When my car sat outside overnight this past Saturday and all day Sunday it was literally frozen in place. I had to rev it to about 6k and dump the clutch to break it free. This was in reverse as well.

Wish i had been there to see that!!

Well, glad I'm not the only one. lol. I'd be afraid to dump it like that...it's in a parking ramp so that could end poorly.

I finally had time to break the car free this afternoon...all four calipers were frozen.

My new jack isn't working and the Rexpeed hood dampener borked my hood real good...there's now over a 2" gap from bending the hood. I'll try to find some money for a CBD hood in the Spring.

That sucks. Did that freeze up and refuse to collapse for the hood to close?

At least you can blame the hood strut thing on the weather. if it was a prop, you would only have yourself to slap.

Yup. It was slightly tweaked already from when I shut the hood a little too fast over the Summer. It's a lost cause now. I will just need to sell a few things and order one of those Carbon By Design hoods from MAP.

Those Rexpeed dampers are a joke, a few guys down here have them and it feels like I have to hang off the hood to get them to close.

Yup, I have the hood to prove it now.

Just ordered a CBD hood from MAP to fix the problem in the last photo. I debated about going with carbon on the under side but went with fiberglass instead...just isn't worth another $175 to me.

I'm going to have them ship it to RS and have them install it for me. I don't have a good way to dispose of the OEM hood so I'll let them scrap it.
