Posted 30/06/17 06:17 AM Share Posted 30/06/17 06:17 AM What else you getting mate?Since I got the car (2014) I noticed how hot it gets under the bonnet & how long it stays warm for.So I've been looking at different vents (the Yanks call them "heat extractors") that don't look like cheap plastic chromed junk stuck on with double sided tape & last year I saw just the thing that I think will help the heat problem, looks good & also has a way to stop any water coming into the vent & dripping all over the hot engine or any wiring.I'm not going to say what my solution is yet, as I'm waiting on a damaged bonnet from over east with all the bits I need intact, so I can see how it might fit on the XR8 bonnet.Thanks to all the criscrossing underside bits the main sheetmetal is welded to, I need to see what size holes I need cut out & if the vent sizes limit my placement options.All I will say is it's not the Peugot vents someone did a few years back.It's also not the XC Falcon vent bonnet which I saw a few years back on I think it was an (Octane?) FG XR6T, as I do like it for XR6T's but think it's too overt for G6ET's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I did like the looks of the Jag ones, if they are the ones with "Supercharged" written on them from a while ago. Here's the Jag ones up close Just looking around a nearby auoto wholesaler & saw this: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got a full set of FG F6 rods, pistons and rings from my donor engine. They have done just on 30,000km, still in great nick and was going to re-use but changed my mind and upped my game. Lemme know and I can send through pics, even have the bearings if people want to inspect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
