I feel pretty stupid asking this, but I tried searching and couldnt find any answers. Do you guys with GT-4 hoods drive in rain, and if so, do you do anything to stop rain from pouring into the grille on top of the hood? What would need to be protected inside the bay (5sfe)? The intake quickly comes to mind in order to prevent hydrolock.

I used to have a FRP sheet under the grille where some water, rain will be drained to fron of the engine. The reason this sheet is quiet improtant is it will help you avoid the water splashed too much to the dicharge, header and some area valve cover where spark plug and cable located. If you can see the orginal GT4 hood, there will be a sheet protection under the grille like I told you....

Which is there for noise reasons and to also prevent the heat haze and steam when rain hits the manifold. This scares people a little. I ripped it out. I want as much cooling as possible. It rains a lot here, and I don't have a garage. No problems in the last 18 months. -------------------- JDM ST205
