Hood Vent

[Halon]

Just got home from Florida today. There were a couple real nice packages waiting for me, which is always nice :) This is just something else to help me combat my running issue. YES YES it may still be my head gasket, despite it passing all my tests. But either way, I figured all this can do is help. I grabbed the grinder and cutting disc. And about 2 hours later, here's how she looks!

I think it looks good. I kind of sucks that it can't be in the middle, but I will work better closer to the intake.

Ya, I was asking the RRE guy about that, none of theirs are centered neither due to the hump. I don't mind it though. You can definately feel heat coming out of there. If feels like the radiator fans are blowing hot air right out!

[Hoffer00]

Hell yah. that is the goal.

Cool everything down.

Could you have used the same vent that the EVO's have? It looks ok, but if its actually functional thats even better.

[Halon]

There are some vents that look like the ones on the Evo's, but I guess I personally didn't like how they looked on 1g's. RRE uses these ones on a bunch of their cars, and I always liked how they looked, so I just ordered it up from their Carbon Trix division (carbontrix.com). As far as functionality, it's what they use on a bunch of their road racing cars, and it's apparently been working for them. It's one of those things I know people will chime in and say it's not needed and what not, but I've been just having loads of issues with running hot, and this can only help. So I gave it a shot. Plus it was only 99 bucks.

I can't say I'm a big fan. The hump kinda throws everything off. But hey if you like it that's all that matters right.
