carbon fibre


Recommended Posts

seriously, ide much rather perfer a carbon fibre one. its a fiar bit lighter, they are able to withstand alot of shock, ive seen them drop wheels form about 6foot and land on the bonnet, it jsut bounces back into place.

for me to get my bonnet repsrayed i would be looking at alteast 900 for ontop and underneath. and thats the price of a carbon bonnet. when you buy them then dont need to be painted, they come with a clear coat so its all ready to bolt on.

hhmm....your sprayer must have a mansion. I was quoted $450 top and bottom - and Carbon fibre bonnet for $1500...Green-Ghost was talking about looking good, in that case, I'd save the $1050 and go get some neons, and maybe fit a PS2 into the car ...

never understood the flashing club and show car boys.

its just like body kits, people put them on for looks, i doubt very much there are many of you that have put a body kit on ur street driven line to improve aerodynamics or lighten ur car, a carbon bonnet is next on my list. but the one with fiberglass underneath, 3 k is a bit pricey.

i'm in the process of getting one for my hr33, it is the fibreglass/carbon fibre reverse vent, i'm also after boot and wing, it is just for looks not weight saving, ..if you have the cash then do it.......BUT!, i hear the stuff is illegal, they don't have crumple zones, i need to check up on this thou.

    • Resizing injectors in Nistune can be done a couple of ways, and there are a couple of ways that you can make a mess of it. The tuner needs to be really aware of the effects of whichever approach he uses (either K, or TIM). They are both easy enough to "get the injector size right" to run the engine. But little details like old start enrichment and hot start are affected differently, depending on which boxes you check.
    • Pretty safe to say almost everyone that has tuned their own car has experienced this issue. The difference being that we have our laptop in the car and when it happens, it's literally 10 seconds of tuning to sort it.  Would you be happy to plug in your laptop and sort this yourself? It is a very simple process and there is no risk of harming your engine (if you are worried about that). 
    • Yeah thats the next step now, either they wil or i will take out for a drive to work and go straight their after work and see is we get the same issues 🤞  thought i try my luck here too, never know someone else might have had the same issue but thanks for the reply 
    • Basically your tuner needs to drive it for the 30 min (or whatever) to create the same conditions then check the ECU settings and sensors at that time. They may not be excited to because that takes them 30 min rather than just opening the bonnet and seeing the problem straight away.... Hot start is generally not as tricky as cold start, but there would be a table for fuel enrichment vs coolant temp as a starting point
    • Yeah, they all cant say anything for sure as everything is working fine . Said unable to find an issue untill it stops again. Could mist likely be CAS wiring or IAS valve issue but again not 100%
