The OE rotors rust really easy and all the dust I was experiencing was coming from the vanes.

There are two meets this weekend. Saturday is a rotary meet at Forged Performance. It was a great meet last year. I am busy Saturday so not going. Sunday there is a meet I'm thinking about going. Here is the thread. Interested?

^^^^ do you even have to ask, of course I'm interested, lol. However, either Sat. or Sun. I have to replace the water pump on my mother's car. So, as soon as I'm done with that I can join you guys.

You think you could make it on Sun.?

pdxhak 05-13-2010 11:19 PM

I should be good for Sunday.

Great! We could meet somewhere and go together. Who else is going to the park?

We can meet at Starbucks at 09:30 and then we can meet Aipex8 at the address he posted in the other thread.

any of you guys know where I could buy a hood like this, either/or, the key thing is that it doesn't have to be Carbon Fiber as I'm going to color match it with my car? CF is too damn expansive, plus I don't like to have different color body parts on my car...

pdxhak 05-14-2010 02:04 PM

Need to think about who produces FRP hoods...

BG-8 05-14-2010 02:21 PM

I tried searching everywhere, I called bunch of places... they only have fiberglass in different styles, but this is what I like. YOu might have a better luck though, thanks in advance!

pdxhak 05-14-2010 02:42 PM

Corksport has an AutoExe hood but it is going to be pricey. Most the FRP hoods I know are going to come from Japan. But I asked in a thread so let's see if anyone knows anything.

Here are some pics of a WB 8 with a painted hood to make you drool ;)

That looks SICK............. if its more than the CF I will just buy CF one for 600 and paint it blue

Thanks for helping by the way

pdxhak 05-14-2010 02:50 PM

The AutoExe is $1300 before shipping :) I will let you know if I hear back from anyone.

Anijo 05-14-2010 03:32 PM

Wow, that is a great looking hood... what's the weight like? Seems like a very worthwhile investment for a turbo'ed car if it's not overly heavy.


Side note: Today's weather is AWESOME. I'm going to try really hard to work the rest of the day from outside on a laptop...

I agree, I got to do a bit of driving today. :wiggle:

pdxhak 05-14-2010 04:57 PM

I like this vented hood with scoop. Comes in FRP as well...

Painted in WB to make BG drool some more...

I'll take that, make the deal PDX... I have $300 if it's more you could add the rest, right????? ;) lol


Seriously though, I do like that one... what's the damage? please don't go over my budget

pdxhak 05-14-2010 05:57 PM

The Leg Sport hood is $973 and I'm sure shipping would be more than $300 ;)

faith&firepower 05-14-2010 05:59 PM

I asked corksport about the autoexe hood about a year ago. I cried myself to sleep and masturbated with my tears at the price of that hood....but I still want it.

pdxhak 05-14-2010 06:14 PM

how much was it shipped?

BG-8 05-14-2010 06:21 PM

wow, you are breaking my back man... all that money for little bling bling... I can't do that... I'd rather fabricate something... they sure look good though

I didn't ask. They told me about 1200 last summer for the hood.

faith&firepower 05-14-2010 06:26 PM

On another note, this will be one of my last messages from Iraq. We close my FOB on Sunday and move north to turn over all of our equipment and Strykers.....its been a long year.

Anijo 05-14-2010 08:04 PM

Congrats!

faith&firepower 05-16-2010 03:15 PM

Settled into my new "home" for 3 weeks...damn tents + triple digit temps = a lot of pissed soldiers. Oh and my units reputation has once again gotten the best of us. We are banned from like 5 buildings here because they are afraid that the "infantry guys will destroy it all"....God I hate this place. Now I need to spend $100 on internet for the next 3 weeks.

Easy_E1 05-16-2010 04:23 PM

Well it looks like I might be coming into Seattle on Tuesday. The 18th. I suppose I'll have to stay for a week or two.
Of course as you all know my plans can change over night. :(
