How do i shave off the ULEV on the engine cover?

By ULEV i mean this one:


I want it to look like this:


Also where would i find a chrome oil cap?

Thanks for your guys help.

 

i'd say go to a junk yard and buy it. i believe that piece is different from the engine cover.
do and ebay search for chrome oil cap....

 

You dont. Its molded on. You have to buy one without it.

20 bucks new or like stated above see if you can get one off a used car

 

^Thanks guys, BTW where do you get those kind of diagrams?

Kris you da MAN! post some pics!!

 

pshh just sand it down, and paint it..

 

i think he meant molded as in it is raised there?
so nothing to sand down to.

if you really want your engine to look like that; buy a type s.

 

Did you not look at the pictures he posted??? He even has a arrow to the ULEV he wants off. Not the intake manifold. And what does buying a type-s have to do with any thing. Neither of those pics are a type-s either.

 

^ that made me chuckle

 

the second pic isn't a type-s? i have been carless for too long it seems

 

Negative. Its a TL-p

 

so whats the first one?

 

i believe one is a 99-01 and the other is an 02-03 both TL-Ps though

 

The second pic is a 99.

 

First one is a 02-03 TL-p
Second is 99-01 TL-p

 

i was under the impression the 99's are the only ones with that cover... i've seen a ton of 00 and 01's at the dealer with that "non Type S" cover

 

Thats not a type-s cover. ONLY the 99 had the intake manifold with the tubular design. The 2000-2003 had the other design. The type-s has a similar design but is raised further.

99 and ONLY 99's


TL-p


Type-s

 

so which one has the red lines?

 

 

once again... your correcting me when im not wrong lol

i did not say EITHER of those was a Type S..

you just explained the same thing i said... "i was under the impression the 99's were the only ones with that cover.. and that the 00-03 TL-P's had that "non Type S" cover..

wtf man... you got some personal vendetta against me.. its just getting rediculous...

 

I believe the TL-S

 

That's what my 2003 Type-S looks like...

 

I didnt correct you. I was clarifying. The rest of my post was to show the differences.
If you quoted people so we knew who you were talking to or clarified some of your posts i wouldnt have to( and we all know many here need lots of clarification) .
OH And if i had a personal vendetta against you i would just ban you.

 

Only the Type-s had that (the one in my pic during the 6 speed swap is mine with my old TL-P lower cover that was painted to match my car with the type-s upper cover which hasnt been painted yet ) i was just test fitting the motor

 

so that means this is... ?

 

See the post above yours

 

yeh we posted at the same time so i didn't see yours until it was too late.

and Rockstar: i think people are just hating because of all your pep boys parts. take them off and everyone will be nicer.

 

that was dirty..
the black roof is here to stay! lol and your not getting your hands on my black air freshener!

ps. want the 00-03 cover.. but it isnt worth changing Intake mani's

 

[/QUOTE]

want!

 

yay now i'm correct.

 

Someone throw him a cookie please

 

I think that's the one I've got.



Can't believe Acura went through that many engine cover designs in one generation. It's like they couldn't decide how they wanted it to look.

 

They had to redesign the covers to fit the redesigned manifolds. 2 TL-P's, and a Type-S.

Yours is different Bearcat, passenger side curves outward

 

Didn't know about the redesigned manifolds. I still would've thought they'd try to keep the design theme/graphics more similar - they're all over the map.

 

 

what was the point of adding the ULEV to one style of teh TL-P's?

oh and here teg..

 

For better "cafe" standards

 

Yeah, at the time they (Acura/Honda) were probably close to the cutting edge in the high emissions standard. IOW - ULEV was a big deal in "being green" in 1999 or 2000.

 

WHATS GREEN!? Power > World
