austin350z Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 the only concern i have is the rain getting to various engine parts through the vents will the cause any adverse effects, the lotus elise i had before this had vents in the engine cover but not as big as these !

There is absolutely nothing to worry about! Your engine has covers on it anyway....pretty much everything is covered battery, fluids, motor, etc!

BulletMagnet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Rain has no adverse effects at all, like mentioned above, your engine has covers anyway, so it will be fine. I jusr leave the traps in purely cos I'm lazy to clean the engine bay every week and only take the trap out for meets and shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

austin350z Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 hmmm ? after todays down pour the the 3 areas that seem to get the worst of it are Pop charger, oil filler area and MAF sensor don't really want any of these things getting very wet !! Not sure what you mean by traps ? But i'm going to get some waterproof material on bungees to secure around the bonnet and under it for now as can't fit it in the garage !!

BulletMagnet Posted July 7, 2009 Share Posted July 7, 2009 Not sure what you mean by traps ? martinmac and I both have the Varis bonnet which comes with "traps that go under the vents and act as waterdrains and guide the water to the radiator area away from the engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
