it doesn't have problems with the temp but it keeps the engine bay cooler which will let the intake suck up cooler air. its a cheap and effective way of doing that.

basically it just completes the flow of air from the grille out the back of the hood. to me its would almost be as effective as putting a hood vent on it.

a normal engine runs in a range of temperature. if it to hot, the water runs through the water-cooled radiator. i can?t believe, that the lanos has problem with the temperature. i don?t believe that this modification has a effect for the performance, but it is funny...

this is my personal view

I didn't invent these spacers but somebody did and you can buy them. I don't know why but everytime to answer to me (in english :wink: ) I feel like your angry with me and I don't want to write back ever again.

i've been thinking about rigging something up to make my own. what did it all consist of? b/c if its just parts i can get anywhere i'll just buy them and come out cheaper in the end even though $20 isn't bad but don't feel like waiting on shipping.

the temp gauge is for the temp of the actual engine like the internals i think. the spacers help cool off the engine bay air itself.

thanks man for taking the time for it. looks simple enough. whatever i do won't look as good probably but it'll do the job that i want. just some spacers from a auto shop should do it.

is no good work. the small spoiler at the front...the engine bonnet fit not 100% and the rims have seen better times...
okay the color is from subaru? and it looks good, but "the most beautiful"? i would say no...

tschau norman
The spoiler on the front isn't small at all. It's actually quite big. First it's the blue spoiler (lip) and then there's an additional black one (from scratching the blue one). ;)

cooling

Post by cielo20 »

its not about water temprature your talking when you lift the hood on spacers !its the engine bay temp. and the lower you keep it the better cos at cooler enginebay temp. the car performs better as there is cooler air going through the induction :D

bonnet spacers

Post by cielo20 »

i did my spacers if you wanna call them like that its pretty simple !
just buy 4 bolts as thick as the original ones but twice as long and 4 nuts for each bolt +2 washers for each bolt and you can set the bonnet up and down as much as you like as you just tighten more the nuts to lift up more the bonnet! ist very cheap and its better than spacers as you have to stick to the actual lift with the spacers!
