[QUOTE="ReplicaR, post: 1547982, member: 9209"] Couple of updates since: 1. I've installed a new hood vent. This was came from Carter's Customs, it's a typical aluminum piece that you have to bend yourself. I've my stock hood still, so I've cut a hole in that and installed the new vent. Today I've had a chance to test it's functionality by doing the yarn and tape trick. You can really see that the vent really becomes quite active at higher speed, but the most important part is that the yarn was never being sucked in at any point, which means that air only travels out of the engine compartment, and not working against the flow [ATTACH type="full"]36473[/ATTACH] [ATTACH type="full"]36471[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]36472[/ATTACH] 2. In effort to make the car more enjoyable all around, I've added factory belts again. The downside is that I could only find junkyard sets, so I've sent them off to Safety Restore, where they replaced the old stained belts with new red ones, and performed a spring cleaning service, so that it retracted back easier. I'm pretty pleased with the result, the belt matches rollbar and other red trim in the interior really well. And when I go to track days, I can reinstall the race harnesses in a matter of minutes.
