Mighty Car Mods - How To Paint Your Rocker Cover

[tigris4149a2]

lmao rocker cover.....

[tcoffin014]

this makes me want a project car so bad

[510musicmaker]

can someone teach me how to remove the rocker cover of a toyota mr2 mkII.

[cheerleader4evva]

what rims are those ?

[undeadcorpse521]

strip paint. sand. degrease. paint. wait about 10 hours. bake in the oven for 20 minutes at 200 degrees fahrenheit. done.

[AJTorresEaz]

@undeadcorpse521 clean before sanding anything otherwise the oil grease and such will scratch into the metal and cause the paint to bubble

[undeadcorpse521]

@AJTorresEaz I haven't had that issue. but i will be sure to do that as a precaution.

[AJTorresEaz]

@undeadcorpse521 worst case sand it all down clean and do all the work again

[thatrowl]

im still fucking disapointed you guys bought a civic.. why not something cool? you know.. a real car. like an ae86. or a z20. or made a video on how to import japanese cars and get them compliant in australia. this is a waste of time.

[simrash20001]

@thatrowl they did make a video on how to import a japanese car and get them compliant with australia....

[lildragon5555]

@thatrowl Probably because they're not rolling around in money...Also, you should understand why they bought the Civic in the first play...

[deadramaster]

sick its red so it goes faster

[her31am]

ROACKA COUGGHHCHHAAA...

[wbc564]

what is a rocker, an what does its cover look like.

also, didnt you paint the valve cover

[Dodge94z]

@wbc564 the rocker cover is the valve cover... its just different names for it -,-

[undeadcorpse521]

@wbc564 valve cover and rocker cover are the same thing.

[BEA57KL]

You guys are seriously fucking awesome

[zlyable]

+100 hp

[Genamel18]

I think it's great that you guys are doing thoroughly detailed work with your notible expertise. Also, it's even better that you guys are using an underrated great tuner car, that I will luckily inherit once I get my liscense. The model I am inheriting is a '94 Civic EX, which I know is very similar to your Civic model.

[AJTorresEaz]

@Genamel18 in America Civics are the most tuned car most people do stupid things to them though

[yougodit]

Is it ok to use engine red paint?

[000ADRush]

@yougodit yes. done it before

[jacksonluke5]

doddgy as fuck if you don't want the paint too flake and turn to shit wet rub it and do it properly

[mailmanbam]

@jacksonluke5 i did it this way and it hasnt flaked yet... and i used spray paint

[CaD3mongod]

Who the fuck would want to do this? You guys are fuarked in the head brah. Eshays. Come gabber with me bro at Mt Druitt. Durham St Mt Druitt kient.

[joecoolman101]

@CaD3mongod i would want to..

[MrBolless]

@CaD3mongod Shut the fuck up and go smoke a bong you stupid lad.

[stupidog08]

And you call it quality paint on cover ? :DDDD I think you shithand never painted something like this.

[masterded1o1]

what kind of spray paint should i use? ? ?

[BlueSlidePark1994]

@masterded1o1 High temperature paint such as brake caliper paint

[mxroxz]

Do you have to replace your gaskets?

[Tupples1]

@mxroxz no

[Stanzskater]

0:45 I LOVE IT!!

[freecandy90]

And Rake loves it

[RyanTritini]

attempting this and calipers on my 01 accord.

[damiiRx]

i like those plates: AE86 ED

[nick081980]

Nice... rocka Cuva Bruva .... lol

[TheDanman5000]

gonna attempt this on my 2000 civic, then maybe the calipers after. thanks guys

[Sammusic92]

love the credits at the end

T shirts - dvd's- stickers - forum - Rakes love

[mrcokez1]

@ 2:33  ....mad

[yalolol]

ROFL bought the eBay exhaust-tip addon!

[katanaburner]

Holy shit! Who's Nissan Skyline GTR34 is that? Beautiful!

[YauRemi]

Looks like an sr20 redtop? ...yes... Awesome!! hahaha

[HanateWakusoSheseo]

AE86, R34, s15? where the hell you guys live?!

[ZOMBlEHUNTER]

@HanateWakusoSheseo Sydney ;)

[dogeatme]

@HanateWakusoSheseo Australia...... Those cars are everywhere. Well maybe not the AE86's.... 

[AnubisSolvang]

Not to be rude or anything but that paint job is terrible. I still enjoy mighty mods though, keep it up guys. MrStevieboy ignition switches are really easy, I like the push start option as well.

[Merjia]

But does Rake LOVE IT?!

[Merjia]

0:00 Marty not happy.

