Didn't know you had em. Tempted to make them the next purchase & push the build back a little more. Coilovers transformed the car, could only imagine those sways..

 

They transformed the car and I am only on springs. I bet with coils they would be amazing. One of the problems is they don't make sets of them very often.





The rear one was easy to do cause I did it when I installed my exhaust. You do have to at least drop the mufflers down to do it if you are not doing exhaust at the same time from what I had read. The front one is a much bigger pain from what the shop told me. Had them install it when I had my front upper and lower control arm bushings installed. They said they had to drop the subframe a bit to get it in. Believe they just loosened the bolts enough to lower it about 1in though.

 

Fuck, those look fantastic...

Read on FB a couple weeks ago that weaponX has 1 set available at the moment..

 

Welp there goes your wallet. Grab them quick and push off the power again

 

 

how much for v lid? maybe can help fund suspension parts....

 

Shit.. fiddee bucks if you lucky

 

 

I don't have a horse in this race anymore.
Well, I don't have 556 horses in this race anymore.

 

$1100 shipped..


Want the brick as well or just the lid?

 

brick and lid... might do an LSA project on another car...

so thirty four fifty...

 

$400 shipped?

What's the project?

 

If you could fit an LSA swap in your other project car

 

no my project, my friends project...

 

I am just being VERY diligent on the info I can source in this thread and what I have read on other Forums.

Like to be informed.....just in case.

Like what I am seeing here though, I do keep a look out anytime I am in the Oakville/Burlington area, on the off chance I see the 'Black Mamba' blow by.

 

Hard to blow by anything on the QEW through the Oakville/Burlington stretch, traffic is a joke but I do take full advantage of any gap I can find..

Aside from gas mileage, these things are as bulletproof as it gets, especially considering the power they put down stock. There are horror stories of guys getting the dreaded low oil pressure symptom but that's more on modded examples than anything.

 

I know, QEW traffic is bad at the best of times.

Early weekend mornings or late evenings are usually pretty good.....which is helpful for a blacked out rocket.

Wife already gave the okay for a purchase, I just have to get rid of the other project/parts.

I figure with that, I am good as gold to pull the trigger when the time is right!

 

I'm on the QEW by 430am.......

Wife's down with it? Thats half the battle, let's do this...

 

 

another V brother...

 

You're on there WAY before me! Must be fantastic to drive on that at that time of day with three lanes open for shenanigans!

I know, was pleasantly surprised she agreed to it.

Hoping so, just have to find one that ticks all the boxes.

 

 

there are a few good ones priced on the fb group... you might want to check it out...

 

So there are zero available now right?

 

Haven't reached out yet to confirm. With my luck, it's still available...

What are you looking for? Sedan I'm assuming? Auto or 6MT? Recaro's? Low mileage?

Just say the word and I'll find it..

 

Good to know, thanks for the heads up.

Don't mean to clutter up your thread with my nonsense. Will shoot you a pm.

 

Holy crap I totally forgot about this thread. I’ve been MIA for a while but I found a weaponx full carbon fiber hood for sale locally in my absence.

 

Tits

 

You should reach out and make them no longer available

 

That hood is absolutely beautiful. I really want one but would paint everything but the center of it. Wish I could find one local and save on shipping for sure.

 

shipping directly from weaponx is cheap when they run their sales. theyre actually running one right now for memorial day weekend.

 

Or you can just CF or vinyl wrap the OG center
CF hood isn't a big weight cut, so if it's just the look..

 

the cowl in the middle of the hood is taller, makes it look much more aggressive

 

Looks sick man.

Thanks for the pic, it's on the list...

I actually reached out yesterday &.... they're gone. Definitely need to jump on the next available set.

 

I bought the last one but it didn't fit the S4 the way I expected it to.
I'm shipping it back to them today.

 

 

 

And at least on my TSX when I went to a vented hood I dropped intake temps 15 degrees while in motion and temps while sitting in traffic 5 degrees.

 

it definitely runs cooler with the vents, you can see the heat coming out of the hood when youre sitting at a traffic light or in traffic
