Hood travel at high rates of speed. - Page 3 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I go over +100mph a lot when driving at the track, but I've never noticed this.

I will take a little wobble as a trade for how light our hood is. Hard to find a CF hood that is lighter. If not impossible.

Well the hood on my other car is like 60lbs. Brz feels almost weightless in compisn, maybe 10-15? They both have same hood latch and hinge setup. I'm not surprised it wobbles.

Solution for me is keep my eyes up looking ahead, not stare at my hood and rear end someone 😋

Being serious if it really bothers you get hood pins

Tighten it!

My issue now is driver door is coming off.

I suppose you could go old school. People may look at you weird but they work.

Check the latch itself. My hood was noticeably lifting at freeway speeds and when I checked the latch the two bolts holding it to the frame were completely loose. I pushed the latch as far down in its play as possible before tightening them up and haven't had any lift since. I also backed out the rubber grommets at the corners a few turns just for good measure.

sounds like you are slamming you hood shut instead of letting it down and pushing down. My friends BRZ has the same latch play because of that and it is kind of dangerous seeing his hood slightly move at high speed. I have no play in my latch and he has driven my car where this issue is non existent.
