1g bumpless hood

[yeti-gvr4]

Is there any other hood from another car that would fit onto a 1g 92 gst my girl wants a hood without a bump and hers is thrashed so were lookin for one anyways.

Just a thought.

 

[DROPthatCLUTCH]

Pretty sure the bump is there because of the the timing belt cover.

But don't de-bump your hood man.

How would you feel if someone took your balls and gave you a vagina?
NOT VERY GOOD!

What engine does she have?

You can install the hood from a 1990 1g 1.8... some came with bump-less hood

Or

Carbon fiber hood...

If it's a 4g63 or 4g63t motor you have to have the bump to make room for the cam gears.

Leave the bump.....its what defines a DSM.

90-91 1.8's came with a "bumpless" hood. There isn't a stock "bumpless" one for a 1gb or any 4g63 model 1g.

I don't think I'm wrong but the bump isn't for clearing the timing belt cover, it's for looks only.

You're wrong.

 

[phunny]

You're wrong.

Wouldn't be the first time, but if you look at the CF hoods you'll see that a lot of them are lower than the "bump."

 

[yeti-gvr4]

I don't believe it won't clear cam gears. Without bump

I'll be looking for a 1.8 hood for now thanks.

And its a gst so 4g63t

It won't work. It won't clear the cam gears and they never made one for a 92-94 dsm anyway.

Calm down there guy..I would just get another stock hood unless it's just paint issues, then just sand it down and respray it..But carbon fiber hoods are always a great way to go..It's just pricey..

Try taping a piece of aluminum foil to the bottom side of the hood under the hump. Keep tension on it so it stays flat and doesn't just get pushed up into the hump. Then close the hood and see if the foil rips. I will put money on the fact that it will.

The entire carbon hood is raised slightly in order for adequate clearance instead of adding the bump.

I'll be looking for a 1.8 hood for now thanks.

- Good luck getting a 90-91 hood to fit a 92-94 car without welding something in place of the flip-up headlight holes.

- Good luck getting a bumpless SOHC 1.8 hood to close over a DOHC 2.0 valve cover.

Nobody gives a shit.

That pointless statement proves just how far of an off-topic bitchfest this thread has become on one of the oldest topics of discussion out there. It's headed to the Graveyard for all of the reasons outlined here....but feel free to start another thread with pics of a bumpless 1GA hood installed on your 1GB car.

I'd take that bet if you're honest about it. Also pics of it didn't happen.
