Like the title says. Im having trouble lining up the Comptech box on my 00' S2000. The intake fits fine as well as the 3 bolts to secure the box. My problem as you can see in the photo is that the rod that holds the hood up is about a 1/4 of an inch off. I have to FORCE the rod into the slot. Has anyone else had this issue? Did you end up drilling new holes to move the box forward? Any help is appreciated!

This is the slot I am referring to...



Box with hood rod down. I did shave the end of the rod as comptech stated.



Thanks for any help.

 

just get some hood dampers.

 

None of the hood props fit through the Comptech intake hole. Everyone has the same problem. I bent the hood prop and shaved it down a bit to fit better, but still not perfect. As Cwest said, I got Tein hood dampers now.

 

yeah I think I may go to the hood dampers also. Thanks a lot for the help!

 

this is all a common prob. like the hood damp. idea....also anyone know a price on them?

 

looking around $130-$140 for them.

 

hmm this may be a bad idea if u have a cf hood i would think it would bow up

 

I know people with c/f hoods and the dampers, no problems.

 

I just shaved the hole a lil bigger so that it would fit without shavvin the rod

 

can either get a dremel and widen it, or get hood dampers. lastly you can just not use your hood prop,but eh*shrugs*

Good idea. I have this problem, but I just deal with it and have for several years. I think I got in on the second batch of these CAIs early on.

Yeah I found it to be the easiest way, I didn't want to shave the prop, so the lid was a no brainer.

 

The hood prop will not fit....Some guys have dremeled the CF lid....I got the Tein Hood Dampers..

Once you have the hood dampers you will never look back....
