been tempted by one of these, but not sure about scoopless scoob.
|
in two minds myself
|
I'm the same Steve.
Head says yes, heart says not really sure. I am very much function over form but is this a step to far on an impreza ?? Just looked at the price on RCM's website. £299...:eek2: Won't be getting one of them then! Maybe an ebay special for £100.. Trouble is, they're more like an EVO scoop and don't look so good imho.. |
|
in carbon fibre sir???
|
I also find it has stopped the bonnet flapping up and down on the motorway.
RCM, Zen, and P20SPD all use them on their Time Attack cars. |

have to say gary, i have watched th ethred from start to finish and it is a very good looking classic, undecide myself on the reverse scoop, but does look nice, same issue with running without a spolier some pics i like others i dont, seing yours on 18's is making me think i need to upgrade the 17's how do you find them, soem people say they run worse on 18's |

I agree with others have said, an Imprez without a centre vent just looks weird.
When I get around to it, I'm gonna stick my oil cooler there so it will be function again anyway. |

I definately prefer the handling on 17"s, but the difference isn't too much.

why hasnt anyone tryed mounting a airfilter box of some sort there, would tidy up the engine bay a little and get direct airflow and still work over 130 which is when they stop being efficent
just another idea |
I don't think the extra pipework would make fitting the airbox there practical.
Interesting idea though. Potential ram air possibilities. reducing the negative pressure in the airbox would make the turbo work more efficiently. |

what do you find different about them, does it really change how the car feels that much in corners? or is it more the tramlining on the straight etc

Ive found 18's feel like they turn in better and i did have 17's on for well over 2 years
i am aware that the common ground is 18's look betetr and 17's handle better but do 18's really make that much difference on road and the odd track day |
