Hi,

Can someone tell me what do i have to fabricate to make my hood close with an angle?

(And at what angle it should be?)

this is what I mean (cause my english isn't so good)

All tips, tricks of comments are welkom!


Thanks alot for those that wil help me!!!!!!

 

washers, longer bolts, what ever angle you want...

 

If you leave a screwdriver between the hood and fender on accident it'll do something similar. lol

haha, make sure you forget about both screwdrivers so its even

 

I thought of that,

but the only thing you will do is put a dent in the mount of the hood..

see, the point were the hood is tilted(point 1) is to short if you look at the points where their are bolted on (point 2)



but thanks for thinking with me! No help = no solving my problem ofcourse!

 

unless you put spacers under both bolts.
This has been done so many times that most people dislike the look now.
It does server a purpose but 99% of the people that do it, do so for the "look" of it.

easily searchable on here, "hood tilt" or "hood pop".

you want to put spacers under both bolts, not just one.

 

Thing is
I live in holland and nobody has it here (yet).. I mean.. ofcourse someone will have it. But the hole "jdm" of "usdm" style isn't really a big thing here..

And I like the look of it its diffrent...

But thanks for the heads up about the search.. Am gonna do it now!

i have a "vented" hood too,
you have no idea how many pepole tell me to roll down my window so they could tell me: "hey, your hood is open"
and im like: "naw its suppose to be that way"
them:

 

rolf! hahhaha

Can you tell me how you did it?
OR (rather) show me a picutre? or a link to youre build thread

Thanks!

 

i used some nylon washers i got a home dept or lowes they got all kinds of sizes to chose from, and some longer bolts.

 

so. project 99. i did tell you correctly. think things through alil bit

 

 

wow, those grade 8 allens look nice

 

dude, don't take it so sirously..
I just thought of that it wouldn't work because of the reason i showd you in the drawing..

That it does work, am sorry.. I just thought it up in theorie, you worked it out..

You win my friend! I retract my previous statements

 

Thanks,

You've been a lot of help! Now I know for sure it works! Gonna try it tommorow!

 

only import owners would come up with something that gay

 

.. Damn

allmost 90% of the cars is an import

 

Not in America..

I always hand it to the ricers to come up with some dumb stuff (fake hood pins, fake roll bar, dolphin tip mufflers, fake intercoolers, etc...) BUT usually they are good cars. I myself own a little of both (07 Altima, and a few classic American cars pre-1970).

It's funny because the old muscle cars used to do that....but it was because of worn out hood springs and some racers tried to use it as a free cowl hood.

 

Just buy a Seibon hood. They come like that. Burn. Wat.

 

fact is we live in holland,

so the only original dutch car is the "spyker"

But am surely not a ricer,

this is my dads mach 1:


and this is my ek:


no rice as you can see..

The only way I want to try it is because the "cooling effect" that most people tell to get out of it.. If it ain't so, i'll just take the rings/washers out..

And the reason why am doing research like this, is to prevent a rice build, that my hood will be dented because I fabricated something wrong..

 

thats a beautiful 69

 

I know it's been out for the longest time, but is/was there any logging of the temps to show a difference?

 

their are a lot of people who say diffirent things

I spoke to one guy (itr) that said it brought a diffrence of 15% (he messured it)

and then one on the ek9 forum how said that his temperature rises..

so am like the hell.. am going to try it myself.. the only way to find out for sure

 

Besides performance from ventilation, I personally think that angled hood crap looks like ***! I wonder how many domestic guys and your average joe say " You know your hood isn't lined up correctly, right?"

If I didn't know anything about cars, I would say "look at this moron, he can't even install his hood right?" If you want ventilation buy a vented hood or pick up a bumper with a larger mouth...

It's just my opinion as I never understood why this "trend" started!
