Anyone noticed how much their bonnet moves whilst driving, or is it just mine ?? http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

p.s. keep your eyes on the road whilst checking http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

It's that damn scoop drawing air into the engine bay! http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif

Yeah, I've noticed - especially on track days http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

Its my pseudo speed limiter.
At 120 mph I back off as it looks sooooo hairy (on a Forester stb).
I might as well have kept the Jap rev limiter on at 112 mph.

Yeah - its a problem on the imports with Ali bonnets - mine moves up at least an inch or so in head winds at high speed - you sometimes have to slow down to avoid the inevitable!

My old 98 UK spec used to do that. New model seems much better... another improvement http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/smile.gif

Very disconcerting at high speed in a 22B

as per the Catalunya Trip !!

Was the car stationary at the time http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/wink.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif

glad u put in this post - out for a burl over Easter weekend I definitely thought the bonnet was lifting at speed - a good inch or so.

I reassured myself that as the bonnet is only made of fibreglass it was just flexing in the wind .......

Yep, mine flaps around like and old flappy bonnet type thingy http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/biggrin.gif http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/frown.gif

Especialy noticable on pictures of myself at Donno, where there is a noticable lift on the one side of the bonnet, at least 1" http://bbs.scoobynet.co.uk/eek.gif

Mine seems solid, but Tom's P1 bonnet did appear to move quite a bit.
