I've finally joined the ranks of the have's as opposed to the previous rank's of want's.. I took posession of my 1993 Red on Black FD this afternoon..it is absolutely wonderful..of course it's too cold to drive it..not registered and things as such..but I'm just loving it right now..





A couple of pictures..will take more when it's nice and sunny outside. The color is Covrette C5 Torch Red..notice the Viper hood vent's..

Let the modding begin....

 

It's really nice.

 

Very nice! Congrats and welcome to the Forum of Empty Wallets and Broken Hearts". heh -jk-.. she's a beaut... Now get that road-salt or whatever off the lower fender and liner.

 

ummm......tasty, what hood is that. I've never seen it before. What mods did it come with?

 

nifty! wait...aren't you on the clubb5 forums also?

 

That's the "Viper Mod" hood
It looks good, though!

So when are you throwing the wine bottle against the front fender

 

Nice rex. I like the hood too. what kind is that? Is it funtional to the intake or the IC?

 

looks good, except for those paint chips or whatever they are.

That hood doesn't look too bad. I bet it would look really nice with the 99 front end and some sleek lights.

You need to take some pictures of it out in the sunshine though. I wanna see those.

 

I hear ya..I took some pictures after I got home, it was way too cold and dark..but as soon as it get's a little warm..

That is the "Viper hood" as Flybye rightly noted. The only mods on this car is a Greddy catback exhaust. I've got a few things planned soon.

Yes Kai..I am..remember I told you I was getting an FD..well here she is..

It's just a Viper hood..actually got from Dodge dealer..it is cut open..as far as functionality goes..it's running everything stock as far as the engine is concerned..so not sure if it helping any..but looks great...

Nope..no paint chips..those black things in the front are for the front license plate holder. I would get the 99 front end if it didn't cost an arm and a leg..

I will take some pictures in the sun and post them up too..

Thanx for all the comments guys..I'm sure I'll be more involved now in talking about my FD and what I want to do with it..

 

I'd really like to see some closeups of the duct and more info on adding it. I think it could probably be set up to feed an intercooler.

Sure thing Wade, I'll take some pictures soon..

 

Looks really nice...you said "notice the viper hood vents" suggesting there is more than just the one...so what gives? I like it and all but is tehre something that I cann't see?

 

Wait a minute, and correct me if I am wrong but didn't the old owner of that car belong to this forum??? And I believe that's just a viper scoop molded into a stock FD hood...

 

nice FD..its time to mod it now.

 

Speaking about nice hoods... has anyone seen the replica of the Scoot Sports vented hood? I forget what site had it for sale, but it was listed as a replica, in either carbon fiber or fiberglass. It's the hood on that red RX7 that was used in a high speed test in New Zealand that Option magazine covered...

 

haha, u must mean rotaryextreme.com
im number 10 on the list

 

cypher, congrats! yeah, i do remember, i just forgot the screen name. congratulations!

 

Lucky ******...

 

Where can you get the Viper hood ?

 

Man looks great!!! The hood is pretty good looking I must say. Enjoy it!!!

 

Where can you buy that hood?

 

If you had a scoop like that on the pasenger side instead of centered, you would get cold ram air to Blitz or Apexi open air filters.

Can you snap a pic of the hood opened? ...how deep does that inlet go?

I know Nissan had a feed looking scoop above the hood on their 280zx turbos but it was over $250 unpainted.

 

Sorry guys, I meant hood [I]vent[/B]. There is only one, so you're not missing anything. I will take some detailed pictures over the weekend to post. From what I was told from the previous owner, he ordered the vent looking at his buddies Viper GTS from a Dodge dealer..then put it on..how, where, I don't know..

But indeed, it is just the viper scoop molded/melded onto the stock FD hood..not an entirely different hood..or atleast I think that's the case..I'll verify..

The plans for the modding has begun..the actual work will start soon..

 

Please update this thread when you get some close up pictures of the hood! Thanks!

Wade
