Other than that, it loos cool And yes it depends on the car...i think This post has been edited by Demon86Trueno on Sep 1 2004, 01:12 PM |

Darling, won't you ease my worried mind? Group: Advanced Members Posts: 3,173 Member No.: 1,828 Joined: May 12th 2004 Location: The Glorious Democratic People's Republic of CA | when you say pure, do you mean you shouldn't change parts later on? |

>_> Group: Advanced Members Posts: 7,421 Member No.: 1,958 Joined: Jun 4th 2004 Location: California | yea, that's what i mean by pure... and A-tune should have a carbon hood, but the i've tried different hoods on the 86 and felt almost no difference...

>_> Group: Advanced Members Posts: 7,421 Member No.: 1,958 Joined: Jun 4th 2004 Location: California | the tunes won't make a noticable difference in times, just the way the car drives, i remember reading that A-tune is the fastest and most drifty for the 86, so adjust to that style of driving and your times will improve... btw, what's your current time on akina dh? |

We're the People's Front of Judea! Group: Advanced Members Posts: 13,123 Member No.: 1,355 Joined: Feb 28th 2004 Location: Las Vegas, Nevada | They sell those cf light thignys for almost 200 bucks on ebay haha... maybe its less now... Its REALLY a waste of money- The light cover as it is is a THIN THIN THIN piece of metal that just surrounds the lights (i know- ive taken mine off) If i ever get a CF hood for my 86- and ihave the paint job i want ill paint the hood black and the lights black. I dont like the contrast of the hood and the lights (some cars have a good contrast- my buddy case has a black hood on his fc and it looks awesome)...Also unpainted CF looks dumb to me- i hate that "Texture" it has. |

IDW Goldmember Group: Advanced Members Posts: 1,211 Member No.: 2,188 Joined: Jul 3rd 2004 Location: Philippines | In V2 I got the carbon hood accidentally in my R32. I wanted to get the original hood back so when I got it, I went to do an Akagi UH trial and I went faster by 3 seconds! So yeah on some cars it does matter. |
