Shaky hood
 
Does anyone have a problem with their 2nd gen hood shaking while driving... There is one thing that I have noticed on my 12 MS3 that I have never noticed on any other car... To me it seems like the hood shakes and moves quite a bit while driving... I have checked the tightness of the mountin bolts and checked the adjustment of the hood latch... So all in all just curious to see if anyone elses hood shakes more than normal...

I've seen mine shake driving 80+ mph. But it was a windy day as well. That was the only time I caught it. I've been over 100 several times, but didn't think to check and see how much it was shaking, if it was shaking at all.

Hood vent ftw.

Mine started vibrating after I installed my JBR 80 rmm

That might be what it is then... Kind of makes me nervous sometimes...

That's weird. I haven't heard of that before, nor does mine vibrate my hood.

I'm sure its normal,I have also removed the rubber hood seals

this was a topic covered back in 2010 when the gen2 first came out.

hood barely moves because of hood scoop (air forced in at speed, pushes up on hood because its trying to escape)...its nothing to worry about, it happens.

I posted this issue a few months back.....I noticed the hood jumping around quite a bit...usually up in the triple digit speeds....its the hood scoop causing this. But no need to be alarmed, it stays put even at 150mph.

CWP_MS3 07-11-2012 08:55 AM

Well, if by chance it does get enough wind resistance to rip off the hood; just think of all the cold air you'll be getting. Racecawr meng!

I have nothing in my hood, and i have noticed this but it is all right. @voltron and yes at 150 she is still there lol.

bryansawiseone 07-11-2012 09:07 AM

Yeah it stays put at 147 and is all fine and dandy... Just wanted to see if I had an odd ball hood or something... Kind of figured it was the scoop... Thanks for the input though...

CWP_MS3 07-11-2012 09:13 AM

Yeah, I can't speak for 150, but 135 shit is definitely still there. :D Of course this was only done in a 135mph zone. ;)

Mine was 147mph in a 70mph down the free way... Haha... Oh what a rush... Good thing there was no cars on the free way...

I have a Genwon and it shakes.
So it isn't the poop scoop.
I don't really give a fuck about it though. Otherwise I'd adjust the latch.

That, sir, is illegal. My 135 was in a designated zone.... I think... Could have been RT135 for all I know; I was going to fast to read it. :D
