Massive thanks to Steve at Horde NZ for repairing the existing cowl hood and then fabricating our new scoop hood. Along with the new vents below the grill to let some fresh air in, I'm really excited to see how this runs at Test & Tune in November. Nothing ventured..... nothing gained.

Thanks to Steve at Horde NZ for the changes to the front bumper..... should be getting some cool air in the engine bay now. And progress on the new hood continues.

Thanks to the awesome work from Steve at Horde NZ, we are underway with a development for the Nova's hood. Going to trial a scoop on there and see what happens next season. Love the original cowl hood so we've kept that untouched and can switch back to it if needed. The front grill area will also get some attention from Steve, to get some more fresh air into the engine bay.
