i'd b interesetd in a vented bonnet!!! definitely

was thinking bout this the other day. does anyone manufacture carbon fibre ones aswell?

carbon fibre is highly illegal (well in qld anyway) and trust me, the fibreglass bonnet is light enough.

Heres a pic of mine

Whats the go with getting it moulded?

Yah fair enough.

I just keep thinking what happens if some pisshead jumps in front of your car.. even if it wasn't your fault .. it's going to be your fault with a fibreglass bonnet they got stitched up *shrug* That's why my car = fully engineered :P

Looks mad tho, post up pics when it's painted please. If I have enough cash I might pickup some vents, otherwise I may investigate this chocking up of the bonnet because my bonnet doesn't seem to have any hooks that would lock it in an impact, so I'm assuming chocking it up a little won't hurt *shrug* we'll see :)

Well the cop who defected my car is one hell of a guru, he knows his shit and this is what he told me:

if it was carbon fibre, my car was on a tow truck because carbon fibre bonnets, in front on acceidents, dont disintegrate or bend like metal or fibreglass, they actually break the hinges and go through the a pillar/windscreen due to their strength. Fibreglass on the other hand disintegrates into strands therefore making the impact less than mteal as it cushions the persons fall.

So yeah, he just wants me to get a latch installed and piss off my bonnet pins :rofl:

    • Yes...but look at the numbers. There is a tiny tiny fraction of the number of Joules available, compared to what is used/needed. Just because things are "possible" doesn't make them meaningful.
    • Thanks for taking the time to post that ! If anything changes or happens please do update us. 
    • Somehow Vertimass/Oak Ridge National Labs has figured out a catalyst that can convert ethanol into C9-C10 hydrocarbons in basically a single step without ending up with a bunch of ethylene or similar waste products: https://patents.google.com/patent/WO2023224867A1/en I still don't think anything like this will keep us from needing to transition to EVs regardless along with all kinds of other electrification, but things like this will go a long way towards alleviating the problem of how to electrify things like planes. Renewable diesel is seemingly an easier problem as well, Chevron is already running refineries for the stuff and the primary feedstock is tallow and other waste fats from agriculture.
    • Ok so I have sorted everything with my uniclutch and  i can offer up a bit of feedback and some things that might help others.    I found problems with factory damper line. Weird shit and had trouble with peddle adjustment    I used this https://au.gktech.com/products/r33-gts-t-skyline-braided-clutch-line?_pos=2&_sid=22b01b9b9&_ss=r Also when adjusting peddle leave a bit of play. You can get into a over stroke condition easy.. Make sure you can push the slave forward after adjusting to confirm fluid can return to master then you will need to pump it up heaps…..not sure why but that’s how it is.    last thing the splined adapter is machined perfectly. If your input shaft is old like mine was I would put a bit of valve grinding paste on it and stroke it like a 15 year old. Just to give it a tad more clearance and to better match it to the spline.    reason is on a near flat shift I have had situation where the peddle returns a millisecond after you lift from the clutch. No slip or anything but I reckon this is due to tolerance on the spline being way tighter than stock clutch and binding for a sec. I think this will go away but also my spline was old. Box is old so I guess I should have checked better. It’s a super neat fit.    it feels light as and holds awesome without any noise
