Suicide Hood On Supra
 

Heres a few pics of the mod so far, does anyone know where i can find small enough hinges to actually make it function?, As you can see in the pic I used a Hobby knife to cut the centre piece that runs down the middle. Then on the hood i cut off the two front parts that you screw down to the body, making it easy to screw back onto the body if you dont want it popping out while racing. Then i flattened the line going down the middle of the hood...the next step is to find a hinge/or buy one, but my question is does anyone know where I can find a small enough one that will do the job?..OR anything that I can use as a substitute?

hinge
 

alright mate, i have just what u need a small hinge. I used two on my civic to open the hood sideways which looks sweet. If you want it i will sell it at a good price if you want more than two ill get some for you.

If your interested please reply to me and well discuss payment which can be paypal as its faster. I am also listed on ebay with 100% feedback, p4tchbow is my name.

hmm, im not that comfortable buying things online:( if i can ask where did you get them?

ebay a good deal as well but you use paypal on there as well!

still, im so broke right now, i personally never bought anything online, could you just tell me where you got them?

i just did read my last post at the start ***!!!EBAY!!!***

Do u have any spare xmods parts that you might want to trade for the hinge!

hmm i got three stage 2 motors that i dont use, red, yellow and blue which one do you prefer? (i also have the gears)

I got a few of them spare my self which are now fitted with my turbos u got any thing else. (any evo truck parts or u just gen 1 parts)

i only hav gen 1 parts..:(, i really needc those hinges tho

wud u trade all the motors for the hinge or just the one?

depends, whats the hinge made of?

like all of them its Plastic with a metal rod through the middle!

they work great!

oh ok, how many r u willing to trade for 2 motors?

i only got the one hinge as stated earlier in the thread!

ok actually im gonna need 3, im willin to give 2 motors for 3 hinges, since its just a small piece of plastic..how exactly r we gonna trade?

if you need 3 hinges mate i cant help you unless you buy from ebay there bout £2.00.

i can probably do it with 1, but how are we gonna trade?

send me ur email address and house address in an email, and ill reply with mine at just post the 2 motors and ill post the hinge!

You can find those hinges at your local hobby shop in the airplane accessories rack. I think Dubro makes them. They come in many sizes all the way down to tiny. They are very cheap. Here's a link to the Dubro website.
