Lol vultures, had some blokes pull up in skylines when I crashed it asking for parts the bastards haha. Ok no jacking the thread mine will be up soon hopefully in parts section.
I will come take a look at this if its still around Jordan, mine will be scrapped for parts soon so i may be in the market for a new one. Talked to Char about this already =D
i will come to this as i have friday's off =D, car is not tuned yet still on emission tune so no power.. hence i wont be doing the rac. Just keen on meeting a few of you guys for future events.
sorry Char i just saw your post... im still new to this forum so i dont know how to get around.
thank you for putting this thread up.
Now from my personal experience the engineer wouldn't allow it on my car, the pits wouldn't either even after i blocked off the reverse vents as you suggested. Whether there is legislation that allows it or not, your engineer and vehicle examiner at the time of inspection have the final say.
The only info i got from my engineer was that the fibreglass bonnets must be structurally sound, what this means is that for it to be legal it must meet certain testing criteria, i don't know the exact details of this testing procedure as i didn't bother asking, from my limited knowledge of materials I am assuming it has to do with the bonnets performance under different types of loading, some kind of hardness testing and most importantly yield strength of the bonnet in its final state as this would determine how easily the bonnet would break if it had any kind of impact and whether it would shatter into a million pieces or not. As a result this testing would no doubt be very expensive.
This is why some manufacturers pay big money to have their fibreglass bonnets ADR approved. I wasn't game enough to have mine tested hence i didn't pursue this issue further(just got a gtr bonnet which is alot lighter anyway only dry carbon would be lighter than the aluminium bonnet in my opinion and these would be too expensive to make).
