    Looking for a Stout hood for an 89 supra.

    wow so no hood struts and it requires hood pins well it looks like RHD Japan is the only retailer and the question is light cf or slightly heavier frp. Does one last longer than the other or does one take paint better?

    Looking for a Stout hood for an 89 supra.

    Yeah that's the one. Now what is the difference between the carbon fibre and the "cheap alternative" FRP besides the almost $300 in savings to go FRP? Anyone have both and can offer an opinion from personal experience? wear, quality, fitment. Any reason that they're saying it's for a 90+...

    Looking for a Stout hood for an 89 supra.

    Aku now you've lost me. You said you didn't purchase one but that your dad received the 2nd one free i guess. You also claimed that the fitment was better than the original which I've had Rodel say is not correct and one of his friends was not good at all. So I'm looking for one that fits and...

    Looking for a Stout hood for an 89 supra.

    Your car looks awesome and I'm glad to hear that you love the hood. Actually what Rodel said was..."The fitment on my replica from nick is imperfect, but reasonable; on the other hand, the fitment on a buddy's car was no good"....which to me means there's a 50/50 chance that it might be somewhat...

    Rodel love your sig...Fortune does most certainly favor the bold brother. So any suggestions. Do you know were I could find an original STOUT hood. I think they look awesome unless you know of a better one?

    Matt that would be illegal and I would never do that. It was inches per minute. :naughty: Well under the legal limit.

    So AKU did you buy one of Nicks knock offs? How does it fit? Any issues or tips as to making it fit better or is it just perfect?

    No worries there brother. I'll paypal him for it as soon as he gets in touch with me with info and a price and some pics. If someone has an original that would be fine too. My MK3 was running great on the 4 hour drive up to Toronto Friday. I was playing with a GTR, Infiniti GX35, and a Porsche...

    I know Nick had some but sold them and then sold his car too. Does anybody know who may be manufacturing them these days or if someone has an original genuine stout hood for sale or even a knock off I guess.

    luv the look of your car. The widebody look would go well with that sexy Regulus rear spoiler.:icon_razz

    emission were you able to snap some pics? I'd love to see them since SAP doesn't have any on their old site and their new site doesn't seem to have Supra items up yet. Thx.

    SPOTTED: Veilside Widebody MK3 in Indianapolis, IN!

    Well it has Indiana plates and is white and no hatch or 1/4 glass so that has to be it...yeah I liked it better without pics too. I like unique but that is extremely different. So it's a hard top with a targa top in the pickup bed ??? Or is it the lid to the trunk where they store groceries &...

    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    South Detroit...Steve Perry coined the nickname in the Journey song Don't Stop Believing by mistake and it stuck.... Even Perry admits to getting choked up over the song, with its powerful chorus. "The lyric is a strong lyric about not giving up, but it's also about being young, it's also...

    Gilsdorf's Long Road to Automotive-Nirvana

    Well I truly enjoyed reading your thread...up until post #83. So what did you do with the Supra? part it out or sell it. Do you still have the GTR or have you found another path to automotive nirvana?

    My Supra vibrates heavily after acceleration.

    Have you got an SP torque converter installed in it? Even if you don't have you checked the torque converter? We have been having major vibration issues and after spend major coin on replacing parts and a tonne more cash on labour to investigate what could be causing it here is what was...
