go for it! ..looks sweet!

i've just always fancied one. the main issues are that there are some small dents at the front of the bonnet which cant be removed due to that part being double skinned and i dont really want them filled and painted. also when driving at silly speeds the bonnet looks like its gonna come off the car it wobbles that much. im not just looking for an excuse to part with my cash honest

I'm on board with the reverse scoop, but think that the extra vents are a bit over the top

Not my thing really . I somehow think a Scooby loses its 'Scoobyness' once the scoop has been removed. Looks the dogs danglies as it is.........


If you want to donate the MK1 XR2 in the background I would be more than happy to take it off your hands

id leave it mate, car looks awsome as is.

prob a stupid question but how do reverse scoops catch air flow?

BLU

iTrader: (27)

They don't, they do the opposite and let heat out (which has been forced through where the FMIC is)

beef-on-the-bone

iTrader: (5)

go for it, if you're not happy then sell it on?!?!

or see if you can do a swap with someone and try it for a bit???

AzzDSM

so which one is better for the engine and performance?

dude ur ride looks sweet as it is !!!!

i would kill for that as it is

jpmilling

most of it has been so now mate but i like ya style . think the shells fooked anyway. was a rapid car though, had 1780cc pinto in it with 5 speed cvh conversion. they were a great car back in the day.

Depends whether you're running a FMIC or a TMIC. FMIC would benefit from reverse scoop but a TMIC needs the normal scoop to force the air through it. I have a FMIC however I have left the normal scoop on cos IMHO I think it looks better

Always worth a try

I had an 1800 cvh 5 spd Mk1 XR2 lookalike. Was great fun!!
I'm looking for a decent shell to build a turbo version......the hunt continues

jpmilling

think its more for people like myself who dont run top mount intercoolers anymore. seems to be more of just a vent rather than a cool air feed.

AzzDSM

cool, you learn something new everyday. cheers

back on subject i would deffo keep the scoop.

jpmilling

might be able to help you with that mate the guy who owns that xr2 (who it a top friend of mine) has another one. its not an xr2 but as far as im aware the shell is in good condition. has all sorts of other bits too ie full roll cage suspension kits etc. have no idea what he wants for them but if yuor interested then pm me your email or number and i'll see what i can do

Pete

I like that alot, had one on my Evo by the same make, cracking quality it was...

Go for it fella....

Scoob Fae Ork

Hi mate if i were you i would leave it as it is as i think your car looks the dogs nuts. The bonnet your looking at IMO is too much, less is more an all that</p>

jpmilling

well i thank you for all your honest thoughts......... but i ordered the bugger anyway



will post some pics when its fitted. got to wait 10 days mind

good luck fella, you can always sell it if you dont like it!

jpmilling

yeah true. if i decide i like it then i'll sell my current bonnet and try to get some money back.

i like carbon bonnets on non black cars, leave your bonnet the way it is imo

wiley

wayno

Can see your running a front mount in your pic, so the new bonnet will make that slightly more efficient as air will pass through with less resistance
