The hood will NOT crack with pins. I run off road and not a problem. I have 2 pins at the front. And yes SCCA requires removal of the stock latch mechanism. At the back I have the stock hinges without any springs to be able to lift it. I have a piece of PVC I use to hold it up when working on it. It fastens to the hinges with Dzus fasteners so I can take it completely off when needed. and like mentioned before it’s not bad to lift off once you get used to it. Pins are barely noticeable. ![http://wetzelsracing.com/images/mp35.jpg](http://wetzelsracing.com/images/mp35.jpg) ---

> [@Daddie](#): > > I don’t care how pins look, but I would rather have 2 pins on my hood vs a cracked hood in my windshield and a dented roof… not to mention the possibility of not being able to see out the front window and crashing… Seriously… ---

No shit but seeing as you could atleast copy my ve, pe, and many other usefull tables i think it would be much help. Auto or manual is hardly the blunt of the tuning process. Glad you have your thinking cap on today. ---

Uhhh I was under the impression that the tables and other variables were laid out in a completely different format in 97-98… And like I would even mod my car anyways… ---

Word two years ago i would have said that is the gayest shit i have ever heard. But driveability has become more and more appealing to me. Im hoping a cush daily will kill these feelings. ---
