At the Etobicoke gtg today the matter of a hood blister was discussed. Long and short there's a dimensional criticality. I didn't wanna do it. The alternative is lowering the crossmember which in turn affects the steering geometry and that's outa the question.

So what do you think?

What is in the way?

The top of the intake manifold and the throttle body. I already sectioned the intake body for about 15 degrees but it's short by about 2-3 cms.

There is no way to modify the intake any further? Do you have a pic of it?

JimV8

Here's a good look at it.

I bought a blister from ReidsRods and tried to copy the pic but it won't take. I'ts a bit more that needed but I can re-flange it to the size i need.

Just leave the hood open a little. I don't see what the problem is.

for that hotrod with the LS1, isn't it standard operating procedure to go with no hood?
nice to see the project is coming along. looking forward to seeing the finished product.

Cherry up the hood and slam it shut. Just kidding. Looks good.

Look on the Honda civic mod. web sites. There are many low profile hood bumps that you can buy that actually look pretty invisible when painted hood Colour.
