Ok, I'm looking to see if ANYONE here may have a connection that I can borrow to acquire some FQ parts? Specifically the Hood. I don't want to get all of the pieces at once and would like to have the full kit eventually, but need to piece meal it more as a project. Any help would be appreciated.

PS, I know there are some CF hoods out there that are similar, but I am not really interested in a CF hood at this time. Thanks in advance.

Get the cf hood and paint it.

 

It's pretty much impossible to find a fq-400 hook up and the prices are ridiculous if you could. Your best bet if you want the look is to go replica.

Talk to NEIL at Cobb or Kevin Heist at Trade Secret. Both are from England and have friends/contacts there. Those parts are available at local Mitsu dealerships.

 

Thanks guys, I am heading to Cobb this AM for the whiffs car so I will ask for Neil when I get there.

 

Did you ever find out what was wrong with her car?

 

Ya, three of the lugs were loose and the freaking wheel started to wobble. Was def. a close call.

 

That'll do it. Invest in a good torque wrench and always set to spec!

 

Bought one as soon as we got home that day. 85flbs is what I was told for the lugs.

 

Wow 3?! Dang good thing you fixed that before they wheel fell off while driving.

 

85 is just a touch high.
Going beyond the rated torque spec can potentially fatigue and weaken the stud over time.
