Clarkey Posted December 6, 2004 Share Posted December 6, 2004 Originally posted by shaf twin exit irmscher exhaust, Is that what you call it ? And There was me thinking you'd shoplifted 2 straws from one of Derby's McD's and stuck 'em together! Lol! So - anyway. Back to my original question. How'd you stop water from flooding the engine bay - is there somehow to collect the water and drain it elsewhere ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaf Posted December 6, 2004 Author Share Posted December 6, 2004 i thought the vents were to help aid cooling and the excess water can be deemed as water injection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Laing Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Would it be possible to make a drainage system for the vents, like the TRd ones? Maybe a removable one for shows etc..... Still want one like Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foodfreak Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Top secret bonnets should come with the rain guards.... keeps most of the water off the important bits Mine has:) ... can't see them in this photo though John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 7, 2004 Share Posted December 7, 2004 Thanks John, I was looking for a pic of the TS bonnet on a Supra. I'm a bit "Hmmmm" about the odd vent over the exhaust manifold area. I've seen your car IRL and I didn't even notice that little vent, so it can't be all that bad. I wonder if the bonnet pins are really necessary. How's it for flexing at speed? Any other problems with it? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foodfreak Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 no problems at all.......... even at *60+, just flexes a little. Just DON'T lean on the opposite edge to the bonnet stay when it's up. you should have seen Dude's bonnet lift at speed:eek: you really can see the heat comming out of the vents, especially the one 'odd' vent by the turbos. But strangely enough, since going single, with the Turbo blanket on, the heat's not been that noticable. Mine came over with the pins fitted but, I'd stiil put them on for peace of mind:thumbs: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake Posted December 8, 2004 Share Posted December 8, 2004 You have the nicest Supra. I hate you. It's the one of the very few Supras I've seen that actually looks good with that massive Veilside rear spoiler. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
