i just got a carbon one. Dont glass ones warp and go rippley like some cheap bodykits do? Everytime ive seen a fibre glass one it has looked rippley to me. The carbon one has a PERFECT smooth finish, and you can paint it or leave it black.

How much do glass ones weigh? i havent weighed mine, but its hell light to pick up. Like ricknizmo, i like the look of the vents more than the weight saving.

The bonnets UAS sells are very well finished, and the vents do look cool.

INASNT: why the hell would you let someone sit on your bonnet regardless of wether its cabon or not!

some stupid **** might sit on your bonnet when its parked in a carpark or instance. If alot of people are standing around talking sometimes peoples brains go to sleep and they decide to take a rest and sit on your bonnet.

yeah got mine from UAS. They dont budge on price tho! A while back i offered to buy a full GTR kit and carbon bonnet, the works, was gonna spend around 3 grand cash, and they wouldnt give me even a little discount! i think that sucks, there is always room for discount esp with cash. "The price on the website is the price." the dude told me...

Carbon Fibre (CF) top lining with Fibre Glass (FG) bonnets are supposed to be cheaper. Try not to pay over 800 for one.

I sell those on Hondas for only 500 OEM and 550 vented :P

A full 100% 3K grade CF will set you back above 1K

Carbon Kevlar is different realms and is also above 1K

Attached is pictures of the end product of a Celica 00-02 and a nearly ending product of an EG 4 door vented bonnet.

Apart from being light, the vents "are supposed" to improve air circulation by allowing heat from the heads to dissipitate efficiently, therefore maybe explaining the use of vents for Evos. But dont quote me on that, as I have no credible sources for the info on vents.

don't either of them decapitate the driver and passenger because they don't fold properly like metal bonnets in accident?

Yeah cause the metal bonnets are designed to crumble. Therefore carbon fiber bonnets are not ARD compliant.

How about we get a few picks and put some Homer Simpson "speed holes" on the car?

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
