Nice car, I think if it were lowered it would finish it right off.

How are you finding the cop attention with the boot lid? I almost bought one, but was told if I were rear ended the other person’s insurance won’t cover the damage due to the carbon parts not meeting ADR’s..

Meets ADRs:confused: Possible, but the bootlid would absorb kack sh1t energy. Its the bumper bar and its mounting to the chassis that surely absorbs/transfers the energy, or maybe not?!?!? I suppose it is a big picture thing, and it could play a part, but straight off the bat doesnt sound right.

Still want to know where to get one from, id like one provided they aint to exxy:)

How much lighter does this boot weigh compared to the factory one?

I am sure it would be the rear bar and its reinforcement that would have to comply with ADR's, as they would generally be the first point of contact in the event of an accident.

Roy and NXTIME, you are both right in what your saying. I’m speaking from my findings. NRMA almost didn’t cover my stock GTR bonnet.. As it wasn’t a factory item (was on a Gtst) when some clown backed into it at Safeway. Their argument was it didn’t meet ADR blah blah blah, after a quick call from the lawyer all was fixed, seeing it was a stock factory bonnet after all.

I would check with your insurance to be on the safe side, for example Shannon’s won’t let me run a carbon bonnet and engine hatch cover on the Porsche due to what I said in my first post.

Hey thanks for commetns...

FIrst up with engine bay water question.. the only time this thing would get water in the bay when driving would be at lights or parked.. driving aint a prob the water wouldnt get in.. dont relaly know if its that bad if it did??

WEll bootlid is a heap lighter.. took original off and put this one on.. next morning released boot down main st and bang lock in the other way adn bent hte spring came up that quick.. had to drive 15km home with the lid up.. got home and took a spring out now works good..

i say about 2-3kg instead of liek 8-10 with the spooiler..

    • List all of your mods. It sounds like an aftermarket ECU hitting rev limiter. Like a valet mode, or a cold rpm limiter? 
    • @Kapr Haha yeah thats the one. I missed that you had a built up engine, I wouldn't want to run it on there either then. It was good in my situation just to replace the original turbo on a stock engine. @MBS206Yep definitely not a replacement for anything name brand
    • You are selling this? I have never bought something from marketplace...i dont know if i trust that enough. And the price is little bit "too" good...

    • It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about. Reliability of everything in a 34 drops MASSIVELY above the 300kw mark. Keeping everything going great at beyond that value will cost ten times the $. Clutches become shit, gearboxes (and engines/bottom ends) become consumable, traction becomes crap. The good news is looking legalish/actually being legal is slighly under the 300kw mark. I would make the assumption you want to ditch the stock plenum too and want to go a front facing unit of some description due to the cross flow. Do the bends on a return flow hurt? Not really. A couple of bends do make a difference but not nearly as much in a forced induction situation. Add 1psi of boost to overcome it. Nobody has ever gone and done a track session monitoring IAT then done a different session on a different intercooler and monitored IAT to see the difference here. All of the benefits here are likely in the "My engine is a forged consumable that I drive once a year because it needs a rebuild every year which takes 9 months of the year to complete" territory. It would be well worth deciding where you want to go and what you care about with this car.
