Thanks for the Welcome...

I failed to mention in my original post I have a '91 Nissan 240SX Hatchback that I have owned since '97. It started life with me as a commuter that I played with a little... then sometime around 2001, the wife decided I needed something "more Reliable" as it had 195,000 miles on it, Had a Engine Swap at 157,000 for a 9,000 mile engine, and has never left me stranded...

Since my long post got nuked... computer quit...

Current project I want to try is a NACA Duct on my 240SX Hood to replace the 280 ZX Turbo NACA Duct/vent that is there now that doesn't quite match the curve of the hood...
