Got myself a Fiber Images OEM style hood... I have to adjust the latch before it's worth taking pics of though. Other than that, I haven't done much to the car... other than breaking 224,000 miles! I have a pic of 222,222.2
No, that won't be going on my car. I'm trading/selling it to a friend. The idiots that made it tapped the wrong holes, so it won't fit without using pins and eliminating the hinges... not what I want. When I buy a CF trunklid again, it will NOT be from Street Concepts!
Yeah, I suppose... Pop the pins, turn the key, and lift that sucker right off! When I had it sitting on the car (with the hinges tied down) it looked damn good. I definitely want another one in the future! I just don't want to deal with pins My friend, on the other hand, isn't opposed to going a bit more stripped down. The additional weight savings of removing those rear springs appeals to him, I believe. I've seen race and show cars with trunk pins, so it's nothing too weird.
Hell, if I eliminated the latch on my hood and just used pins there, it would look perfect as well! I think I know how to fix that though...
Nah, I don't want pins at all... And it's not people popping that I'm scared of It's having the hood meet my windshield at 85mph! I know you know what that's like, Mike! (hell, I'm actually using the latch that I got for you the day that happened!)

yeahhhh.... at least it would only be a fiberglass hood, as mine was a heavy metal stock one
Not yet... That's just one of the best pics of my car
I have a friend that has a full set of damn-near-new 215/45/17 Nankang crappo tires that he's going to sell me for $100. Not great tires, but they'll get the Hanabis back on the road! I just have to meet up with him, which isn't easy (he lives about 2 hours north of me)
i've heard really bad storys about Nankang tires blowing out. if you look really hard you could probably find a set of tires shipped for around $250.
Those rims look real good, too bad they were out of my price range when i was looking for wheels.
Yeah, they're great rims. I needed tires, and I figured I might as well go for some good rims! I've only seen one other CB7 with them so far, and that car was white... so nobody looks like me just yet! Hanabis are still fairly uncommon rims, even though they're advertised in all the major magazines.
As for the Nankangs, I'm not thrilled with the brand either... but I don't have much money to spend these days, and $100 for a set of nearly new 17" tires is unbeatable. You can put rubber on steelies for that price! I have a few connections to get free mounting and balancing as well...
I DO plan on getting some REAL tires, but I may do that on my 15" stock alloys (not sure if I want to do it to the 6 or 7 spokes... I have 2 good sets). Good tires are much cheaper for 15" wheels, and performance can often be better, even with more meat. The 17"s will pretty much just be for show. I'll throw them on when I'm not doing any heavy driving.
