Default engine dress up kit

are there any good kits out there for the beta motor ?? or am i forced to buy a universal kit ???

what about real steel braided hoses !!!!???
any companies make hoses for the upper and lower radiator hoses ??

the universal steel braid looks kinda ghetto

and what of billet caps?

I like the Rside oil cap
do they have radiator cap ???

is there a online store I can get the colored plastic wire loom (I think thats what you call it) ???

Most likely you will have to buy one of the kits that you cut. As long as the kit comes with straight hosing and not preformed you should be O.K. The hoses to my knowledge are pretty much universal in size compared to other cars I've seen.

EBay is a great place to pick up this stuff.

Rside oilcap sucks if you don't have the Beta 2 VC.

Jspeed makes a very nice radiator cover. I've got it.

As for the hoses and stuff, the slideover kits suck my ass.

The other kits, like the GFlex stuff, are VERY VERY nice.

Go to pep boys or something and cut the wire colored stuff, they should also have some of the nice radiator hose
also what looks really good to make the engine look nice is clean it with wd40 and a tooth brush or some allumum cleaner from pep boys
my whole dress up cost me about $20 but i didnt do the rad hoses

LOL

No, the rside cap sucks for the Beta 1. The adapter ring you have to use has a bar on it that breaks easily.

hey Redz, where did you get your radiator cover and do you have pics of it on your car. I am kind of interested in this.
