Well I got it to work rite up to 102hp where the grill caved in. Hot glue didn't work shit so what can i do to keep it on? Is there a stronger type of glue? Can epoxy work? Also need to create a better way to channel the air to the filter.

here's how it looks like before

emoxy is GREAT. Can hold up to 3000psi or pressure or something crazy close to it. Just get the not so quick drying one and mix up enough to hold it on. The quick dry one I dont think you will have enough time to set the whole thing.

Epoxy, or thick CA glue. USA Gold is the best. You can get the good epoxy, and Ca glues from any good hobby shop, and they will probably know which compound you need too. 8)

Plastic Weld.

It's a 2 part epoxy designed to "weld" plastic to steel. Just make sure the surface areas are clean and sanded first.

Costs like 5 bucks

Hi, I just bought a 87 200sx V6, paid $800 for it and it runs like a top. What I wondering, is where can you find that scoop. I've seen them on other 200sx around the net... But I haven't been able to find any sites for hoods. Any help would be cool.

that hood scoop is quite rare, and whenever one pops up it's snatched up immediately. Better get in line ;).
