Topic #65878 39 posts Started by yellowchinaman
Got a couple questions for you if you dont mind chinaman....

Firstly, man this is a good deal, but i wont have the money in time to make this group buy...oh wells...

Anywho, is there any weight savings to be made with this hood when compared to the stock one, or is it just for looks...
Secondly, i tried to navigate this site here http://www.rt-performance.com/ as i think its the one you mentioned before, but it wasnt working for me, so now i ask you this...
Is there anyway you can sell these hoods to people after this group buy, on a person by person basis? Or will the site above be the place for future orders?

Oh and would you ship to APO/FPO address? If you could that would be awesome ^_^

We weighed this up in the GT4OC quite a while back and I think the stock hood was actually a bit heavier then that. I 11.5 I believe and my ones where 3kg lighter.
However compared to the stock ST202 hoods its a holl of a lot of difference because the stock ST202 hood isn't alu and weightsabout half an elephant.


Now your questions:
You know you have a few months to save up dont you because I dont ask for payment till I recieve the hoods?
Yes this does save weight and its for looks too.
As for our website it's still underconstructions so you wont find much there.
In future when we do launch our website you will be able to buy our products and this hood however we will be retailing them for £450 not at this special price. However we will be offering discounts to forums on group buys but the offer will vary depending on time of order, amount and currency and exchange rate.
I've just finished a very good group buy over at the celica club for raised scoops for the gen 7 celica's and everyone is very happy with the discount and quality saved.
If you can I'd suggest putting your name down today as the offer ends tonight and I'll be placing my orders tomorrow morning.
HTH.

Only the ST205, I know

So the aluminum hood which it formerly was OEM should weigh 10kg
Now you get only steel hood and they are harder

Sorry I didn't understand your wording.

The OEM hood on the ST205 as stock are alu and weights 10kg. Yes that's true.
Non GT4 celica's have mild steel hoods which are a lot heavier.

I think now you get no more aluminum hood for the ST205, but only steel hood ..... I once said in Austria
I saw there is a cooling panel on your new homepage as well.
Do you have a price for it already? Shipping to Austria.
