The Bugeye WRX bonnet is deffo alloy I always thought the GX was steel though.

I'd take a magnet around to the local Subaru dealers and see if it sticks to one of thier GX bonnets.....

Are you thinking of getting a non-turbo bonnet and cutting it up ?? Cool louvres etc !!

Cheers

ive found one and am debating it.....i suppose it could all be offset by a lightweight battery!!!

 

if you put a bonnet on with no scoop, i take it thats what you mean what is going to cool the turbo as im sure the bonnet scoop helps cool thuis down ????

 

not really, theres no direct ducting to cool the turbo like there was on the classics......could make a small vent if you were that bothered....

If you go for a lightweight battery try the Oddessy range of sealed batteries......

or ask Alyn at asperformance to get one

You could fit a vent panel in place of the scoop just like they have on the Roger Clark drag car

 

i would be interested to see if i can find any gauze to make one, anyone know where i can find black gauze??

 

Roger Clark motorsport sell them and have them on the website but they are just a bit expensive

 

haha surprise surprise....

 

haha just found it 299+vat for a bloody vent, i nearly fell off my chair!!!

 

why not get a siebon reverse scoop or if you want to save more cash groupe s do then im some form of plastic for around $150 and they look nice once fitted

 

totally hate the idea of reverse scoop, surely your windscreen would get fogged up in cold weather

 

been told from a friend its exactly the opposite

just leave your bonnet as it is

 

nah im going to try and make up a gauze for "events" ill leave the turbo bonnet as is for normal use (which was always the plan anyway)

 

have you thought about buying a 2nd hand GX bonnet and sending it to cool louvres to add something of what your after to it ???

 

nope, id just prefer to have the gx bonnet and leave it!

 

I thought i'd let you find that out for yourself

 

thanks i could have hurt myself!!!

 

Yes but is the chair OK

 

Seibon do some *real* nice carbon bonnets with the vents already in place...........if you thought the RCMS vent was expensive then they will make your nose bleed !!

On my x-mas shopping list
