Thread: hood spacers anyone doing this

^ it took me a few to figure out who saw our cars lol... I forgot about the meet.

Yeah it does look better on some then others. I really like it on the B15 because it kinda creates a line from the hood back to the spoiler.. u can see it here



But again, thanks for the props.. Ill be sure to pass on the props to my brother who owns the black one.

^^^ wish you guys could do something for my 16 yr old black paint...lol

I can. Bring your car and around 2-3k depending on rust, and it will look better than the b15.

Well the paint will anyway. But some may still say they like the b15 better than an egg.

My cuz has a 91 Si CRX with a H22 and he had to modify the hood frame because of the valve cover not the intake mani.

yeah the crx is a really tight squeeze for the h22s, nice engine for the crx though

I don't have any research to back this up, but I heard that swap caused a lot of understeering problems due to the setup's frontheaviness?

Yessir. All day long.

I'd rather have a functioning vent or scoop.


Bingo.

I'd add upgraded fans as well, and heat wrap if I needed it.

On any daily driver or street build, I would not do the "vented hood" trick, no way, no how. Even on a dedicated track vehicle, I would do everything else (Koyo, slim fans, Z32 radiator cap, oil cooler, thermostat, custom radiator shroud, etc....) before I went with hood spacers.

The vehicles with the hood washers look like they were in an accident.

It may not be "rice" but it sure as hell is "ghetto-trailerpark-barrio-slum" fabulous.

Well idk about that but the car was built to go fast in a str8 line

your car looks good to man. i just favore a black car cause my car is black lol

having all the fancy cooling stuff isnt going to vent out the air. i have all that and yea it does the job but there was still alot of heatsoak in the bay. vented the hood and as i said before, all around dropped it about 10deg on a 90deg day......case closed, easy mod to let cool air flow through and vent all the hot out. The only way u will physically tell a difference is with a very accurate aftermarket temp gauge or a niss scan. both of which i have and both showed me the same results. doesnt get much more accurate
