well I was bored today and I started reading the article about the Team Honda Research Acura TL for Thunderhill 24 hr race... i picked up a line "the vented hood helped cool the coolant for up to 40 degrees(F)"... then i am like WTF... i need it bad...

I remember seeing someone has it in the forum before... any idea?


And i think itz something that is worth everyone's money!!! (just make sure u change hood in cold winter LOL or else u won't get enough heat)

yeah, but i'd imagine that it'd be a hassle...especially for us west coasters...well i guess just the washingtonians...since it rains here constantly...

 

perhaps something more subtle, like the vents in an M3 hood?

 

OMP Prelude has a custom hood he did himself. I remember reading tempertures stay 25% cooler, awesome for supercharged folks

 

lol thats so funny i had a shop mark up my hood to do something similar like that after the summer.

 

definitely. that hood makes me want to grab a big wedge of cheese and start grating.

 

thats funny..i was just thinking about this today..

 

If anybody makes this hood I will buy it.

I love that hood they use

 

Its a CAI on the V8 M3 not a vent. They vent out the fenders

 

how much would a shop charge to install something like that, and a nice install i mean.

 

man I havent a clue. Im sure one you guys can find out how they did it.

 

THATS EXACTLY WHAT I WANTED.. should i approach seibon and see if they can make it up us?

 

I've seen the hood in person when i was at VIR back in the fall of 07. All they did to make the vent is cut it and bend the metal down. Then they added the small trim piece that goes around the front of the vent. So basically we can all do this ourselves.

 

im not going to bend my metal of my hood by myself i rather just buy one

 

dude yu serious... so I spent all that time looking for vents for you and you already knew how to do it rofl...

no but seriously I searched for eric and this is what I found

looks like what omp prelude used

 

k... sometimes I shock myself how good I am at searching for stuff online...

hey eric... I dare you



if you don't I will

 

Let's see you try it, Al!

 

maybe a stupid qt but are there any side effects from rain?

none the less it looks sexy

 

rain gets in there with or without vents... but I doubt it would cause any damage... I mean the amount of rain that would get it isn't like flood warning type stuff... unless you drive through a monsoon, in which case I'd hydrolock first... thinking of doing it just in the center tho...

 

Definitely going to try and complete the vents on mine as in the s2000 link. Seen those in person and they look nuts. Ever since, I've been wanting to do that.

 

I used to have an s2k.. seen a bunch of guys do this locally.. very nice mod if done correctly.. not too hard as well.. good luck and post pics!!
