Got to do some fun stuff today. started by going out and picking up some brakes, found a good deal on the local classifieds. Seller was awesome, brakes are brand new so thats pretty noice
I cannot get over how giant the brakes are compared to the ones I have on the car now. Its just ridiculous
all I need is to paint the calipers, then Ill just wait for a day warm enough to install em.
Then I did some scary stuff with my hood. The idea behind it is that it pulls air through the rad when I'm driving, so it cools down my engine and keeps under hood temps low which is nice
I started by gutting the hood
then I measured and drew out my cuts. this took the longest, measuring stuff out on a non flat surface really sucks, but I got it straight. I used the spray nozzles for reference
I then taped the edges so I had a straight line to cut on.
and whammy, vented hood
I still have to smooth out the edges, and im not sure if i should cut more up the hood and make the fold longer and less aggressive. I'll put the hood on the car and see, for now I like it.
oh, I also got an aluminium rad
