Made a temporay hood*

[MrwassmanNA2T]

Just something to let a little heat out. May have to cut all the way across, but if i am going to do that, i may as well make a drop vent.

That kinda looks like what Danny88SS did to his Z a LONG time ago. I wish I still knew his website....probably down now :?

hmm, not a bad idea actually, but I think it will actually be venting in cool air while driving and letting heat escape while stopped.

You mentioned temporary hood...what are the long term plans?

a much nicer drop vent

and I take it the interheater issue will be taken care of too?

Now that I think about it... a vertical radiator would take care of that problem with no other changes.

[MrwassmanNA2T]

yeah, it would...hmmmm

But i really like the way the radiator is right now

especially if you had a shroud from the i/c directly to the radiator and the rad had an e-fan running all the time or an auxillary fan on the i/c itself

just don't put the late 90's camaro nostrils on it, they look fugly

the IC already has a SPAL fan mounted underneath hardwired to the battery with a on/off switch

Thats cool

I thought about cutting those panels out of my hood too, and putting a 84-85 hood scoop over each one.

your own version of a zenki pig nose S13?

Throw some washers and longer bolts in for the hinges of the hood and lift the rear of the hood to let the air escape. I think that will make it work even better

I've had a friend disprove this on the track, it actually helps dick, raising the back edge of the hood acts like cowl induction and sucks air back into the engine bay

I hate every car that has it done to it.

I tried it on my Z with the stock hood and the way are hood system is (with the latch and the utmost front) it really didn't look good.
