Will a OBS hood fit IN an OBS?

Ok, random question, but I was wondering if anyone happened to know if it was possible to transport a GC hood in the back of a 96' impreza wagon? I could probably break out the tape measure and figure it out, but it's dark and cold outside....I'm guessing that I'm not lucky enough for it to be possible....

 

honestly, i dont know off hand but you would be amazed at what you can fit in there

 

IIRC, Martin transported a GC hood in his coupe........


those impreza wagons have a rediculously small hatch, but I bet if you could get it through the hatch, it would fit.

 

^That's basically what I was thinkin was if we could get it through the back it'd fit fine. I might just have to take Kalie's off and see if that works...it's only a couple bolts, and I'd rather know now before we drive to Brainard to Pick up a hood from Ryan...

 

^or we can just put the new hood on and strap the old hood to the top of my car:biggrin:

haha

 

make a wing out of it.









jk, why cant you just bolt it to your hood and then take it off when you sell it and drive hoodless home?

 

^or drive hoodless there and put it on when i buy the rs hood?

I dont know if i feel comfortable driving almost 3hrs with out a hood.... :ugh:

 

oh didnt know it was a 3 hour cross MN trip.

do it anyways, if it doesnt rain you should be good

 

just drive normally, dont get pulled over...and if you do, tell them your's was stolen and you are going to go buy another.

 

^this could work.....is it legal to be hoodless?

 

i was told it was when i went hoodless for a day, but others have run hoodless for weeks or even months.

depends on the prick, i mean cop.

 

ive run hoodless countless times in the redneck mobile, no hairyassment

 

^with my luck i will get pulled over and get a tint ticket too

 

if you get pulled over for the hood, do like i said, tell them you are going to get a different one. thats how i got away without more issues

 

Cripes, curly had almost another whole car inside if his OBS.

 

this, i know for a fact you can fit a full suspension, corbeau seat, tranny, rear diff, rain gaurds, exhaust, and a crap load of other parts in there all at the same time

 

and that! :biggrin:

 

I drove around for a couple days without a hood here in town. I wouldn't worry about it out in the sticks. And like curly said, tell them you're going to buy a new one. it won't even be a lie.

 

actaully I can't believe I didn't think of this. It's perfectly legal to not have a hood...I remember WRXJoe coming back from north dakota or something when he sold his carbon fiber. I doubt we'd get pulled over, and she needs to practice the habit of rolling down the windows when ever she sees a statie anyway

 

I tried fitting the GC hood into my car. I managed to get it in one door and out the other somehow. there was not quite enough room to get the doors closed or the seats up. If you have an OBS it might work out better. you have alot of extra playing room. I bet it will fit int he hatch area, it probably wont fit into the smaller doors though. If you had a legacy wagon it would fit no problem.

FYI: I saw a picture on RS25 of a guy that fit a CF GC hood into his GC coupe. I know it *can* be done I am just not sure how. They guy that posted the pics didnt even know how he made it fit.

EDIT:

Just checked on RS25. the verdict is that you can fit a GC hood in the trunk of a GC if you remove the back seat. Its tight but doable.
