FM Extractor hood has been discontinued
 

I called today because I was searching on their site and saw that it wasn't up anymore. I thought it was a good looking hood, so I wonder why it was discontinued. Oh well.

Thought for some reason you guys would like to know.

i didnt think it ever took off to start?

I like the hood too... Someone should make a replica, if the market demands of course.

Phil has one (levinubhin)

I have one too, but I am seeling it as it will not fit with the LS1. I thought it was pretty popular.

I have to agree with :brain: They did sell a few of the fiberglass versions, but the carbon version FLOPPED...

I haz one. I should get a copy made since I'm going to hack mine up to fit the 99 motor.

For sale here if anyone still wants one:

1994 1.8L Miata Engine and Flyin Miata Exctractor Hood

No affiliation.

Yeah thats mine

IIRC... The vents weren't really placed in an optimal place to extract heat anyways unfortunately.

Apparently the little air foil on the vents works wonders according to levnubbin and keith@FM.

I may want that motor, hmmmmm

you should make a copy of it.....but when you do alter it to fit on LS swapped cars and 99-00 swapped cars!

string test video ASAP!

coming...


next year when I get around to it. All parts must sit in the garage for 2-years prior to installing them.

In for string testing!

I'll go home and stuff my nomex/kevlar banana hammock on the wastegate and see if it gets sucked out the vent.

Post results. Haha!

What is the string test? I can do it.

I love the hood, it works and I think it looks great. You just have to be careful with water getting into the spark plugs. I would imagine the carbon hood didn't sell well because iirc it was like $700 + shipping. Then after paint it's over $1000, not many people have a need for a 1k plus hood.

That shit's not wine...what are you aging it for?

Tape some yarn in the vents and see if they get sucked out or not. Please do this and take a pic of it so I don't have to. PLEASE!!!

Oh, I thought you were supposed to age car parts before you put them on to improve fruit structure and relax tannin.

while driving at various speeds.

at higher speed, nothing under 60MPH. at low speed, it doesn't mean a thing.

my vote is that it doesn't work. show me one race car's extractor hood at same location.

tone down the disrespect.

Some racecars have extractors further back-ish. But they are significantly different in overall shape such that they don’t really have a high pressure base of wind shield like a Miata shape does.

My guess is the FM hood works just not near as effective as some other hoods that have better placed openings.

I will say my modified Arebuni works at vurtually any speed. Looks like Autokonexion may be a close copy and probably much higher quality than mine might even fit without modification like mine required.

Bob

will do, until you sell urs.

What in the world do you need it for? Don't you have a good motor in the daily?

crazy low crompression, lots and lots of detonation, leaks 1qt every 240-miles...its awesome. PM or email pics of your hood and a price, please.

It looks like I'll never get this car painted.

in for "99 to fit V8 knockoff".
