Okay so I order a set of Gruppe-S hood dampers for my evo. I fellow their instructions and it went smoothly. It only take about 10 minutes to installed.
My problem is I cant get the hood to close. I try putting more muscle to it but it start making craking noises so I stop. My question is what did I done wrong?? Is it possible that the dampers are bad?? perhapes I install it wrong??

oh yeah I try to push the rod into the damper body but it wont even move too.... I guess I'm stupid ....so please help me out.

Here is the link to the page I'm fellowing...

nevermind I got all figured out by my dumb self.
It needs to break loose before it can operate normally.
I went a bit beyond the craking noices then it breaks loose and close/open propertly now.

I need to stop when working on my evo.

 

Glad you got it worked out. I probably should stop when working on mine but where is the fun in that.

 

LOL

Now that I'm done let's celebrate

 

Just don't drink when you're working on brakes and you'll be cool lol.

 

yeah that could be dangerous. i dont know if it would be more dangerous while you are working or after the job and you cant stop on the highway......LOL
