Well i have a GT4 and i am thinking of making the hood scoop functional by removing the insulation from under the hood. Due to high temps in my country the heat soak on the hood will be great. So after giving it some thought i think i will remove the insulation and cover parts of the hood underneath with a self adhesive heat rerflecting material. I found this. reflective material
Does anybody else tryed something similar? Is that product reliable? What do you think? |

Do you think your engine dosnt get wet when your driving around when its raining anyways... And the only things that would have possible problems getting wet are the battery, if a puddle formed and crossed the terminals (highly unlikely!) or the altenator got pretty wet, but this wouldnt really be a problem, the engine would just be a bit boggy till it dried.
And the only other problem would be if you poured (not if it rained) cold water on your head, turbo, turbo manifold, or any other hot piece you risk cracking, which rain would have no chance of doing. This post has been edited by Chrobis: May 7, 2004 - 10:19 AM |
