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 question mode on:
What happens to the sponge kinda air filters/induction kits if the rain can run in the holes & on them bad boys & others bits for that matter? :confused:

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...

The vent in mine doesn\'t seem to let much crap fall in and it\'s generally pretty clean under there.  Will take piccies this weekend and post for you Si.

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!
