Getting ready to bring my 914 home. Arizona to Calif. just my luck, this week will see the hottest weather. Need to be on the road by 3am but still 80 degrees.
Question.....Does driving with the engine lid up make any difference in engine temp ?? |

I put a wire between the two parts of the latch so the hatch is about 1/3 up. I think it helps. On my VW beetle I made a prop to keep the lid open about 8 inches at the bottom. I use this because my VW is very original thus no stand offs that many use for extra hot air cooling
