I was looking at my car over the weekend and noticed the gaps between the hood and front fenders was not even on both sides. Is there a way to adjust it?

The car has never been wrecked, so I have no idea why its like this. Maybe I just noticed it now.

Are you the original owner/know it has never been adjusted? It's adjustable, but may include the fenders as well. Maybe check clarks-garage, but on older cars I've seen, you loosen the bolts, and you have some wiggle room, then you re-tighten where you want it. I would mark where they are now, in case it doesn't start looking 'better'. Annoying work and helps to have a friend for moving/opinion!

nice job

Biggest adjustment for that would be at the hinges. You might have to slightly adjust the hood latch as well.

Thanks Ben and Josh.

Josh- How's your car running? Haven't heard from you in a while.

the problem may be due to people opening up the hood from one corner and causing it to twist slightly.

simply bend the hood back (for the win).

I've driven it a little more lately and it has been running great! Just did a little work on adding an extra vacuum port for the BOV this weekend that I need to test out. Wanted to run up to the PCA DE yesterday but time got away from me. Should have called you and we could have both run up

Why the extra vacuum port?

On the black 951 it was setup this way as well on the Godzilla BOV. It has an extra port on the other side of the spring/bladder to equilize pressure I guess. I had it hooked up on that car to a spot right there on the hard pipe. There was less flutter that way from air going the wrong way past the turbo blades.

I've been trying to adjust the hood gaps on my brothers 951 and its a pain. I left it worse than it originally was. Im going to try again tomorrow. Any tips anyone can provide? Is there a sequence to do it correctly?
