oh and i got a lovefab tubular too for my next S.. i put battery relocation + fuse box tuck on the top of the priority list

Venting a hood by just cutting it doesn't work at cruising or high speeds.

pretty sure the vented hood worked. I got caught in the rain once. posted up under a over pass. when I poped the hood to see what was wet everything was bone dry.

What was the actual cause of the fire after the investigation? Oil leak? Battery explode? What?

Yeah, please do that. Id like to know what caused it since i have the same manifold. Let us know if there was any shielding between the manifold and battery/fuse box area. Was the wireloom that runs around the shock/spring mount and goes to the fusebox covered with and heat shielding?
