hey chinkst3r your fighting a losing battle. no one will agree with you... it makes it look like the hood doesn't line up. like you were working on your motor and you slammed your hood on a wrench or something and bent the hinges.
just because you put washers in your hood doesn't mean that you will get any significant cooling. you have a hood scoop thats enough... Mazda made it that way for a reason...
the rotary engine is an engine that was made for the rx7 so imo Mazda isn't going to put out a completely different motor that is unlike any other and not think about cooling and whatnot.. it doesn't work.... if your that concerned about cooling get header wraps. they help..
the car looks good.. now take that and run with it. the raised hood ruins the whole look of the car imo... but other than that, looks OK. drop the raised hood.
i suppose it is a loosing battle, lol... the hood scoop is for the TMIC, so the air doesnt get to the engine, besides, thats putting air in, not putting it out of the enginebay... i guess it is pretty ugly looking, but i like it, and it serves its purpose imo. lol

lol, well rotaries run alot hotter then most cars, and thats awesome that ur civic puts down 350, few do LOL, but im just saying that it lets alot of heat out of the engine bay, runs cooler then with the hood closed, not saying its for alot of performance gain cause i dont see how that would work out, but the engine runs cooler
the engine itself isnt going to run cooler just because your hood is raised up an inch. maybe the air inside the engine bay? possibly. I mean enough air gets out through the bottom of the bay. your motor isnt going to run any better, any more efficiently, or any cooler, just because your hood is raised.
however, if you like the way it looks, then leave it. its your car. but just fyi.. it serves no functionality.
what about drop vent hoods then? i suppose ur gunna tell me those arent functional either?
dude do you over heat when you dont have the hood raised??????? no????? fuck, i wonder why... o right thats because the motor gets enough cooling without dumb mods some douche bag thought of when he was wondering how he could make his car more gaydm. it works the way it was made... for a reason... some dude was payed alot to come up with that design. stfu raised hoods are dumb. and i know half the people here would agree. done.