[tiger0tank]

@GJA003 nope it's real, they turbo it in the next build vid, that fmic was a joke lol

[MrBolless]

@tiger0tank no its fake..

[f0rcedinducti0n]

Valve cover.

Not rocker cover... no rockers on OHC cars... so just call it what it is.

[trmmartin]

This mod adds at least 10kW.

[gregherbert123]

It might have been worth mentioning that when you take off the leads, yiu should note which spark plug they were connected to. On some cars the cable length doesn't make it obvious... And putting them back on in the wrong order = nightmare.

[MasterTenku]

Probably should have told people not to drop anything down the bit where the coils go, that could fuck an engine up pretty baad...

[GT6Time]

Yes everyone, unbolt Dah Cavah

[SayonaraProduction]

Awesome mod :D

[linglingftw]

Does the paint have to be temperature proof?

I don't think export is rated to 300+ degrees.. :o

[Dodge94z]

hey mcm, can you paint it without removing the rocker cover???

just so you dont need to buy new gaskets?

[TehWingman69]

@Dodge94z you dont have to, but when you take it off its a good time to change them

Wingman

MCM Forums.

[MasterTenku]

@Dodge94z yes, but why would you?

[Dodge94z]

@MasterTenku easier...

[MasterTenku]

@Dodge94z It's not about how easy it is, but how good the end product looks. Overspray looks tacky, especially in an engine bay where it becomes obvious that it's a backyard rattle-can job

[HowItWrites]

I would love to have a skyline sitting outside my house

[RPS13NY]

LMFAO @ "looks like an sr20 redtop" hahahaha

[kenninho119]

I reckon crinkle red would have looked better

[MrStevieBoy9]

PLEASE TELL ME YOUR DOING A PUSH BUTTON IGNITION!?

i'd love a how-to on that... just for the extra sport car feel ;)

[pcaddict1337]

@MrStevieBoy9 -Yeees.Great idea mate.

[RXHardstyle]

@MrStevieBoy9 lol its more luxo cars that have it

[k9monkey1]

@MrStevieBoy9 S2K bro gotta love it

[themadmallard]

Filler videos until he gets his Subaru. :D

[muxishine]

OMG FULLY SICK BRO!

[Mr13X13]

that guy has a hachi rocku!!!

[Graphicspittz187]

Nice

[IceCold720]

What happend to the BC install video you promised me?

[jdmrican94]

Thefryingpan16 lol good one

[TheFryingPan16]

it would look even nicer if it said vtec

[specialfae1989]

EG6!

[krazor14]

i was just thinking about doing this to my car, then i went on mightycarmods and found this video. Hahaha benefits of such a good show

[joelyboyblue]

come on people! help marty and moog out and LIKE the bloody video!

[razabrahh]

what does JDM mean ?

[andrewj08]

@razabrahh

Japanese Domestic Market



[xXxDANMANxXx]

@razabrahh it means "google it"

[IceCold720]

@razabrahh lol....

[poopycrispy]

is that a D series engine? and if so, which one is it?

[xXxDANMANxXx]

where's that build video!!

[IceCold720]

@xXxDANMANxXx I think this is it mate.

[xXxDANMANxXx]

@IceCold720 idk because they said they'd have a whole video on the build, not just little stuff like steering wheel and valve cover :/ really hope they make one ^_^

[snk9045]

Painting your "rocka cava" add 25 kw to your engine

[dubhummer75]

you guys need to do a motor swap on that civic. you should drop in a b16 or b18 in that.

[mitch9294]

"High temp paint" = $3 tin from crazy clarks

[jerrymeeee]

It looks like SR20 now? Redtop?

YESSS

[sgtarnold933]

im not a honda fan at all as i drive a 2002 F-body but that civic is really attractive. good job mate! your putting in a good name for honda

[freestyla101]

am i missing the episode in which they actually acquired the civic?

[brindabellaoffroad]

paint strip it first kids...

[RubbaDingyRapds]

Rocka CAVA!! love

[AlfredvanKuik]

Definately on the to-do list for my miata, but I'm too lazy to order new gaskets x'D

[8000RPMS]

that's what i call.....having too much time in your hands, and wasting it.

[TheSpeedfreak14]

@8000RPMS this comming from the guy watching a youtube video and bitching about it. oooo yea they sure are wasting time.

[8000RPMS]

@TheSpeedfreak14 .......shut you fave kid, for your info i didnt do that video, it was my friends, and that was 4 yeras ago, he past away and thats why i uploaded it.

[TheSpeedfreak14]

@8000RPMS dude do u even know what your sayin? i was not gettin on u about the video u have on your channel. im not even gonna explain it to u because u will probably think im talking about tacos or somethin compleatly different than what im talkin about. good day to u sir.

