Hi guys.

I’m sorry to those who have those flaps of rubber that come off the bonnet.

This is the exact reason that you are having trouble making the guides fit.

I do not have those on my car, and it looks like they never have been there.

They are in the same place that I put the foam to stop the bonnet rubbing on the panel.

If you remove the rubber flaps, they should fit without a problem.

Again, I’m sorry but it looks like you will need to remove the rubber flaps to make the guide fit.

Okay guys.

Good news. I just picked up the guide blanks from my subbie.

They are getting bent as we speak.

I will bring the appropriate amount to the Meeting tonight if anyone wants to pick them up then.

Other people, I will send them off tomorrow arvo.

Cheers

Interstate people.... Your guides are all boxed up and awaiting the truck.

Afro, Erik and Coxy, you should see your guides in day or two.

Coxy, please sort out the payment, you have all the details.

Melbourne people, NismoR34, GroundRun and CNBLOW let me know when you can come and pick them up.

I'll be at home all this weekend, apart from the obligatory grandfinal BBQ at my sisters house.

I will bring the guides home with me, so if you give me a call, we can meet up.

Just give me a bell, and we'll organise something.

I'm bringing the guides home with me this weekend so give me a bell.

Also, could the people with standard bars take a couple of photos please??

Just want to have them on record so I know that they were right.

Cheers

Well done... now go and clean your engine bay, it's filthy... shame on you!

I fitted mine on too... I left you feedback Peter :( I'll take some pics later today.

I'm glad the bars all fit very well.

Well there was some sunshine this afternoon so I went out and took some nice shots of my car.. here's a shot of my shiny new air guide:

In the words of the Irish guys in the Guinness TV commercial, Brilliant~! :D

airguide1.jpg

i have to modify mine alot (c-west front bar),

i started modifying the front bar,, but than decided to hack up the guide,,

so didn't do to much damage to the bar, will show in pics later,,

i'll have to remove the whole front lip of the guide, coz my front grill/mesh wont fit, the front lip of the guide sticks out too far,, once again will post pics later on,,

will update the changes soon,,,

thanks

Afro

Hey Bass..thanks for the guide...i went to put it on but it wouldnt fit past the bonnet unhook latch...i noticed on the guide a marking where it was hitting where i assume it was supposed to be cut but wasnt cut...after follwing the line with a hacksaw blade, i cut out a little section and then it was spot on...dont know if anyone else had the same problem with the standard bar...nevermind it fts now and looks good....

thanks.......oh and i hope u sorted out the cabbie :P

    • Some of them keep working fine. 9 out of 10 of them end up causing an absolute misery bleeding the system and get thrown on the workshop floor in a tantrum and never thought about again because they were never really needed and just added crap to the car that we could have done without. Same-same with HICAS, A-LSD, and various other stupidities that over eager 10x engineers thought we had to have.
    • Not required but appreciated. Super Coppermix Twin even the non-competition model feels like the pedal is noticeably heavier than stock which was pretty well judged IMO. I'll be swapping in the Nismo operating cylinder soon to see how that feels.  Personally I haven't felt anything that justifies replacing the damping loop, at least compared to more modern stuff where the clutch delay valve is actually quite noticeable.
    • He made that comment in my thread - In my case the vents ARE to lower engine heat, when the car is not moving, which is the only scenario I have heat problems with the aircon on, sitting in traffic, on 40C+ days. I can't imagine a scenario that this NC needs any at this point in time. I do not know if it will actually make my cooling when the car is MOVING worse, and I sincerely hope that won't be the case. If it does, well, um, f**k.
    • Nice, thanks. Thats why I was asking, there'd been a fair bit of discussion in the E90 world about vents and where it makes sense to put one (ie, over the filters is not great as that is inline or slightly behind the struts and in higher pressure area). I struggle with air flow and pressures. It sill weirds me out that a radiator in the boot can work. 
    • Neither really Vents, when located in the right place, will lower the engine bay "pressure", as air has a path to escape, thus lowering the engine bay pressure, thus.....improving the efficiency on the coolant stack (read: IC, condenser, radiator) This is why the Blits vented bonnet on my 33 worked so well, the vent was in the front 1/3 of the bonnet, which put it right after the radiator  If the vents are to far back toward the windscreen, which is a high pressure zone, it can actually force air into the engine bay, causing higher pressure and effectively loosing efficiency on the cooling stack, like the fab of raising the rear of the bonnet, which does allow heat to escape, but only when the car isn't moving  There's heaps of cool "fluid dynamics" info out there, but, I'll attach a video of a 'Merican joint that focuses on "Miatas" as I found it when looking into vents for mine, they explain it way better than me
