The drift look bonnet?

[mtopxsecret6]

Hello people.. Im just wondering how you go about raising the rear of the bonnet, to get the dorifto look? thanks..

[tigermm]

Spacers under the hinges.

Not sure on the legalities of this in Aus tho.

But please GOD, don't get a black bonnet and pretend you have a carbon fibre one!!

Put washers under the bolts holding the bonnet up and possibly get some longer bolts if need be.

I thought it was between german and sweeish...ya? lol

[MM2death]

How much cooling benefit can you get? IMHO, i think it looks pretty horrid.

[Duncan]

esay to get drifter look, just crash it into something (gently). I'd suggest approx 20km/hr

Does anyone actually know how effective it is as a cooling aid.

If it works...it's a very cheap mod.......Qld Raceway is a stinking hot place in summer.

[MM2death]

It's a wonder the japs don't drift bonnetless.

[Guest RedLineGTR]

some do..hehe

[SKYLINED]

[chaos]

I`m half German/Australian, and my better half is Japanese;)

i guess spacers would work.

I have also seen spacer kits which have stronger bolts and hinge mounts etc. they r around $100

To be honest it has little to no effect at all, for any form of cooling in the bonnet the vent area needs to be in the first third of the bonnet. This from a guy who makes carbon bonnets for a living for rally etc. Something to do with the wind speed, it will not push all the way trough the engine bay and out the back. I used to have mine up 5mm at the rear but this was to help clear fmic piping and strut brace as they both touched slightly on the bonnet liner.

Interesting point re the aero BOOSTMEISTER...I remember reading just recently (can't remember which car this was tho), they actually had an *intake* at the base of the windscreen - apparently something in the airflow around that part of the car makes it suck air *into* the engine bay.
