Re: Clear Cam Covers for 4-age 16v RWD
do a bit of a search, there was a thread or two a while ago abotu them.
there was company in japan making them years ago. recently they go for 400+ on yahoo, but are hardly ever there.
someone was looking at making some locally or getting made offshore, but i don7t think that ever happened.

Yer i've been doing som research i found a thread about 3 months ago and i tried to contact the guy but he didn't reply. Cheers mate.

i reckon they would be covered in oil and look fairly average after a week or so.
probly better off getting a clear cam gear/ timing belt cover if you want some more bling for your ride.
JDM style tuning might be a better place to search.

You'll be lucky to find a clear cam pulley cover.I've been searching for ages too.
As Oldcorollas said, there has been talk of a production run on a few occasions, but nothing has ever eventuated.
I would snap one up without a moments hesitation if a run was done.

Hmmm, it was about 10 years back... Suzukijidosya made a clear upper timing cover.
More common is cutting the stock cover and affixing a Lexan plate to the inside....

It was 10 years back...(maybe 5) I think is was the Suzuki link.... but I don't remember.... and it was at least 3 computers ago... and after the link went dead I had no reason to keep it. I DO remember it was VERY costly... like 40000 yen (about $400)

most off shelf specialty parts are not cheap in japan...
can7t be that hard to get some made in polycarbonate tho?

I think the big cost in the other failed runs was the prototyping and tooling for the injection moulding process. Not the per item manufacturing cost.
