Re: Insomniac Thread
Ok the kspec write up says:
My question is,
Is this the same type we have now (1/4 turn) or is it the screw-in type?
The reason I'm asking is so I can get a billet oil fill cap of the correct turn style.

Re: Porsce Tiburon
The Beta 2 cover takes a screw in cap.
When REDZ originally told me about the cover conversion he also told me that I would be able to keep using my RSide cap, its 2 peices, bottom is 1/4 turn, the top is screw in. w/ the Beta 2 cover only the top part is needed.

Re: Crazy Subwoofers
No you cannot use your existing Beta 1 Oil cap. As others have said, the BETA 1 cap is a 1/4 turns. Just like the Mitz.
The BETA 2, V/C and oil cap is a screw type. Most Honda's will fit.
Oh yeah, the oil cap you will be getting with the conversion will be an OEM one.

Re: cold day for a tib
Looks like it's all covered.
Thanks guys.
I would recommend the following.
Buy the Rside Oil cap, install it on your beta 1 with the included adapter.
Then buy the Beta 2 cover set, I'll probably do a small 4 or 5 person GB on these, and install your same oilcap.
It's the one I've got.
Very nice.
Also, you can order the set WITHOUT the oilcap to save a bit of cash, I need to find out what the discount will be. If you are planning on allready having your own oilcap.

Well, what year is your car?
If it's before 2002, it's a Beta 1.
