Hood latch problems

[samurai]

Been having a hood latch problem with my 92 Legacy and was wondering if anyone else had this problem where it just dosen't go down all the way

[BSOD2600]

something from the engine sticking up too high?
the rubber adjuster post/screws on each side of the engine too far up?

[samurai]

no it's like the latch wont keep it own all the way...the engine is all stock but the hood dosen't go down all the way..

Clean it all and relube it. Funny, I wrote a scene involving this into my second book.

You might not feel as good to know that in the scene, it's a girl who can't close the hood on her Accord. FWIW, though, she does end up building custom cars, including a Legacy wagon that uses Chaparral 2J trickery to stick to the road.

so this is a racing story?

No, but building cars is one of the things the main character does to occupy himself away from the criminal life in the 3rd book. There's a little racing in it, but most of the scenes involving cars in the series are either solo or much more violent.
