seventytwo Still have a turbo, it's just on a diesel. Lifetime Members 5,368 Member For: 19y 7m 18d Gender: Male Location: The 8th Dimension Posted 21/07/09 11:18 AM Share Posted 21/07/09 11:18 AM Has anyone ever seen Scott Draper from Ho Intercepters bonnet he did? It has small vents in the front then a bigger vent at the back to let the hot air travel out of.Im not too sure if they are still in business as I heard the bush fires destroyed the workshop. An original Phase 4 also went down in the blaze.http://www.hointerceptor.com.au/HO/HOinterceptor.htmYep that was one of the first vented bonnets out, not to sure how well it would work as it is getting close to the high pressure area at the bottom of the windscreen.

I'd be interested in it from a functionality POV though, if ramming air in is bad I'd have to pass or have non functional " " monaro "vents". If it could legally carry the air back out (or whatever the more techy members think would be good) it'd be awesome.Fantastic work at any rate. Best looking bonnet ever the XB GT :D Edited 21/07/09 12:32 PM by -SteveR- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now he said after looking up the mod book, it doesn't make mention of rearward facing vents being illegal... And sounded so convincing the first time!! Bastage!
