Carbon Fiber Engine Coverxtecnro 06-20-2004, 10:14 PM On Ebay they have Carbon Fiber Engine Covers for the Scion xB. It looks cool buuuut...... Does the original engine cover weight THAT much? And i thought over time, with carbon fiber, it'll start bubbling up? JSVH 06-21-2004, 10:37 AM As with almost all Carbon Fiber it is almost purely for looks. Even a Carbon Fiber hood will only save you 5-10 lbs. If you get it know you are getting it for looks. ;) Red1 06-21-2004, 10:23 PM Hey the hood on my car weighs 50 pounds and the cf is 10. Thats 40 pounds and it makes a difference. Small but still a little difference. grapefury 06-21-2004, 10:51 PM i read somewhere it's every +100 lb = -8 horsepower Piddy 06-21-2004, 11:34 PM Power/weight ratio's make a lot of cars what they are. Like Porsches and such.... but I think CF is just a fad for most people rather than a mod. xtecnro 06-21-2004, 11:47 PM Yea, but it's a pricey fad that may not do much weight reduction wise.....depending on the vehicle, as others have said | |
