Funny: Against CF? Discuss.

[505zoom]

I hope I don't get my car back with a swiss cheese hood or something. I like the heat venting, but I don't need any more.

lol.

LOL..
That damn gas door cover..It's like a warm cup of poop in a cold windy day..No matter how you look at it, it's still poop.I say remove it.

I personally got a CF hood because my stock one got ****** up in my wreck, and for less than the cost of replacing it I could get a visual upgrade. I personally love the CF hood, and the only other parts I would consider getting in CF is the rear valance, and thats really iffy. I have the radio side strips in CF too, but that was because I repainted my bezel when I molded in the screen and wanted to cover up the scratched fake CF from the factory.

Before:

After: (ignore the lack of fog lights, and black strips on the windows that werent installed yet).. check out LinuxRacrs mp3 in the back.. lol

i saw this yellow car with really cool graphics you should put them on... see pic

(lol2) im just kidding hah looks good

 

[ELEmental59437]

I didn't read the whole thread, but in your defense Matt, I liked all the CF on your car. It wouldn't look good on my Spicy, but since you got such a good deal on it, I would sport it if I were you too.

 

[Matthew]

^^ saw it all in person, so f u haters lol

I smell a challenge.
I guarentee you if you go to the track with a friend with a similar car and have a 3rd friend add 100 pounds 5 times to each of your cars, but at random so you don't know if its present or not, you will see no definitive difference in 1/4 times between being weighted and unweighted. It would also be interesting to have you guys guess if the weight was present or not.

pretty sure in my post i said "from experience" meaning i know for a fact weight makes a huge difference, for instance when i raced a few friends cars and it was a close race, then i gutted s*** out of the car, wasn't so close anymore!, understand??

 

[mp5jeff]

remember the video of me vs my roomates srt-4? remember it was close races, ya that was with FULL interior, everything, then i removed it all, ac/ps, lightweight rims with the dr's, etc... and i pulled busses on him....that is PROOF enough no?

Single most retarded modification next to APC tail lights. It serves no practicle purpose other then to waste money. I love how people can't wait to buy CHEAPER parts for there car. An OEM hood from mazda that has been professionaly painted will cost almost $1K, yet people can't LOVE to swap it out for a useless piece of s*** carbon fiber hood that doesn't even fit aswell for $500.

Another example of this redicoulus need to upgrade is the people with STi's that swap out the factory equipt $700/apeice forged wheel for some cheap cast 18" junk $300/apeice wheel.

Maybe its just me but I think people should UPGRADE not down grade. Carbon fiber mods would be like me swapping out the factory speakers with the 2" drivers from computer speakers AND ACTUALY PAYING FOR IT!
Why on earth does anyone scrap a perfectly good $1000 hood for a cheap $500 paper weight?

I hate you all.

Carbon fiber = teh gehy

That's why I'm just getting my hood painted, but I guess that nulls the "professional paint". Obviously my hood fits, but it rattles for some reason, so I guess that means it's not perfect.

Adjust the stoppers up so it holds it a little tighter.

Make several runs at a track, then add 100 pound of sand bags, then do a few more runs. Post slips, I am interested to see the results.

All I know is that Jeff's P5 is like 2400lbs & it's hella fast & getting faster all the time.

 

[EvilMSP]

cf, not my thing, don't really care if someone has it either...but imo it should replace stock parts for the weight reduction, and for people saying 100lbs won't make a difference, you must not know much about drag racing because 100lbs makes a BIG difference...i know from experience , every time i took out alot of weight from the car(did it in steps) you could DEFINATELY tell the difference not only in my head but at the track it was proved also, and when someone would ride in my car it felt alot more slugish...which is probably the reason i removed the passenger seat too lol

THANK YOU, glad someone has my back

 

[Matthew]

everyone ragging on my car, feel free to see it on mazdausa.com
