Been told, by "one who knows" not to do this, as it actually RAISES underbonnet temperatures.
And trust me, if this guy says so, he will have done research to prove it

So the RCMS car was having heat issues when it won TA? and the Zen car too? and the Banana will soon have problems as well?
Crikey, I better sell my scoop too then.
Cheers for the heads up.

TA is a LITTLE different from normal fast road work.
In the end, you'll do as you want, and I'll go with the research

Nope. Certainly NOT a "sell you one" type of guy.
But he DOES know his stuff and he DOES back it with research.

It is Harvey he is referring to, I will agree with removing the blanking plates from the bonnet vents will cause heat spots.
