That's a pretty nice car Steering wheel looks wierd as hell though. lol. Anyway I notice you popped up the rear of your hood all drift-style-like. I wanna try that out. How'd you do it, just a couple of washers?

Hey S13...
sid you space the hood because of clearance issues with the strut bar?

stupid, i had to use a couple washers earlier on my hood. they didn't give me enough lift. you'd be better off using longer bolts and real spacers. put em beteween the hood and hinge

Hehe I wanna do it for the air flow, since the hood/winshield area is high pressure it'll force air into the engine compartment.

i figured it would be the other way around. with the hood above the weather strip, the air going over the hood to the windshield would create a vacume. allowing the hot air to escape from that space.

either way it'll bring cooler air in

Yeah I thought the same exact thing until I read an arguement about it. It's just how the vents work in your car. The air enters at the base of the hood into vents then to you in the seat. since the air there is higher pressure than in the front that's where the air would enter. I guess it'd be good for something like an oil cooler

i forgot about those vents.
so when the air is forced into the engine bay where will it go?
cuz at the same time that is happening the air from the front of the car is also comming in. thats why i figured it would work oppisit of how it does

14" rims, tight!!!
Do you have any closeups of the rims on the car.

What size tires do you have on? My boy was thinking of throwing on some 14's on his whip.
