Extractor Hood & 3" Exhaust Whoring
 

Thanks to Scott and Brian for rigging up this deal, but I picked up my primed and ready for paint Erebuni hood this weekend from VA beach. Pending fitment, 150 dollar extractor hood ftw.

sweet! but where are the pics of your 3" turbo back?!

150? anymore?

no shit... that's cheap!

Pretty awesome deal, those hoods look awesome installed.

It'll fit, you just gonna need to trim it a bit though...and forget the grill in there as well, it'll grind down your valve cover

haha yeah like dan's.... hood doesn't actually fit the front of the motor.

it actually fits now without trimming needed after he installed his MMR mounts.

really? well im Dan too but i assume you are not talking about me
i do need to get some of those MMR mounts though, mine are starting to go out
I have about 1-2mm of clearance now, does the other dan have a 1.8 or 1.6, i think it makes a difference

Dan has a 1.6

What a deal! Where did you get that?

Hope it works better for you, than it would have for me. Nice to meet you Brad.

I'd like to see some pictures (detailed) once it's installed.

fourhwhls, needs pics of your garage asap!

It's just a little shack in the back yard.

...I'll see if I can find some.

shacks in back yards make for great keggers, i hope its as good for a garage

Hah he's being a bit modest. He has quite the little setup there in his backyard and it caught me completely off guard.

oh no. Brad's 3" exhaust FTW!

Loki, hood was a local sale :rofl:

That muffler is huge, does it bang against that cross member at all?

same size as mine, only angled. Pic doesn't show the clearances very well, a lot more room than mine actually.

Actually the exhaust does not rattle even the tiniest bit. The shop that did it (Whitey's Automotive) in Chantilly, did a fantastic job. They took off and milled my 3" DP Flange, added a flex section, added a transmission brace, heated the tranny tunnel are and added more clearance, and basically did one fantastic job. I'm taking my car back tomorrow morning since he offered to remove the seized axle problem and do the torsen swap while its up for VERY cheap.

That should be a nice hood. Erebuni should have put the vent 1" further forward so there wouldn't be any fitment issues with 1.8 car. I guess their test car was 1.6 and they didn't think it through.

You're going to need a radiator top plate, if you don't have one yet. Othewise, the extraction vents just further aid the airflow through the mouth and up the radiator support, so you'll actually get even less engine cooling. Ask me how I know :)

He's got the BEGi one.

Luckily I picked up one of the BEGI ones a bit ago and he tossed in the "embossed looking" sticker. Never regretted it, but definitely will never be as shiny as it used to be :(

gracias :crx: i want one

neat, looks like your plate fits well. the only 1.6 BEGi plate I've seen in person was a HORRIBLE fit, not even close. So I never ordered one from them.

The fit was fantastic.. the mounting hardware they provided was awful. I ultimately had to end up using self tapping screws to hold it down.

I don't have any good shots of my garage here at work, but here are a couple I found. They're not the best, but I think you get the picture.

I like your "shack." :)

yeah, some shack

Look at the extra weight hanging above that muffler. Get rid of the unused heat shield.

Weight = HP

I think Erebuni was the one, but some company was selling off all of their hoods because they were closing down. They were selling them dirt cheap. I called, but all the Miata ones were gone:td:

tow hooks-bye bye

his speakers look like they might be from the 'Shack.... ;)
