lol go for it! Just cut the outline of the inner skeleton of the Na hood.. You can gut some parts off the skeleton in the hood and loose weight... It drastically reduces temperature...

/\/\/\/\/\/\ Hit the nail on the head with that one! It seems easy enough and will make for a nice time killer when i'm all set with my suspension.

Well, i hate bringing my dsm into **** all the time but i did run 215 n3000 nexens up front and that car was a ******* pig. Ran roughly 3 or more degrees camber up front (dropped with no camber correction) and ran some toe out. NEVER HAD THEM WASH OUT ON ME. NOT ONCE. The rears were federals 225's and gripped just as hard. I want 50 series tires so i'll get something better later but i'll have to wait and see how the nexens work for me.

Its called All Metal. Its essentially like duraglass, except instead of being reinforced with fiberglass, its reinforced with ultra fine metal fragments. Slightly flexible, extremely ******* hard. Sands out smooth like finishing glaze too. We ******* fought with it for three hours before we figured the **** out, but so rad now.

So it's FANCY jb weld.

some updates...

working on some stuff to change it up a bit.. some random shots with the cell..







Me and my friend Vinhnumber welded a bracket to hold the bracket to hold the waangg.. Its very sturdy, and on the freeway on ramp I can really feel the downforce, the rear end is just planted, even accelerating, I feel noticeable drag.. The gt wing has adjustable angle, so its pretty awesome..
I just wished it was a bit bigger like haraguchis. His was at least 70" mine is 57"... As for the hood, you can see what Im going for, Im welding some trangles on the side in next week to reenforce the vents, and grind down the welds and smooth it out with putty[bondo] then primer, then yaya. Probably going to refiberglass the kit as well, instead of spending $300 on a new kit...then when all is ready paint for inteior and exterior...

I knew a guy who did that to the hood on his hachi, only for a drop vent. It turned out really good and was basically free. You could also make one long obtuse triangle for each side.

love the first shot in the second set of pics slava.
