[urq] spQ hood

[James M. Mazillo]

Steve, 

I am very interested in getting an order in for the carbon spQ style
hood for the 4k. 

Let me know the ordering process, and if shipping could be calculated.

Thanks

Subject: [urq] Interest in larger ur quattro intercoolers and carbon
fiber "Sport" type hoods?

 

Apikol engineering is looking at producing larger than stock replacement
intercoolers for ur quattros that have the alternators relocated to the
driver's side. These intercoolers would have cast end tanks, Bell
Engineering bar and plate cores, and would mount in the stock location
with stock plumbing, albeit thicker and longer (take up the space
vacated by the alternator). The idea is to have a bolt-on solution with
maximum performance. Target price would be sub $1k. An alternator
relocation kit may also be offered. We need a minumum of 10 or so to
make it worthwhile to have molds made for the endtanks. Email me or
brendan at apikol.com for more info.

Next, US made carbon fiber Sport-type hoods. Yes, these are really
happening. The "model" fiberglass SGI hood has been fit and finished
(over $1400 in bodywork to make it right - this included separating the
inner and outer skins, etc.), and the manufacturer has been chosen. I
say Sport-type because these are shorter than real Sport hoods to match
the front ends of normal type 85 cars. Otherwise, they look identical to
the Sport hoods. The hoods will be made of real prepreg carbon fiber in
an autoclave by a facility that makes NHRA, Cascar and Nascar bodywork.
The hood is a bolt-on on 4k/qs, CGTs and ur quattros with the stock
latches, but the airbox will likely need to be modified slightly on CIS
cars due to interference with the vents on the right side. This design
incorporates the "cowl induction" features of the real Sport Quattro,
but a Sport Quattro airbox (or equivilent) would have to be 

used to take advantage of it. It looks like production will happen in 

January. There will be two options only, a standard coating for hoods
that will be painted, and UV clear coat if the hood will be left bare. 

Price will be $999 for the standard hood, or $1099 for UV clear plus
shipping from IL. If you are seriously interested, email me and I will
send contact info for the shop that is having the hoods produced.

Steve
