^ very nice job.
|
Yep TT damn nice looking hood.
|
I never realized you did that in alum, I thought it was glass!
That guy still has the atilla hood |
I don't see many things on this forum that I want to copy, but you did a great job on that hood TT. I did the evo vent on mine as a quick and dirty fix, but this may have to be the next step. Only in steel, as I don't have the ability to weld aluminum yet.
I'm sure the gussets on that hood will offer some structural support, so all the webbing underneath can get cut out too. That way, it'll only be 10x as heavy, not 100x :) |

TitaniumTT your hood does look good. I would bet it's beyond most people's capability to do that.
How many hours do you have invested in that? I would bet that if you charged yourself $15-$20/hr for the labor, materials, etc. it cost more than an aftermarket hood, but less than a custom "one off" hood. |

The point was to have a functional hood which is what I have. It's ducted strait to the intercooler. I never had a problem with AIT's, so flow through the core wasn't an issue. It was heatsoaking when I'd sit waiting for an auto-x to start. The hood helps with that better than any of the aftermkt hoods that i've ever seen. Now, if someone wants to pull a mold off of it.... then it could be reproduced much cheaper than a one off. |
Wow I didn't realize TT's hood was aluminum either... Very nice!
The quick hood I did for my v mount is steel... Next hood will be a CF razor style with aluminum ducting.... Here's the Steel one. https://www.rx7club.com/album.php?al...ictureid=27700 https://www.rx7club.com/album.php?al...ictureid=32233 https://www.rx7club.com/album.php?al...ictureid=27700 IPhone won't let me post the pics directly |
Functional = awesome. Nicely done. Is your car still @ Daves? I'll actually be there in a few weeks with a few friends for some dyno'ing

Yeah its still there... If all went well last week, It should be done and I can go pick it up this week. I'm gonna give him a call tomorrow. |
Sorry for never returning to my post. Dont have computer access too often right now. TT's hood is beautiful but out of my fabricating abilities.. The evo hood scoop looks good and within my skill range..
