yahoo auction

Too bad its so big I cant get it shipped...

 

thats cool, but i cant read anything - its all in japanese lol. there is a site that sells fiberglass and CF hoods for first gen's but i cant remember the url. im sure someone else will know considering i got the site from this forum.

 

you wanna read it? I just like the picture. But if you wanna read it. www.altavista.com look for the translate section and copy and paste.

 

is there a place that sells fiberglass or CF hoods for FBs?

 

Yes.

 

OMG! I must have it. How do I translate it? I need to know how much $. Yea the one here in teh states doesnt have underside reinforcement, so its not suitable for a streetcar. Not for nothing, but how do you find such neat stuff? I mean I look on ebay and all, but I dont look in a japaneese section.

EDIT: looks like the stock steel reinforcing underside. Not much weight saved there.

 

realy... thanks lol.

 

Hehe, I know it has been posted before. I dont have a link off hand for ya though. Dig around for it.

Type in "sa ra 7", "sa22", or "sa22c" in the search block. then click on the options over the listings that you cant read till pictures come up. Surf the pics.
I have it memorized which ones to click on. If you figure it out and are bored try "hks" "blitz""greddy""trust"

nice... CF always looks nice..

i kinda want a fiberglass one.. should be cheaper. but if i can get my hands on a CF i would get one.

 

hows the underside of that one you posted nimrod, and it hasnt been replied to in over a year. looks good on top, but is it just that or is there a skeleton?

 

Nope that's fiberglass. They take a mold of the top and bottom and then glass them together to get an entire fiberglass hood. Then they take a layer of carbon fiber and add it on top of the hood for looks. While there is carbon fiber on the hood, it isn't made of it. It is a fiberglass hood with a devorative layer on top. That would be crazy expensive if the entire thing were soley carbon fiber. They are still nice and light though.

 

Hey carl contact me and I can get one done for you for good price. Around $300CDN which would be $230US fiberglass like mine, really nice, weighs around 15lbs. Carbon fiber one can be made as well, but it will be maybe a pound or two saving.

Let me know,

btw the one in the link is 85000YEN which would be around $800US.

 

here are couple of pictures:





Without the vent it is around 1.5lbs lighter, so around 13.5lbs.

 

the stock one is light as hell, i'm gonna keep mine.

 

13.5 lbs Omid? Very nice. That reinforcing is FG too?



Geoff, the stock hood weighs 29-30 lbs. I know, I weighed them.

 

85,000 Yen roughly equates to $752.00 with an exchange rate of 113. Shipping would be at least $200. \

 

carl I have two stock hoods I just weighted the 83 is 29 .36 lbs and the 79 is an even 32 lbs if your keeping track. abeomid I have been looking for a vented hood do you have any more pics of it that would show how the vent is working? I was thinking that the vent would need to be curved toward the rear of the hood more to work effectively. wouldnt the front edge of the vent need a raise or a lip on it also? that does sound like a good price though.
