some body mod questions


Recommended Posts

1st - how hard is it to find the 83 turbo hood - 2nd - anyone makes repo's of them?

 

also... I doubt this will be fruitful, but are there any body kits out there? probably not...

 

hm - what are you guy's take on cf canards and ground diffusers?

83 hoods are usually out there one or two at a time on ebay or the for sale forum , its just how uch you want to pay. There are replicas out there , dont know if anyone is still making them but there are a few just keep your eyes open. I think there is someone on the group purchase forum in the process of producing CF hood.

As far as body kits go. Nope not really the ones out there are either custom or from som distant land like australia. i am in the process of doing one up will probably get it done as soon as I get my unibody strightened and its warm enough for fiberglass to cure. stay runed.

Like the man said, the 83' hoods are out there and getting a lot of loot on Ebay, best bet is to search one out at a junk yard-they are still out there. As far as body mods go, yeah nada. I think the best mods for our cars are to update them by flushing the door handles-Audi handles would look sweet, clearing the tail lamps, updating all of the lighting and other stuff. There was a modded E30 M3 in PBMW recently where the guy actuallu extended the wheel arches, that would be awsome for our cars...a lot of work though.

a little hard to see but its a decent looking mod and appears to be effective in protecting the airdam.

Splitters and canyards do work, If you do alittle homework on aerodynamics you will know the benifit. I have made a splitter for my quest out of a fiberglass sheet from home depot. sealing up the bottom will help too. most of those mods function best at high speeds.
