New Year 2023

Happy new year guys! 

Well, since my racecraft carbon fiber hood condition is quite bad, so I decided to install back my stock hood to my satria. Will send the carbon fiber hood for refurbish when I have the budget. By the way, do you have contacts for shop which can provide carbon fiber refurbish service? if yes do share in the comment section.

            look at that CF hood condition 😅

                   same old brand new you?

Been keeping this stock hood in my store for a out 12 years if I remember correctly 😅 So much different in weight if compare to my carbon fiber hood🤣

On the other hand, not much update on the car but I just changed my car aircond compressor and replace the faulty FICD when i sent the car for engine oil change. Now the car feel much better when idling everytime I turn on the air conditioning. What to do, running with aircond is a must in our climate 😝 

Thank you for reading and see you in the next post!

Racecraft Carbon Fiber Vented Hood

Hi guys!

I am a fan of carbon fiber product. So, last 3 days, i decided to replace my front hood with carbon fiber hood which made by Racecraft. The quality is superb and other than that, i love the design. Pictures below :)

the vents


the ride looks meaner!

Apart from improving the cosmetics look of a car, carbon fiber hood also reduces overall weight of a car. It reduces weight on the front wheels and this can improve balance of the vehicle when driving. It is because the front wheels are the wheels which we steer the car with. It means that when there is heavy load on them, the ability to steer will compromise. Reducing the load on the front wheel will enhance the ability to steer. Cool huh?

Other than that, carbon fiber are actually strong and durable eventhough when you hold it, you will feel or think that this stuff is fragile or not strong, which is not true at all :P
Besides that, carbon fiber can withstands heat better than metals. Since I chose the hood with vents, air flow from outside will help to keep the engine cool. A cooler engine is much more efficient isn’t it?

Regards.

Carbon Fiber Hood

My big brother currently purchased carbon fiber hood taken from Toyota Corolla Levin AE101 halfcut for his beloved ride. Quite amazed because the condition is superb! Other than that, it is lightweight... very light i can say. i can even open his car hood with just one finger =p Some pictures below.
