I was thinking about getting a evo style hood and I was just thinking how the vents on it work, like is it ok for rain to get inside or are they made to keep the rain out still?
Just something I was thinking about so I thought I would ask.

 

its ok for water to get into the motor BUT not into the air filter what so ever unless you wanna blow a baseball size whole on your block lol. and also,you can rise your hood up from the hinge points. that would give your motor more ventilation.

 

Where did that fad come from?

 

I don't know but it looks like ***

 

it keeps under hood temps down a little bit. helps the motor clear the hood for some motor configuration.

 

Friend just told me it started in Cali. Makes sense I guess.

Either there or Japan.

Apparently he read some magazine article where they actually tested it out to see if it did anything. They showed that it lowered underhood temps on a stock miata or something like 7-10 degrees.

Still not worth it IMO.

Amen.

 

H2B swaps require that for hood clearance, other than that, its stupid

 

Wow you people don't know squat about hot rods do you? The hood trick was a hot rod trick probably started in the 60's.
LOL "it probably started in japan"LOL

 

hood prop? not hood vents....

My B series in my cx barely clears the hood, it rubs it when its closed. My reason for a prop.

 

OMFG STFU, it was in fkn Import tuner like 2 months ago. Its been around forever, since the days when my dad used to build hot rods.

 

my boy got a H2B swap in his ek coupe and he doesn't have to prop it. is there a required chassis or something like maybe you got to do it on a eg?

so TRU LET THEM KNOW!
exactly...... "started in cali or japan" lol

 

i dunno if its just an EG thing, i know that alot of people who swap h2b have to prop it because the hood "skeleton" doesnt clear the valve cover

 

With the QSD h2b kit the only chasis you dont have to do that is the 96-00 civics. With the Evo h2b kit none of them need to be spaced

 

guess that answers it ma boy got the evo kit
