Just wondered what the different bonnets available were called...
Am i correct in thinking the scoot type is the one with an opening at the front & then 6 or so nicely arked holed panning out further back?
I do particularly like the look of this kind although i\'m not so sure about the carbon thing on a black car what\'s the general name of these styled ones?
Cheers

Stout (http://www.stout.jp/photo/index.html) the makers of my bonnet do one like that for the FD, with an intake hole too which is a bonus! :D

Go careful with bonnets mate; seen loads of (fake) vented bonnets at Geff\'s and no lie 95% look awful, both quality and fit :( Just ruins the front of the car IMO...

If you are thinking of gettting a carbon bonnet, go talk to dragon (Ross) He has a few on his web site. Also if you want to see a carbon bonnet on a black car buy Japanease performance this month to see Miguels absulutly great looking motor.
I think his is the best looking RX7 I\'ve ever seen!

cheers folks i did notice it looked similar to the mazdaspeed ones on takakaira, stupid question time can you apint carbon uns to match bodywork? i guess that almost defies the point in having carbon in the first place but was intreged as mazdaspeed un on taka was blue but described as carbon although i may of missed something again as i said elsewhere my ma did always say i\'d go blind 
Interesting comments about bad fitting mine did have slightly bizarre lines previously along the wing/headlights/bumper but i was never sure which bit this was caused by. I guess if i\'m getting new bumper wing etc anyway bodyshop would be able to ensure it fits well.
I should add that bonnet pictured above is from Dragons site & looks good stuff & well priced so very tempted potentially......
Any cunning plans greatfully recieved mind....:god

Bonnet was on mine when I got it. I think it\'s a copy but is pretty good - you can see the shut lines are nice and even.
The pins are pretty standard and can probably be sourced easily. Mine\'s not carbon so I can\'t comment on how that is for drilling but mine\'s no problem and doesn\'t splinter/chip.
It\'s very light, not sure how it compares to stock but I\'d guess it\'s at least half the weight.
Not sure if he\'s selling but a certain Mr Fish has a nice bonnet sitting in his house at the moment looking lonely...
Will try to take some piccies tyhis weekend but the car needs a good bath and polish after yesterday\'s 360 miles (isn\'t the new B\'ham bypass a nice road?)

A standard bonnet weighs not a lot anyway to be honest. All you really gain is the vents.
Whilst most of them look cool, im convinced some of them cant do airflow much good in reality.

you could try something I see a lot of here.
Bonnet relief by tinsnips!
Never seen it done to an RX7 yet, but Soarers, WRX\'s, Evo\'s, Skylines, Silvias and 180SXs have had this modification done to them in one way or another that I have seen.
Unfortunately, it\'s usually attatched to something that you wouldn\'t want to poke a fight with unless you had something serious to poke back with. Like a Pratt & Whitney...
All the nice pretty bodywork is often seen on nice pretty cars that make lotsa noise and not much else. I\'m in backwater Japan, so folks here don\'t have the cash the big smoke folks do. You either build pretty car or you build a missile. Not much cash for both sadly. :(
Then again, the nicest body work I saw was on an RX7 and it also had nice under car illumination. Orange it was, but it wasn\'t neon...

Stupid answer mode engaged:
They are young, they are crazy and they have new toys.
They also have folks that build 1000hp Skylines/Supras/whatever to look upto as their fellow countrymen!
I could say that the fact they are Japanese explains everything, but it doesn\'t really.
Besides, most of these DIY scoops are to let air out that has run through the intercooler. Not talking a gaping hole, but a kinda squared off U cut, and then it\'s bent to suit.
And yes they rust pretty quick too.
Sorry for the delay, busy uploading my website... ;)

Si,
Not a clue where to get one of those here, takikira have them though (well the piccies), not too expensive.
I need to paint the pins properly some time - primer and lacquer, the hammerite i used wasn\'t dry when I put \'em back on and scratched quite badly.

PS. Was going to wash it before doing the photos but it\'s bloody freezing today and I\'m a wuss!

Hopefully i\'ll find one by next year, the under 25 thing is the main limiting factor for me at the moment.
And it gives me a year to stockpile some other goodies :D
Hopefully i\'ll find one by next year, the under 25 thing is the main limiting factor for me at the moment.
And it gives me a year to stockpile some other goodies :D

I backup what Rich has said about fitment of the PROPER versions, they fit in all the right places. ;)

Si, other than the continuing pointless smiley posts (are you two years old or something????), you would use nice flat bonnet locks, not those crappy (imho) bar locks.

Anywhere that sells bonnet locks will be able to get or should have in stock the flat bonnet locks.

aha found some nice flat locking goodies:
GE66 (http://www.graystonengineering.com/lock%20assembled%20page.htm) & the pack (http://www.graystonengineering.com/bonnet%20lock%20page.htm)
or the GE58 (http://www.graystonengineering.com/accessoriesmenupage.htm) which doiesn\'t appear to lock but is "Traditional type of quick release bonnet" any idea what that means, i guess the 66 is more flush & better but wasn\'t too sure & was a bit worrying where it says "THIS PRODUCT MUST NOT BE USED UNLESS IT IS FITTED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURERS OWN BONNET SAFETY CATCH, THIS ESPECIALLY APPLIES TO CARS WITH FIBRE GLASS BONNETS." sounds a bit less secure from that?
Any thoughts, experiances opinions etc?
Cheers folks
Si
oh both here too & not too expensive... (http://www.ears.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Boot___Bonnet_Springs___Fasteners_87.html)

doubt if they are less secure, think they just mean that they shouldn\'t be used as the dependent force holding the bonnet down.. they are for support rather than to use on thier own..
