i reported the intake rubbin the hood issue long long ago.. however, much trial and error as found the perfect position where it doesnt rub at all... i'll take some detailed pics...... also helps having the stiffer engine mounts as the motor moves ALOT with the stock mounts, i was getting the p/s tank cap fouling the hood under extreme driving!!

ive noticed it a few times in different peoples pics lol!!! definitely stops any excess liquid spewage i trimmed the cap slightly too to give additional hood clearance, this combined with the competition mounts have stopped the contact issue..

the relocated powersteering tank lid WILL foul the hood under the extremes of driving.... you'll notice it takes the paint off after a trackday or really hard driving, if you shave off the "handles" at the 3'oclock position it will alevate the issue, the condom mod stops the fluid spraying all over the engine bay... which it WILL do too!! lol!!
shaving the handles combined with the VT engine mounts have stopped any rub issues ive had, including the intake top..... ive had the ess s/c system in 2 different guises over a good number of years so, ive done lots of trial and error with certain parts... for example the ess supplied hose that connects the air filter to the s/c intake is rubbish, it needs replacing, it spits, goes brittle and falls to pieces....

With that being said, is this setup really a good track option? I'm sure spirited driving on public roads would be fine, but 30 minute sessions in Florida are probably worse than Arizona due to humidity. Sorry to go off topic. Feel free to pm me.

BTW, it still makes more power than stock when its hot. It just seems noticeable to me more than when she was NA. I also just got it, so my foot is in it a little more also. |
