as the topic says , mine doesnt ....... the driver side < since ur guys in states .. > has quite a lot of gap !!!!! is my hood bent or what ??

 

not sure about similar measurments but with my b20vtec in the ef i gut rubbing on the drivers side and it makes a gap as well.. a little skeletol shaving should fix it up im sure. im just too lazy

 

If you get the ZC or Sir hood you will have no problems.

 

my car is a JDM EF8 , crx SiR

but **** me , the gap is HUGEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

 

I had to cut mine for it to fit perfect, but if you have a sir, it shouldnt be hitting. You have factory mounts, right?

yes everything factory , its about 2in gap !!!!
i take a peek thru the gap , there was nothing there to stop the hood from closing properly !!!! the hood didnt even touch the engine !!

so what is it ?!?!

 

Is this a new car to you? because it should not have a 2 inch gap. It might of been hit by another car while parked?

 

mine just rubs.. it doesn't push the hood up or anything..

 

make sure you didnt leave a wrench on your shock tower or something...

grrrrrrr !@#)!_@#)_!@(_!@

 

i have a a b18c1 in my crx using hasport mounts. the hood rubs on the motor slightly on the driverside.

 

I know a lot of times the hoods get bent from being propped on that crappy stock prop for long periods of time, or if it gets pulled down whiel still propped, etc. Mine has about a 1/4" gap on the driver's side. But dang, 2" sounds like your car was in an accident...

oh man !!!!! cuz my car has been propped for days when mechanic couldnt figure out the electrical problems that happened to my crx !

 

Look closer at the hood-see if the is a bend in it somewhere.You won't get a 2" gap by just leaving the hood up for days,lol.Hate to say it but if it wasn't bad before,it must have been something that happened while it was at the shop.Maybe he was frustrated and leaned on the open hood beeing propped up by accident,don't know.

 

lol , ok so i went a panel beater today , and guess what they told me the hood has been damaged , i was like WTFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
cuz when i bought the car , the hood closed properly , and now dayumm from the side u can slide ur fingers in !!!!!

you might have the wrong mounts for your ride. B16A is what your car was originally equiped with. the B18C engine is taller therefore will cause the problem you are in. some people (in the states) buy B16a mount kits thinking it will work for a B18C, and it will. but the hood will not close. the B16A mount kits used for the B18C are a good idea for those who wish to avoid scraping thier motors when going over uneven surfaces, but an after market hood or modified one is required. what mounts are you using? if using the mounts the B18C mounts try your stock B16A mounts. if you are using the stock B16A mounts try using the B18C mounts. hope this helps!

 

im using my b16a mounts sir

oh well i twisted the hood to the opposite site , and lol it looks way better now

u guys reckon if i use hood pins , the hood will closed properly ?

i suggest for proper fitment you use the B18C mounts.
