So people that like RST's think theyre gay.
People who dont know what they are think they're an unclosed bonnet or front end shunt?


WHY do people have them?? lol

Hmm, i like them for one reason and that's because when i see a car with one it kinda gives me the impression that there's a monster under the bonnent producing SO much heat it needs them!

Thats MY opinion by the way, which unless im mistaken i am entitled to!

Gay.

Just proves that your cooling system isn't up to the job.

To be honest a car is designed so the airflow passes in through the front grille, through the radiator, around the engine and then down underneath the car and out. By fitting bonnet raisers the air goes in through the front grille, through the radiator, then over the top of the engine and out through the gap, which kinda makes the cooling less effective.

Just don't fit a flamer kit. You get "Your cars on fire" and then "And your bonnets open" Try explaining both while at a set of traffic lights

I had the raisers on my RST and I noticed a difference on temps. I wouldn't do it to me Esc Cos, but would to a Saph or RST.

Camper than a row of tents/Camper than a row of pink tents, i was only letting the guy have a bit of credit for his creativeness.
