hi there,

Just finish doing my raise bonnet thinge..havent test it yet..but its quite easy le..no hassle in doing it...but the worst thing is you guys know there is a sensor in the bonnet itself..the thing can detect the closing of bonnet thus when i lock my car , the alarm goes off...its located near the left hand conner near the firewall...so the simple solution is "i disconnected it"..

happy trying!
cheers.

Who? Me?... Emmm.. Quite satisfied ler wif the answer given, but really it's not a wise decision to just disconnecting the alarm sensor button. A friend of mine use to raised up his wira front bonnet with the gas absorber (remember the yellow absorber thinggie i've suggested before?).. He also did re-adjusting his sensor button slightly higher than normal before. While in this case, ppl were using metal washer and I just wondering if they still have to re-adjust the sensor button... :D

[gohkokeng]

anybody can step by step tell me how to lift up LMST bonet?

 

[feudalklippe]

That's very cheapest & easy way to raise up 'ur front hood...a bit... Another way is to mod 'ur original hinge by adding with somekind like gas absorber one i.e like the picture shown below.. The yellow thinggie one. Beside raises up 'ur front hood, it will maximizing the opening angle of the hood.. ;) But i don't know how much would tat cost... :P

u can ask at acc shop..cost you around rm180..

lol dude......y need so much money?

i tot RM0 as for washers i got a lot different sizes @ home

float up the bonet to let the trapped hot air release out only right?

add some washers can already ma.....but i duno how to DIY step by step

 

[donCityZ]

LIFT up the bonet is not only for look.

It for letting out hot air in engine. very effective if u use open pod
as air input to throttle body must keep as cold as possible to maximize
power. a lot of racers cars also do this. i DIY it before. bought some
nuts and washers at DIY shop.. rm3.50 sap sap sui only.. i put 3 washers
in.. looks nice at my city... but finally found not much effect since i m using
drop in filter with cold air intake hose. so i took it out edi.

just be careful when fixing it.. my colleagues lifted his bonet on his satria 1.6..
at 120km/h++, suddenly the bonet pops up and hit windscreen, because when u put washer, the front side insert to lock with lot of stress.. so wind speed and vibration caused it to unlock...... pity him.

 

[gohkokeng]

so how to DIY it?

donCityZ can u guide me step by step?
