This my first time seeing this. I always see this thread at work and imageshack is blocked.
w/ all the plating and welding you've been doing,...why am I seeing through an area beneath each strut tower?
Extra air movement to cool the turbo. As the car goes faster, the wheels act like cooling fans and push air through those holes reducing engine bay temps up to 27%.
I was finishing up the last of the rust repair on the strut towers that I had actually forgot about. Had to cut out one more small section of sheet metal that was too rusted to do anything with. I'll be making some new sheet metal pieces to weld back in place to button everything up.
Yea, I'm using a 2" cowl hood. I'd prefer a stock hood looks-wise, but I want the functionality of the cowl to bring more air into the engine bay.
i need to stop watching all these threads with smoothed engine bays and wire tucks...
Hahaha..... I hear ya .....I worked at a bodyshop for a few years when I was a kid - it was my 'calling' .....(except the welding part - which I hated) - I'd be a body-man today if I wasn't an idiot and got myself in deep deep debt for school - spent alot of $ to learn how drink every nite -Lol. Thanks. We would work well together, because I could weld for hours. Grinding them down, not so much. I get sick of it before my first flap disc wears out.
