I stepped outside n looked at my celica and an interesting idea ht me. Suicide Hood. As many of u know The st205 hood has a gap on st202s. For some it looks good, for others it doesnt. Ive grown attached to the gap and its forced cooling function. But with all the air being forced in it could potentionally be un safe. With this in mind Im really leaning toward doing a suicide hood. What are your thoughts and opinions on this? Good, bad, or other  -------------------- From Japan to Texas my st202 follows me.
 Being different from every angle of the word, leading the Revolution (TOYOTA NATION) The RHD st202 that made it from Japan check it out. http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=78103 |

Its been done before in a celica from factory. No its not dificult to work on the car. You need a light hood since the supports on the front may not be up to par. If you have gt4 hood modifying the aluminum will be a bithc.

If you PM me and I dont respond, dont fret or cry. Im alive, better post your questions in the thread below, maybe I log back in 2grfe Swapped... Why I chose the 2GR, before you ask read here... A great civilization is not conquered from without until it has destroyed itself from within. @llamaraxing in Instagram is the best way to find me. I hardly log here anymore. |
