well, took the spare hood to mike p's and tore into it with power tools. came away with a boxy 3rd gen style heat release vent in it. the vent starts right in front of the alternator to pickup up hot air coming through the radiator and vent it out and over the top of the car. mainly fun with power tools. let the criticism begin!

Doesnt look that bad.
I like making stuff myself rather than paying a zillion bucks for the exact same thing.
If it works, which I dont see why it wouldnt, then good job.

 

still needs to be finished. a lot of bare metal showing. mike said around 75 to paint it since he has a gun but i have no $$$ so it wil have to rust till then.

 

Looks pretty good.

I eventually want to pust cooling vents as well.
sort of like the Dodge Viper GTS

 

Or for Maximum Cooling..

 

So how are these vents on those rainy days?

 

Yeah its too bad you have to buy a quart at once to paint something... Call Jim at Gipe auto Color and tell him I sent ya... He will shoot you exactly on what you need to do it.. I got the gun, you bring the beer and I'll spray it

Still couldnt figure out what you were doing on that hood, but the scenery was good here that day wasnt it?

 

Cool! Good work guys. I eventually want to do this to my hood also but probably make a big ole vent right behind the rad, basically just like that only larger. Maybe make a few smaller ones right above/behind the turbo to get rid of that heat also.

 

I love this bonnet vent...

 

Nice job. Real nice. Clean, not showy, and purposeful.

...Hey...Where's Denny?

 

Tried to find your house this evening, I went cruising all through that neighborhood, maybe I should get a map next time ?

 

But if you had a map, and got there right away, you wouldn't get to drive the 7 for as long.... or were you driving something else? If it was a Hon-duh, you would definately want a VERY good street map ...

i disagree ,

ride in my 1st gen for a couple blocks and you will be crying to get out and walk

now a 2nd gen on the other hand is to die for riding in,

but im sure thats what mike had,
the 2nd gen vert

 

thanks guys. would have been on here to respond BUT THE FORUM KEPT CRAPPING. anywho, most of the water runs in between the motor and the fan. the dizzy does see some water though but since i'm still waiting on my gas tank, i haven't been able to drive the car regularly to see if it will affect it. if so the stock hood will stay on except for autoxing or my fancy.

mike, you found my house now but did you enjoy the neighborhood? and yes the view was good at mike p's. ah the joy of pretty neighbors........
