Best hood hands down is the Feed or Feed replica hood. It resembles the hood on a Jaguar XJ220. Hotness.

Yuck. I hate the two longitudinal lumps after the vents. Looks like a couple of pillows under the bedspread.
Best vented hoods IMO are the Mazdaspeed and the RE Amemiya AD9. The KS and Panspeed GT2004 are good too. The FEED is nice looking, but proven not very functional (the vents are too far back and suffer from high pressure area in front of windshield, just like removing the weather strip on the stock hood.) |

What's your thought on the R Magic hood? I can not makeup my mind about it. I like it, but it seem to look difficult to hold down. Every hood I have seen is held down by pins. Your thoughts?

That's the one I'm referring to. I personally think it's hideous. |
not my cup of tea...
|
If I had to go aftermarket on a hood, Feed or Mazdaspeed. Feed would be my first pick. The closest you will get to OEM look. Otherwise stock.
|
I am not big on r magic anything but that hood above any other look sick.
|
I love re amemiya's hood. The vents are functional.

How is it on cooling down the bay.

I dunno, how we'll DO YOU think it'll work, since it's your car and your money...

Dreamworks Racing's hood is still my absolute favorite (took much effort to get it stateside). In its case, function follows form IMO.

Attachment 509610 You see hood pins in the pic because that is R-Magic's competition car. They removed the stock hood latch for weight savings and the V mount IC frontal brace is bolted where the hood latch would normally be. the 2 bumps in the middle back of the Vents are to help pull hot air from the turbo VIA cowl so the hot air doesn't circulate forward towards the IC then out of the front vents. |
Oun
Thanks, that's really is very informative. I was unaware of the details behind the placement and functions behind the hood. I was just wondering as to why on their web site they mentioned, better yet the recommend the use of hood pins for install. Thanks for the heads up. |
well depends what crowd you fall under... the rx7 community seems to be very diverse but the 2 main categories are the purist and the extremist... I consider myself an extremist, I love the wild crazy style and the RMagic hood is awesome.
|
Does anyone know who if anyone makes a replica r magic hood ?
|
Stick with the factory hood. Keep it classy.

I agree. Unless you're on the track in a race car, why deal with the ugly pins and rain coming in your hood? The stock aluminum hood is nice and lightweight. If your FD is running hot, I'll bet a vented hood ain't gonna fix it. Proper ducting leading to clean oil coolers and a big fat radiator are the most likely answer. :) |
Question: could one run the r magic hood with out pins. Or is it a given , you need them to hold it down?
