Nice to hear you've joined the E36 M3 club at last!
In reply to maj75:
Knowing the filters, that just reads funny
Can you provide any more details on the GT500 hood vent installation, and any high temp track day difference it made in engine cooling?
In reply to maj75:
Thanks! Can't wait to drive in our own little spec class. Excited to start the next project
In reply to MattGent:
Installation was done by Treasure Coast Miata - it was highly experimental but came out perfect. Lots of measuring before cutting. It does make the hood lighter, little weaker and does flex slightly above 100mph+ - freaked out an instructor once as he thought hood wasn't closed. It made a pretty good incremental difference in cooling. I did it in this order and would do it over again as the car runs perfect now with the combination of (1) decent eBay radiator, (2) A/C delete, (3) venting, (4) coolant reroute kit. It runs in the low 190s while on track. I have the 2nd fan (normally A/C fan) hooked up to the fog light button for cool down, I turn it on the moment the track session is over for the cool down lap. Car runs all day at Sebring / Homestead with ease. Let me know if there are any pictures you'd like to see up close of any part. I did the reroute last, probably could keep A/C for those wanting to.
Thanks. I have a/c, and a couple times at Sebring in summer the temp will creep up after 6-8 laps, have to take a lap off for it to come back down. I did a bunch of shrouding to the front, but a vent like this would help a lot I'm guessing. I do not have the reroute, and car is basically stock otherwise.
Paint on my hood is fairly shot anyways, was thinking of cutting a vent into it.
SOLD - Thank you everyone!
