Yeah you'd definitely win races with a VTEC sticker! Everyone would be way too scared to race you.

But neons are definitely a lot more intimidating than stickers. I'd recommend a set of red ones.

VTAKYO · 6th May 2006, 12:21 PM

Loose the bonnet so everyone can jizz over your mad poddy and intake man. It'll make racers scared of you, act as an insane weight reduction technique (and air scoop), and pull chicks for sure. Post up some pics :thumbsup:.

And yea, UnitedWeFall is right, put some neons in the engine bay as well.

I put cheap neons on for a day as a joke.

And I put a factory DOHC VTEC sticker on the back windscreen. So small you can't even see it from a distance.

Lol @ you. How was your kabab by the way?

Again, that's an illegal modification. The theory is if you hit a pedestrian they can fall on your engine and get evern more f'd up than they already would be after being hit by your car in the first place. Stupid but true. Also, the disturbance to the airflow would more than offset any minor gains you'd make from removing your bonnet.

Seriously, weight loss in a car isn't just a simple "remove 20kg and it'll have teh m4d VTEX au" solution. While every little bit helps, you need to remove a LOT of weight to make a significant gain in performance. last time I raced at Masterton I ran a 14.2 with no seats except my own. I then put the front passenger seat back in (maybe 12-15kg) and ran a 13.9. I'm sure with the full interior I'd still run 13.9 or better.

As well as your air-con, you could also lose your sunroof, electric mirrors, stereo, spare wheel etc, and if you can lose 100kg or so from the car you'll really notice the difference. Generally changing the bonnet from stock to CF will make 2/3 of f-all difference to your times.

Slydesigns · 8th May 2006, 07:20 AM

ok team... obviously some of us still haven't caught on... It would appear, if you read back over CWS's posts... hes just taking the piss and isn't asking a serious question or remotely interested in a serious answer.

this one is more a LOL than a Tech Help.

If you lived in Dunedin, with winter coming... would YOU seriously consider removing a bonnet/hood from your car?? I would pay to see the damage from one night of "Below freezing" temps. Also... would you feel safe parking it anywhere, even for 5 mins while you grab a fat greazy goat entrail pie from the Quickie Mart? The kids would be like seagulls stripping off pipes and switching the HT leads around in no time.
Atleast thats what I would have done back then...

OMFG! I was kidding about the bonnet... if you haven't realised, this is a massive pisstake!

grippy grip monster · 8th May 2006, 12:17 PM

prelude-CWS2 = OWNED!

If you haven't figured out by now that we are taking the piss out of yah then you probably are dumb enough to drive round with no bonnet on.

In hindsite I can't belive I actually tried to give good advice in this thread.

Moving on.

cold air intake= :thumbsup:
vtec controller = :thumbsdown: stock rpm is fine for astock cams
chips = :thumbsdown: waste of money
exhuast = :thumbsup: and i dont mean just a big bore
carbon fibre bonnent on prelude, yes wil make u lighter but value for money... dont think so
taking aircon out = good if u dont mind hot days
taking bonnent off = :thumbsdown:
searching before posting = :thumbsup:

prelude-CWS2 · 9th May 2006, 01:15 PM

yea ok,i said removing bonnet would be unpracticle, and you made it out as if i said im ripping into it! and it doesnt get below freezing level in a garage! positive comments were apreciated,saves me wasting money on carbon fibre and gave me new ideas, negatives were nothing more than giving me something to read when im bored, hardly offensive! id give them a pg13

SOHC_MY_DOHC · 9th May 2006, 01:29 PM

Get a external for your vtec, pretty easy to install, upgrade the radiator bearing while your at it, trust me these mods will get you an extra 10 kw at the wheels

Green Machine · 9th May 2006, 01:41 PM

Removal of clear coat will decrease weight dramatically and while your at it you might aswell remove the paint as all that does is adds weight. You will be able to notice the increase in speed due to weight reduction but the car
may not handle aswell in reverse. So be warned.
