Dammit, I formatted the stupid thing wrong. Anyway, a truly hideous car. I don't know where I found it, but it just makes me sad whenever I see it.

Allright now, let's not get carried away kids. Keep the conversation civil. The point HondaHater was making is that it's lame to intentionally make your car apear to be something it's not. I believe his response was blunt because yours was kinda rude. Let's try not to go into a forum and start calling everyone idiots and start dropping the F* bomb all over shall we? Maybe if we had some tact we could all get along.

who said the kid is trying to make it appear a TII maybe he just likes the look ha nothing to do with making it look like a TII because if you knew anything about cars you would see either the IC in the front or the IC through the scoop simple.

I was referring to this statement:

And I agree, the hood is not an attempt to make the car look like a TII. It's only an attempt to make the car look better. Now if one were to go slapping TurboII decals on the fenders... that would be another story. It's no different than swapping to a better looking set of wheels in my opinion.

you people are all dumbasses...

the turbo engine only puts out 30 more horsepower anyway so why would i want to be a poser and pretend i have 30 more horsepower?

if you do it for weight savings, great, but its only 10 pounds for crying out loud.

the hood swap is done for looks and looks alone. when i get a turbo hood im going to paint it. the car will look much more agressive.

you say it disturbs air flow and cooling? just block of the scoop.... simple solution.

Most people think the TII hoods look better than N/A ones but everyone has their own opinion.

Only fans of Rx-7s know the difference and should be able to tell if the owner is trying to "make the car something it isn't" or just trying to improve its looks.

Putting a TII hood on an N/A will lead to an aggravating whistling noise while driving.....and make the car explode.

Only a dumbass would think the difference between the NA and Turbo engines is "only" 30hp...

soooo we put a t2 hood on a friends BP S5 and it made the intake manifold touchable after hard runs. where as before the hood you'd burn your hand. So i'd say it made a difference...

I had my turbo II sitting in my backyard, it won't be rebuilt til the summer hopefully. I just got my new dd, which is red, with a black bumper, and black fender. I swapped the ugly red steel hood (I am not a fan of red), for the black tII hood. I am in no way trying to pass my car off as turbo, and the hood will return back to my tII once it get's rebuilt. I'm surprised this thread went this way, all over a damn hood.

See thats what I'm talking about.

Put a green door on it too.

That way you can pass it off as redneck, not ricer.

Ha. I bought it with the black bumper/fender. It was cheap, it's a daily driver. Has black wheels, and imo I think the hood looks black hood looks good with the red.

Edit: Here's my car. First two are before I picked it up, Second two are from when I got it.

Well damn, steal the T2 fenders off your other car so you can get the T2 decals too!

so basically switching any body parts from another car is rice?? i hate the word "rice". it is overly used for stupid **** too much. if someone wants to put s5 side mouldings on their s4 and s5 tail lights on their s4 and a TII hood on their NA..... OH and what if someone likes the s5 center console better? does it make them a ricer if they swap it out from the s4? Oh, and I guess me saying s4 and s5 and TII is rice too huh?

Or maybe it's your favorite car because thats all you can afford. Or maybe it's because all your other little ricer buddies like the fact that you have a "mad tyte shifting fast car yo". Or maybe, and this is the one I'm hoping it is, your blind and have never seen the crx and only think it looks good because people love to make fun of you in your little crap mobile.

lol, you must not realize that the ricer population out numbers rx7 enthusiasts 100 to 1 or maybe even more but of course you probably already knew that by being a member of every useless ricer honda forum out there.

again look at the pictures above if you continue to think this then I can provide you with pics of my standalone ems, alky injection, steel braided fuel hose, etc.. etc.. etc...
