Don't be irresponsible. What reason in the world is there for you to be doing 190kph when there's guys like me driving along with my 10 month old son in the car. Slow down, or you'll end up locked up or buried.

Well, focusing on the main problem, what do you think that could cause that? a misalignement? Can somebody tell me how do those clips that many racing cars have on their hoods works?

Anyone know where I could buy a set of hood pins?
It looks pretty cool on the Mx3, besides, it helps to secure the hood, wich is important<p>nope-mx3
