hey thanks again timmy for pointing me in his direction are happy with the result for the price.

[ed xr6]

love the bonnet steveurban

[slo_sprint]

Looks good dude, i ordered a camaro reverse cowel bonnet for the xr8 today and i hadn't seen this thread yet.

Makes me a little more confident

[SLY5LT]

the only thing with the camaro one is that it the ridge down the middle of it... that my car has no similar line's that it blend's in with, which is why i was going the A9X route
the first A9X that i got was of ebay & to short! even for my RX7
the second was a bad mould ,so just got one from him & his is a longer version of the A9X....you can't see the ridge in the pic (the longer of the two) but you get the idea thats why the holden guy's go that way because of there line's
at the end of the day you have to be happy with it...some people don't like mine, but it's the look i was going for.
good luck with yours

[slo_sprint]

Thanks mate, yeah its got the ridge which i'm still not sure about but we'll see what happens.

I need the clearance and this is the best way to go about it, lets hope the 5" one is enough eh

[SLY5LT]

the one i got fitted sit's about 65-70mm higher than the bonnet, have had the fuzz look at me... but are yet to be pulled over for anything the only comment i've got was going through a booze bus & the cop said "looks nice & clean"

[slo_sprint]

Ah yeh so thats the 3" one, i was thinking of one of them but i have a fairly tall manifold with the throttle body 1" nitrous plate and about 6" worth of air cleaner to consider.

I worked out only about 4" of which should stick through the bonnet.........I hope

so it's a daily driver like my car?
what motor ya running? & in what?

anyway "EF ECTIV" you looking at getting it done? even as it is have noticed a drop in running temp.

[slo_sprint]

nah it gave up its daily driving duties a long time ago.

The motor is an AFR 165 headed 302 windsor but im using a modified parker funnelweb carb manifold with a 4 barrel throttle body instead hence the need for clearance. Its just in an ED XR8 Sprint.

Saw a 180SX on a cruise on the weekend with a BA bonnet bulge. Looked awesome.

Its prob gonna be put on the backburner for a while, Ive got more important shit to spend
my dosh on.... Like the XP... Im not completely sold on the idea anyway... Your's does look
awesome though...

[SLY5LT]

ok ... grill is back on (new mod'd one to come in the new year) at this stage it's "good from far-but far from good"
spoke to ronny today about the paint (that's another story) he won't be able to fix it till febuary

[Phillis]

that looks fucking incredible. the end.

[EFFalcon]

yep...big fan.

i'd have that over a BA bulge any day.

[t1MMy]

That look awesome!!

What's wrong with the paint??

[Ef_frmnt]

fbt grille and BA ghia badge to make the front not look so cluttered and that would be absolutley perfect. it looks shit hot as it is

[Commando]

Looks unreal.

long story, a bit short of time so you look at that link to the fordmod thread or ask "PHATEL" as per the reply to his pm.

at this stage yes, looking at getting some base time's for the car with the stock engine in it before i get a new one to compare gains.


hope to borrow another bonnet after xmas so i can drop it off to ronny & let him fix it with no excuse's

thanks for the feedback guy's, i don't think it'll be to long before more of these are on the e-series...as have had alot of people ask about it.

[t1MMy]

Hmmm sounds like Ronny has done the dodgy. I'll go round there and give him some greif haha

thanks but no need went back today again to show him a couple of things....he was in a better mood & as per last post i'll source another bonnet to get by for a week or two & give him mine back to fix his wrong.

at the end of the day it's his name on the work that's been done, we all have bad day's(or 3 )....it can give or take work away from his shop! i think he knows that now as has been a couple of people ask him about that style of scoop.

a couple of pic's 21/12/08.

[SLY5LT]

just an update.....got the hood back on friday,
a big thanks to brenton (phoenix) for the loan of his bonnet for a week & a half off the bat is alot better finish than the first time (will wait a week or two for final verdict) as he knew i would look at everything!
he wanted to shorten the scoop but i told him "not an option"... so i said to do a "notch" like the camaro scoop! which i hope will remedy the problem i had before with the back of the scoop tareing away, a support in the middle of the back of the scoop was also fitted.
a couple of pic's of the hood......version two.

[EFFalcon]