[ConcertMusik]

Haha, "Rocka CAVA!"

[FalkataSports]

Thumbs up if most viewed brought you here!!!

[TheNizzmo]

hey guys a bit random got a 00 wrx impreza wagon but when i put my foot down a lil the turbo kicks in boosts then the revs go up then back down with out changing gears i dnt get i thought i could be a boost leak but its not my last car was a r33 gtst but love the rex let us no cant get anythin on it

[lambyramsewe]

@TheNizzmo If you have a manual, and you mean when you put your foot down the revs jump up and 'hold' for a moment then drop back down as the car speeds up and then continues to climb with the car as it normally would. I'd say you're clutch is due for replacement. My rex did that. If felt like driving an auto with a high stall converter. New clutch and it was good to do though.

[TheNizzmo]

@lambyramsewe yeah its manual yeah its waht u said drops the gos back up ty for the info

[Martenrrx]

Rocketcava!

[giovanni9763]

I have the same t-shirt mofo

[shoeb2015]

all cars are red @ 1:54

[billiesubs]

caliper paint on rocker covers eventually burns off, leaving it looking dull.

[Polar7652]

i want that car

[Dodge94z]

Doin this to my car tmorrow :D

Sometimes in Bed I pretend i'm a carrot

[omid11]

gain 4 hp right there

[Fight4Justice2011]

YESS!! Hopefully they show how to Darken the tail lights in the next episode!! :D

[1337viinnh]

@Fight4Justice2011 either tints or hobbie transparent spray.

[91cog]

I LIKE CHEESE!

[rodriguezrocks]

soo...whens the next episode come out???

[DarkSniperNS]

NEXT TIME on MCM... so the bumper got kicked in again??

[napathan]

That car is so clean.....I'm super jelly.

[iworkforbudlight]

I think i have to try this

[MickDoohanita]

swap a k20 in this fucking EG!

:-P

[GizmoTN]

"Quality of the Final Product is in the paint". Im Sorry, in this case the prep was Minimal! you can have a MUCH Better finish for not much more money.

One of the Worst How-Tos yet IMO

[dustyroads13]

why does it feel like there's so much time in between each video they release :/

I want new mighty mod vids every day!

[jaswc08]

omg they forgot to jack up the car! lucky nothing went wrong

[92mmm]

OMG love you guys thank you so much, have been wanting to paint my rocker cover for a long time just did not know how to hehe :D

[tipuric1]

may i suggest you'se put smaller rims and lower it then i rekon it will look really sick



[ducatiracing]

this is useless, i own a rotary. I dont have a rocker cover :(

[orasmaeK]

you forgot to jack the car up!

[vidaddict10]

That civic looks and sounds hot. I want to see the build!!!!!!!!!!

[DrYiCe34]

@pnitro3 - i was referring to the sexy 86 at the start of the vid

[jack911996]

sooooooo glad that civic dosent sound sound like a ricer fart cannon

[Shadowhuntrx]

You can also put Vaseline on the lettering so the paint does not stick to it, works great.

[Glenjimen]

The coming up looks grat suspect it would be few episodes though (hopefully so can go into depth) Fusion Amp - decent bang for buck!

[golfmk6r]

is that a BREMBO caliper cover i see at 2:58?! lol

[okel91]

i did this b4 mcm does that make me a hipster?

[fantabulaman]

Hell yeah this sort of shit is mint

[agro32]

ive just clicked on how u have done you "turbo" conversion on this car... very very sneeky

[Lon3w0lf119]

Im a honda enthusiast but A single cam Honda.... Really....

[JJchingy]

SR20 pisstake

[tt01dwifta]

[stormer1092]

[MuziikMuziik]

[tishihara1994]

[dimsteroner]

[ensified]

[theoriginalafroninja]

[youngdimebag1993]

[JDMTortuga]

[RasburryMuphinz]

@JDMTortuga chill.

[mightycarmods]

[JDMTortuga]

[XenomorphLV426]

[pcdc25]

1:42 THE S15 LIVES!

[MarkrayExp]

sohc?

[jerk151810]

I hate people who just comment to get "thumbs up" smh!

[sgcwproductions1]

@jerk151810 i see what you did there

[coolsun888]

it seems to of needed more prep work before they should have painted it.

[TheDennyvu]

remember kits wears safety glasses when using a wire wheel! not like this guy! If you dont want a wire in your eye its much recommended

[importornothing]

would look so much nicer with 15's

[shivam220]

martycarmoogs :P

[marcotoni231]

i had mine media blasted for about $10

then hit it with engine primer and some aluminum
