Make Hate (~Panda Edition~)

how's the fitment of the cf hatch.....is it a lot lighter than factory ?

this Q has been asked before in other threads, but i can't remember the answer. i think i was one of the questioners and never got a straight answer myself.

and i think you have to de-tune the hatch's lift shocks cuz the light door makes it fly open at high speed, and it would jaw-jack you like a late 80's mike tyson
 
Nice Panda. You need to post up some better pics. Maybe daytime pics. That panda needs better pics.

hahaha, nice....i wondered about the shocks and the weight of the cf hatch.....

(lol2) I had a carbon fiber trunk on my Prelude. I'd have to pull the trunk release with one hand and catch the trunk on the way up before it broke itself. That thing flew up FAST.
 
and to think i was just joking about the de-tuning of the hatch shocks. if that would be a real issue then i guess the yolk's on me
 
Love it! Are those 16" wheels? If so, I would like to know the wheel specs if possible...

I was wondering about the hood/hatch dampeners as well. I am getting a cf hood and wonder if regular MZ3 hood struts will work since valving is lighter??? But maybe measurements will be off b/c our hood sits higher...hmmm
 
got any daytime clear pics?

Here are some with his old wheels on.

They are 17x8.5'' and i am not sure about the offset.

It's a bit "busy" for my personal tastes. I like the idea of CF hood/hatch, but they don't quite work for me. I think if the hood was half painted (from the sides to the crease in the middle) it would look better, but then again to each his own. :)
 
neat little ms3 :)......airforce guys are good for taking pictures i guess ;).......When I was in the army we worked with your ground guys for Combat Air Support missions..4 month deployments in Qatar..thats the life :)

Sweet. Combat air support? I work on A-10's. We support the ground forces when needed. It's an awesome jet.
 
Yep A-10's..fires a 30mm gatling gun if im not mistaken. I was a scout/sniper and one of our jobs is alot of call for fire via air support-forward observer..walking them into targets was alwas fun...sounds like a loong fart when that main gun goes off..Ive rode in the 160th SOAR's blackhawks with the 7.62 minigun..and having spent shell casings kick you in the boots when your legs are hanging out the side doors..but that doesnt compare anything to that big ol 30 mm raining goodtimes on the badguys on the ground ;)
