Any word on the ECU I want to buy from you?

 

Mind givin me notice when you get it / install it? I'd like to watch / help (yah, help? right ) .. more like learn.

^_^

 

dude i called ALLL DAY and no one picked up. what a waste of time!!! sup with that? i have to work tomorrow so wont have much time to call all day but ill call a few times..if nobody picks up then i dunno. doesnt seem like he would call back if i left a message cause he not even there all day.

 

Just wait for his call then... save your dimes.

 

Did you leave him a voicemail at least stating that you want to be part of the deal (or an email). I don't know whats up with them hardly every answering the phone (it took me all day to get ahold of them too) but I finally did. As long as you have let them know in voicemail or email that you are in on the deal you should be cool I expect. Try them late afternoon like 3-5pm pacific time. I think I got ahold of him at like 4:15pm pacific time, two calls in a row with no problem.

 

i talked to Mike this morning and placed my order. now do we even know if this deal went through? cause the last guy didnt want to pay up front so dunno if we had 6 people or not...hummmmm

 

You are the 6th person. I don't see any reason why it wouldn't have gone through. I'm assuming it did.

 

FYI - I sent Mike an email this morning.. I'll keep you guys up to date as I get information.

 

i havent heard from Mike since te day i ordered it. I thought i was the 6th person and i asked him he said i was the 5th person...whats going on?

 

Well I hope this gets figured out quick. before you know it something is gonna happen to where we need to use the CF hood money for something else. And then were back to ground 0

 

5? I counted 6...

I have this info...

1. Nealoc187 - #1 ordered
2. Chunger - #3 ordered
3. Cumalot - #5 ordered
4. maximadan96 - #2 ordered
5. sleeper - out
6. Uncle Max - #4 ordered
7. Turbo95Max - #6 (waiting on Mike to call)
8. maxed up - out

I'm sure about pretty about this... correct me if i'm wrong.

 

I'm interested. I'm sorry, but I didn't have time to read 9 pages so I appologize if these questions have been asked/answered already. Before ordering I need to know some more info. I am ONLY interested in this hood for the weight savings.

What exactly does the stock hood weigh and what does the CF hood weigh?

Is it paintable?

Can we still use the stock shocks?

Is it a 1000% PERFECT fit? Matches up to the fenders perfectly?

Are they still available without windshield squirter holes pre-drilled?

Thanks guys.

 

According the Chestons site (www.maximadriver.com) it weighs 13lbs (less than half the original which I don't know)

It's like fiberglass and I am planning to paint it to match me beige color.

Can't use stock hood struts.

After seeing Carnal_30's car... it looks like a perfect fit (after adjusting the latch to take out some slack)

They don't come drilled out for the washer squirters.

Contact Mike at www.motivational.net to see if you can get yourself in if he hasn't placed our order yet... now!

 

Yeah, I read that too. I beleive the 13 lb but I can't beleive our stock hoods only weigh 26lb. So I need to know the exact weight of the stock hood before buying. Like I said, I am only doing this for the weight savings (and to shave the windsheild squirters). Now's a great time as I plan to get some paint work done soon. But $500 is a lot to spend to save 13 lb.

 

Stock is like 62 or 63 lbs, not 26. Good luck getting in on this.

 

Sweet, that's more like it. A savings of 50 lb. Thanks Neal.

 

DEAL IS CLOSED!

Mike just emailed me and he has sent the order in...

ptatohed, I hope you got in! Thanks!

 

congrats on closing the gd

 

Awesome. Can't wait. Ptatohed did you get in on it?

 

cool, i did talk to Mike last friday and ordered the hood. i forgot to ask but we wont have washer nozzles rite? can i drill them myself>?

 

You should be able to... with precautions. Check Cheston's site... I think you need to wear a mask to keep from breathing in the fibers but it shouldn't be difficult..

I gonna look into getting the nozzles that mount under the back lip of the hood... Like the 90 integras.

Here's who (first names only) is on the list that ordered the CF hoods:

NEAL
CHUNG
DAN
ALEX
MICHAEL
MATTHEL

 

Chunger, if u find out about those under the hood washer nozzles, plz lemme know

 

its a weight savings of 26 pounds..

the stock hood weighs like 41 pounds..



the CF hood kicks ***. but i HIGHLY recommend it being CLEAR COATED!!!!

 

Yikes. 26 lbs. I was stoked on the 50 lb figure.

Each drop in 100lb is .15s off your 1/4 so that means the hood will give you 0.04 s off. Ouch. I'm a big believer of 'every little bit counts' but that's a lot of dough for 26 lbs. I still have to think about it. Good luck guys.

P.s. Let me know if you figure out the squirter relocation and if you guys can figure out a way to use your oem shock lifts. Thanks.

 

have you sent out the order for the hoods? I not can I get in. How much is it for the hoods for the regular price and if i get in on th egroup deal how much is it in the group deal. I live in South Carolina. So what would shiping and handling be?
One

 

Well I haven't weighed my stock hood but if Cheston says that its only 40-something lbs I'll believe that. I was under the impression it was more. Ptatohed every little bit helps though right? You take out that, plus your front seat and spare and jack and theres a 100lb weight reduction. Plus it has other benefits like handling improvement.

98_Maxima you are too late dude. The order has already been sent in. Try contacting motivational and asking them, but I doubt you can get in since they've already sent in our order.

 

When are they going to charge us just wondering. Once I see the charge I'll now for sure the orders in. Then I can start the countdown.

 

As I understand it we are being charged the day they put the order in, which was a few days ago, so it should already be on our CCs I would think.

 

Woo Hoo I musta been the lucky 4th winner!! I know my card hasn't even been ran cuz my bank will show pending but not from who untill it goes thru. UNLESS it happen over the weekend and I didn't notice it.

Oh well as long as the order is in. So we have a month starting now?

 

good gd closed i want my CF hood lets start to ship them. cant wait to take car out of garge to feel the boost heheheheh.

 

Hi Mike, hopefully you ordered mine also after our telephone conversation.
Let me know please when it's ready to pickup.
Thanks, Henrik (Maxed Up)

 

If you gave him your CC information you were in... if not..then no. I listed who were the 6 people he emailed to me when he order... check that list.

Mike doesn't (at least as far as I know) cruize this forum.

 

dam he said he doesn't know when they will be shipped, mike said around 2-3weeks but he didn't say an exact date. i can wait any long i want my CF hood!!!!

 

Mike doesn't work for Fiber Images, so he has no way to know how many hoods they had to make before they start making the ones for our group deal. They can make 3 hoods in 2 weeks so that gives you some idea of the timeframe it takes to create CF hoods.

 

Are these things safe? In a frontal collision that is. ?

 

yes goto www.fiberimages.com and see the test that they show u how stong the hoods are

 

I just got my baby roughed up a bit and need a new hood. I am definately all about getting this hood, does anyone know what the price diference in price is compared to stock? I'm guessing stock is more because it usually is. I just wnt to get away with letting insurance pay for it.

 

Yeah, I have seen them drop a tire on it and run over it with a car. That doesn't answer my question though. My question was: is it safe in a frontal impact collision?

 

How do we know when our order is being worked on?

 

I definately want in if you can wait till friday to close it out.
Two questions. Do you leave them on in the winter/snow or will it get ****ed up? Has anyone put their washer nozzles on? If no, what did you do just not have them anymore?
