how to raise a gap for the front bonet?

[donCityZ]

goh,

i try.

u need washers.. the thicker is better. u also can use nuts (which is more thicker). if use nut is a bit difficult cause u need to screw it in.

open up the bonet and use umbrella to hold the bonet on position. its best to have a fren hold it for u. i used umbrella since im alone during diy it.

at the hinge, unscrew the bolt one side at a time (left or right side up to u).. my car had 2 bolts at each sides. between the hinge and bonet, put the washers in
and rescrew in the bolts (but dont tighten first).

do the same for the other side.

try to close the bonet to lock it in. then open it back a bit and tighten all bolts.

finish.

ill post some pics 2moro if i remember.. simple DIY.. did it on the 1st day when i got my car.. no diff la.. just when raining downside of from window like got hot air coming out.. 90% ppl do it just for looks only...

The alarm sensor and water from rain are worrying me leh...

I'm going to buy the bonnet absorber thing, so I think my bonnet will raise up. But then I scare lar.

Noticed my alarm and siren is on the firewall. After that is my throttle body. Then below the throttle body is alternator.

If any of these kena water, then how? Will it broke?

 

[e819]

dont wory.. if use 3 washers.. no water will come in.. the alarm sensor theres a size 10 not.. loosen it and pust it upwords a bit.. no problem till now.. my car already 3 yrs like this..

 

[feudalklippe]

Speedz1655,
Your drawings are great

 

[andrew_viper]

done before and it broke the bonnet braket inside..cos when u lift up the bonnet the nut/washer will hold ur bonnet instead of the whole braket,it only apply force to the bonnet.It happens especially when u are driving over speed bumps..maybe i was driving fast without noticing the cracks on the bonnet..but i'm satisfied with the mod :) cheers bro*

broken liao so how? can be replaced?

change whole bonet?

now still lifted your bonet?

 

[andrew_viper]

of course still lifted my bonet lo..needed the ventilation ma..yeah can do welding to fix back..but i'm affraid that the braket & welding works wont hold firmly cos i;m affraid the whole bonet will fly off so i decided to change the whole bonet lo..rm50 only wurt..no point saving the money if the whole bonet fly and caused more damage..worst it could endanger your life..happy mod bro*

 

[e819]

don scare ppl like dat liao.. hahaha.. i lift up my bonnet and speed 200++ also nothing happen...

 

[andrew_viper]

haha..i know nothing happen so do i..but what if..if u see clearly when ur going 200km/h u can see ur bonnet is actually vibrating.. :)

 

[e819]

oh ya.. bout the vibration.. i go 60kmh oso got vibration.. i hantam onli.. n pray much that nothing happen 2 my bonnet.. haha

 

[andrew_viper]

haha..somemore said i scared ppl..actually seen a satria on the highway going 80km/h only but his bonnet fly off and hit on his own car winscreen and roof..very terrible incident..but not sure whether he got "semput" his bonnet or not la..

simply use a nut and bolt. find at the hardware or bolt n nut shop...bolt n nut that same 'bunga' as the original bold n nut, but find a long bold and added 2 0r 3 nut...it making higher..

 

[e819]

the main thing is 2 make sure the front lock is in good cond. to mengelak kejadian flying bonnet.. hehehhe
