how can i make my hood open up more like straight up i always wondered how other people do that

 

i always thought that using the same thing that makes the hatch open, just unlatch it and it rises and then push it back down... probably not practical but if i were to ever make my hood do that, i'd use 4 of those haha.

 

neither of you make sense. yet, i understood what both have said.

 

haha yeah.. i didnt know if i made sense... maybe someone would have understood.


edit for others:



4 of those, at each corner of the hood to make it rise as soon as it is unlatched from inside. and then push it down to latch.

 

no what im saying is like you know how u open a hood right and u landed on the stick so it could stand slanted but i seen other cars that they open there hood like almost all the way to the back till like it looks straight. this is what i mean look at those two civic how there hoods open

hmm .. i worked on a 98 civic sedan at my school. the hood just did that by itself... idk. i dont think it was modified., but what would ur purpose be to make it open like that?

 

ohhh haha. i like my way better :D

 

On my old EG you just lifted it further up and put the 'stick' into one of the other recesses.

Doesnt work on 4th Gens though, the bonnet just doesnt push back anymore.

 

there are a couple of stops at the back of the hood hinges. take off the hinges, remove the stops, and you can sling it all the way back. i don't have a picture, but they'll be very obvious when you're taking things apart.

 

if u push a crx hood up to far it hits the windshield and can crack the glass. Only the newer hondas can do the straigh up prop. IF you doing a swap and hte hood is a problem, take it off, only 4 bolts.

yup. raise it too high and the corners will also start digging in...just pull the thing off when needed.

When I did my swap, I just took it off. Like people already said, it's only 4 bolts, peice of cake.

 

mine goes strait up ever since my hood flew open at 45mph and broke the windshield .lol

 

exactly..... i was only familiar with EGs and EKs doing that.
