Just go to the top of this page and there's a horizontal narrow mid blue menu bar in the top box, with : Portal, UserCP, Blogs, FAQ etc... Hit UserCP and you get a dropdown menu, and select Private Messages at the top.

From here you can receive and send messages.

I common fix for your issue in the early days was to cut a large relief hole in the bonnet and fit a wider scoop - as per factory DRB.

I reckon its worth the trouble to lower the engine and or change manifolds. Achieves a far better look. If your only after 40mm, a bit here and a bit there shouldn't be too hard to find.

Some guys used to cut one of the rubber layers out from an XY mount and weld the mounting plate back to the middle plate, then drill through the centre and fit a 7/16 bolt with lock nut just a thread or two from tight for good measure. This bolt set up was an old speedway trick to prevent the engine from tearing loose if the mount failed.
