I'm taking a class this semester on Solidworks. Really glad I took it, learning a lot and it's lots of fun. I'm still a total newb to it, but I'm getting pretty good at 2-Dimensional stuff. So I decided to make a few parts for the SC300 that I thought I'd share!
1) Front Air Cover: There is nothing like this available on the market for my car. I wanted it to help force air through the heat exchangers, as well as cover up the big ugly open hole. Pretty happy with how it turned out!
2) Rear Air Cover: Same kind of deal. However these cars do come with a cover here OEM, but my car never had one since I bought it. Plus I like having a matching one there.
3) 2JZGE Spark Plug Cover. The GE (NA) engine has strange valve covers with the big dip in the middle because of the stock intake manifold. Once you go to a front facing intake manifold like me, they're exposed and look kind of funny. What everyone does is swap on the GTE (TT) valve covers and a GTE spark plug / cam cover. Thing is they come with Supra tax. So used valve covers are going to be like $300 bucks minnimum, and the spark plug cover another $150 at least. Forget that. So I'm making a simple little cover to go over my GE valve covers to atleast cover things up a little so it doesn't look so wierd. This isn't done, still a work in progress at this point
Anywho here's some pics. I had 5 sets of the Air Covers made from CF, and I had 3 sets made from Aluminum. All the aluminums are already sold, and I have a couple sets of the CF ones left. Making my money back from what I spent on all the prototype ones I had made while trying to get my dimensions right.
