Hi all wonder if anyone can help I was just wondering how you fix the clear plastic light covers,you would think screws but I see the original gts does not seem to have screws but need to take them off for fitting and ajusting ???

I used a couple of small screws along the front edge. There was no information in the set I got on how else you might do it...

Cheers,

beario, i think we also need a better pic of the dual-NACA setup on your hood too! Quit holdin' out on us, dude! Where's the pix and story?

(Sorry for dragging this one off topic...but you can't tease a bunch of 924 addicts like this and expect anything different

)

yeah but, they don't go seem to go anywhere. Maybe if they were turned around they might actually help lower the pressure under the hood and therefore also the temperature?

They look to be standard NACA ducts that you can pick up at places like Paragon Racing and were merely molded in place.

Looks nice though!

The one on the RHS of the hood appears to be just like (if not identical to) the stock 931 NACA duct, which is designed to draw air into the engine compartment, over the hot manifold, and down and out behind the engine. So of the two, it is at least functional where it sits, although probably not at all required for that V8.

The one on the other side, if I had to guess, is a homemade duplicate of the OEM duct. The aftermarket ones that I've seen do not have the rectangular opening like the OEM 931 duct, but instead have round openings designed to have a piece of tubing attached to them.

Tell me all about your brake setup? I have my booster almost hitting my right hand rocker cover. It's a Chevy though so clearance may be different.
