so ive been lookin for a hood damper and havent been able to find one. is there anyone out there that can help out?
thanks

 

A&J sells a T1R Hood damper

https://www.aj-racing.com/shop/produ...1&cat=0&page=7

 

aj labeled the carry boy one T1R. find carry boy and save $$. i remember the guy doing the GB on them, but never got the p/n.

 

These ARE sold in PAIRS, correct?

All the listing sellers always show just one in their ads!

 

yeah that one is pretty $$$ specially for only one damper i got my one for my hatch for 80 bucks and it was a pair.

anybody out there got one laying around for sale?

 

the carryboy ones were sold as a set. that's why I cant understand how ppl buy ONE from AJ for the price you can get TWO for (if you can find them)

 

you know where i can find a carryboy set??

 

I would like to know also

 

if you have a carbon hood, its better to run only one damper.

 

Not that I have a carbon fiber hood, but why is that?

 

because they are lightweight and the resin will crack under strenuous loads. i only have one damper and i still hold my hood at the hinge and the front when i close it just to be safe. they dont have weight and substantialness of a metal hood.

 

O I c. Makes sense. This is off topic and I feel bad bout thread jacking but I noticed you live in San Francisco, Im going there on 20th-23rd and I was wondering If theres anything interesting I should see while up there.

 

go to infineon raceway in sonoma and give opak racing a visit. you might be able to see the spoon fit + all the other spoon cars. also, check out N1 concepts. they have a new fit project that is INSANE! and they have a few jdm fits they may be willing to part out certain things for you.

 

oh and to the OP. i have a jdm hop "shorty" hood prop for sale if you are interested.

 

Fer sure Ill check those out. I like jdm parts I dont wanna be stuck lookin at the golden gate bridge and all that jazz haha

 

hahaha i had never walked on the golden gate bridge until my friends from london came to visit last year and ive lived here half my life!! haha. i also stay away from embarcadero and the alcatraz cruises because i cant stand the tourists. although getting clam chowder in sourdough bread bowls on embarcadero is awesome.

 

hahaha really? See my dad was up there for a few months for job training awhile back and now he wants to go for vacation. Hes all "theres soo much to do, alcatraz, golden gate bridge, fisherman's wharf" sounds like everything you stay away from lol Im being dragged along on this "family vacation".

 

BACK ON TOPIC*

I have located the hood struts with a distributor in New Zeland. I have contacted them to find out exactly where they are coming from and hopefully will be able to bring them in for a GB

 

Found some DIY hood damper installed photos

 

or if anyone who was lucky enough to get in on the GB, if you could give us compressed measurements AND expanded measurements I am sure we can find a strut in the states. I could have some brackets made for the attachment part of them. God I just want them
