Haha, to me our hoods are HEAVY. I'm too used to the weight of the RX-7 (FD3S) hood.

May I suggest lubricating the hood hinges. I live in the Boston area and the hinges were binding, making the hood feel heavy. A little lube took care of the problem.

You joking right I own a 93 RX7 R1 (Full race car now)and the hood of my G coupe is about the same weight I change the hood of the RX7 to Carbon Fiber Yes the CF is lighter, but the stock hoods are about the same http://www.cardomain.com/ride/808731/4

The hood is light, but my sisters 07 altima's hood puts ours to shame. The altima's hood is insanely light.

Hell no I'm not joking. The FD's hood is way lighter. I can lift that thing with my tongue.
