, and a little rubber o-ring that just holds it in place for install which is great, when all 4 are hanging prior to install. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538907.862742.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538980.715896.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445538991.987866.jpg Installed quickly. I slid into place, lining each bolt with the coil pack prior to tightening any. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539096.374563.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539162.299217.jpg Hpfp was cake too. Same thing as before. Remove bolts, put plate and hardware on. This one used 2 spacers, but the little o-ring kept it right. Installed in a couple minutes. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539238.520808.jpg Fitment was spot on. I bet others will have a lot more clearance than I do. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539271.520627.jpg Covers the coil mess and looks clean. Not sure if this counts as another modification I have installed, but I'm claiming it. 6 now. ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539345.326103.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539356.279938.jpg ImageUploadedByTapatalk1445539377.841112.jpg Look for @Turbo_Steve; to be a vendor soon under Adapted Performance. | |

| Not Ranked : 0 score Looks good! Nice writeup. Only sad part is the mazdaspeed logo is partially covered with this charge piping. I will offer versions with no logo cutout as well & lots of color options. Thanks! ouchmonkey likes this.

| Not Ranked : 0 score Is it possible to do a smaller mazdaspeed logo and align it to the left? Looks great though.

(Thread Starter) | Not Ranked : 0 score I do want to follow up that it passes the wheel hop/spin test with the JBR high duro trilogy mounts. Had some fun, wheels spun, a little hop in 2nd and no banging heard or damage seen after. | |
