The Picture is pretty self-explanatory. I'm pretty sure it only collides on hard acceleration. Any ideas? Thanks.

Get another cover and drill the holes a bit bigger so you can lift it up a little.

Hey, I'll check it out for you when you come over on the weekend. We should ditch that old fan and get you sorted with an electric one.

Cool.

Clean all that **** from your engine bay.

Degreaser is $1.50 a can.

Save some dosh and I'll get you sorted with some electric fans. We still gotta do that cold air induction mod too.

Bah, just get the E-fan. It will fix all your problems, and make the engine bay look A LOT cleaner and more empty, trust me, its worth it .
