I have a GSR block with a B16 head. I have put spacers on the hood and i've removed the underskeleton. IDK what else to do. It still hit the Damn hood. I have innovative mounts as well. help Please

 

I hate to be the one to tell you these cars have shifted with age and sometimes there isn't anything you can do other then a different hood or keep spacing it.

Sometimes other mounts will help. It's just these cars seem to varry with this problem.

Can you get some pictures of how bad it's rubbing and exactly where? Possible something to grind down more to help.

 

ZC hood? maybe

 

I read of putting spacers inbetween mount and motor to lower the motor???

I took the motor out since it needed work but I have on the hood 1/2 inch spacers. Anymore spacing and the hood wont prop open.

 

 

ZC hood fits USDM front?

 

yes

 

Harder mounts and a ZC hood man. I have a B20vtec in mine and it hits as well. I just live with it though because I don't want to space the hood

 

why would a zc hood clear if the us one does not? to me it look like the only different in zc compared to us is the dohc bump, and you would need a sir style hood to clear? someone educate me

 

you know what gets me is that I have never had this problem. I always read about it but?

 

someone educate me why would the zc clear? zc looks the same as us hood but has a bump, pictures of us hood then zc and sir,

 

cause the stock one goes down and the zc goes up

 

look at the pictures to me its look like it goes down, sir comes up

 

one type has the bump and goes up where as the other one goes down.

 

the one with the bump is a jdm zc hood the one that goes up is a jdm sir hood

i dont think the zc hood will clear if the oem hood want, but the sir hood will someone correct me if im wrong on this

 

yea it should clear no problem. saw a picture of some guy who cleared a k swap in his hatch with the jdm sir hood.

 

vis make a carbon sir style hood that will fit stock front

 

thanks guys sorry havnt posted got caught up.. anybody what do you guys think if i were to put spacers on the mounts.. good bad???
