FD- Does anyone make a reverse hood open hinge kit?
I was wondering if anyone makes a kit to be able to open the RX7 hood backwords like the corvette. My car is a 1993 FD. Thanks.

i know i dont have a fd, but i had to make my own for my datsun, even used a hinge set from a 84 vette. course, fiberglassing and having friends in good places helps too huh?

peace

haha..not to be an *******..but your an idiot. PLEASE explain your theory in how dropping in a motor that in the end is going to be about 30lbs lighter than the rotary(scales dont lie) is going to ruin the handling? The car now is actually closer to 50/50. Please keep your completly idiotic comments to yourself. Thanks.


Anyone else come up with anything for the hood?

I am just curious, does the rotary have a lower center of gravity in the car than the ls?

I've seen people use the hood hinges out of mid 80's buick skylark. You might have to shorten the middle bar.

yes
any other motor will totally screw up the car's 50/50 weight distribution

lol yes, your trash talking, theres no need for that half assed comment. Thanks anyways though. Your RX7 has a rotary in it because its YOUR car and thats what you want. My car has an LS6 in it because thats what I want and its MY car.
