How to raise your car hood.. DIY style

[stupidcar]

be careful when driving in rain though. Malaysia rain is very "geng" and you dont want water to go near engine/electrics.

Then those cars with louvers how ah. I thought it's okay to touch engine?
VR2 mentioned before he washed his engine. ECU inside cabin so no worries.

raised the bonnet by using a nut only (0.3" height)...tried 2 nuts but will kena fender...not sure by that 0.3" height lifted, will it help in dissipating the heat from the engine bay...

I'm not sure how much engine bay temp will decrease but I have record air temp in front of air intake box. It is confirm that engine sucking colder air.

fast and easy way to deal with those bolt with loosen thread on the head? my friend blame it on china made spannar...

I think a jack for that would suffice.

I wanna ask that if its raining and the hot air come out, does the vapour on the windscreen annoy you?
or you don't have that?

 

[me2kimi]

Vaporize only happened when car stop running.
While car is running, you even notice the vapor

Why pening? U welded it? :vroam:
I thought just add another bolt only?

how to add another bolt when the thread on the head already gone?cant remove the old. its like the whole thing is very soft and rapuh, so the spannar cant get a grip on it.
