Will an 87 TII hood fit on any 2nd Gen?

 

Yup.

 

every second gen except those with a non turbo engine.

words can't express my disappointment when someone pops a turbo hood only to see an n/a sitting there grinning ignorantly at me.

 

they are lighter then the original steel hood. Thats the only reason I did it on mines :P

 

there are some Al non turbo hoods, granted not as common as the Al TII hood.

 

i took the t2 hood off my car in favor of the al na hood from the GTUs.. thats how real players do.

none of this ricer (did it for weight savings) garbage

 

lol, but it cuts .1 off my quarter mile time so i can break into the high 14's!

of course it also creates more drag which probably negates the weight savings once above 75mph.

 

So a TII hood will not fit a N/A 2nd Gen? What body changes were made to TII's that won't allow them to fit?

 

mission bait and switch successful!

it will fit, i just despise seeing the reverse sleeper mod.

 

i didnt think an n/a could break into the 16's

the more you know.

 

hell you could be right, but these days 14's as are considered pretty damn slow. i bet even 4 door hyundai base models run low 14's.

 

Well if it was an NA 20B, i don't think 16 should be any bit of a problem

Unless you just suck as a driver. Then you're just as useless as your neighbor with the Prius.

 

I like the Prius...

 

argument invalid

I normally don't post in these racing threads, but I have had 5 years experience with a nearly stock na FC.

I doubt the mustang was racing.


My na had rb muffers, pre-silencer, cone air filter, and emissions removed, for most of its life. I had nopi stage 2 clutch at a point.
Not sure if I had all these mods on for all the races/encounters I had.

Im embarrassing myself by posting this
But in my experience my na rx7 has been beaten or matched by a:
95 subaru impreza wagon,
early 90's honda civic hatchback,
a toyota prius going up hill after a turn (Idk how the **** this happened),
an early 90's corvette,
my memory gets fuzzy on the rest of these but, maybe an integra, and eclipse, I forget what else.

There could have been something wrong with my Fc, who knows. I don't think so. It was my daily driver for 5 years.

But anyway
Im sorry but I find it amusing when owners of na fc's post race threads thinking they have a fast car.
Put a bridgeport motor in or add a turbo, then post up what you've raced.

 

Lol, maybe the Gen V lowered on some Advan RGII's and some carbon accents. Oh god what did I just say...

 

Convertibles got aluminum hoods.

With my rebuild on the turbo swap about ready to be back on the road I have to decide what to do with my alum n/a hood. I've got TMIC and still need to paint the turbo hood..or drive it two tone till I make some decisions on paint.

 

my S5 GXL is fast compared to my 4X4 '90 ford F250 with it's dinky windsor 351, i dubbed that truck the magical slug. gets 12 mpg with an empty bed or while towing a 15,000 lb trailer with half my shop equipment and REPU in it.

 

It won't be a reverse sleeper mod...

 

You have a full write up on your turbo swap?

 

There is ****-tons of TII swap information in this section. You ought to look around a bit... A sort of "search" per se.

 

So a TII not running a TMIC, what would be the purpose of the TII hood? Isn't that about as worthless as having it on a N/A?

 

Just for looks.

 

So why do people say it's such a bad thing to put a TII hood on a N/A? I guess the same reason people diagree about the rotary-piston swap.... why does it matter?

 

No, it isn't really like that at all. There are particular reasons why people put a piston engine into an RX-7... they don't do it for looks.

The TII hood is for functionality, when a 13BT with stock TMIC is sitting under it. With a 13B under it... It is only for looks. It is personal preference.

 

is this a trap?
