Pic Request: Bugeye's with sti8 Scoops
Hello,
Not sure if I like them or not and need to make decsion soon. Preferably silver and if poss wagons. Cheers |
Sti 8 scoops look chavvy mate, plus they are flimsy and flex at high speed.
|
Yea I think your right!
I love sti8 scoops on sti8's but just can't decide if I like them on bug's which probably means I don't lol Flex doesn't sound too clever either. |
They don't look like they fit properly, look really aftermarket and pants! Stick to STi 7 scoop
|
have a look at 'my garage'... my old bugeye (saloon) great car...sad i sold it
|
comments about flex are on the money for sure , i backed off at 100 the other day as it looked like it was about to blow into pieces ? :eek: but personally dont mind the look of em on new age cars just not classics ? here mine anyway , may be swapping with someone for oem soon hopefully :D

no flex in mine up to around the 150 mark. Mine isnt there for looks. The difference in charge temos fron the earlier smaller original scoop is pretty amazing. I've had this on 5 or so years no so cant remember exact figuire. But at the time of fitting i swapped between the two scoops and measures I/C temps and the later 2003 model scoop is far better.

mine also dosent move or start to vibrate quite solid tbh and allow so much more cold air to the cooler

I have a fibreglass scoop on my bug which i fitted over a year ago and ive never had any probs with it, i fitted some chrome mesh in it with matching mesh in my roof scoop

I havent tested what its doing areodynamicaly (spelling) but i have measured and compared charge temps with both 2002 and the bigger 2003 scoop. certainly from my temp guage plumbed into the i/c temps are lower with the bigger one. More importantly when they get high from sitting still in traffic the temps cool much quicker with the bigger scoop once on the move I've seen it a few times on here when people have removed the backing plate for instance off their classic bonnet vents and claim they have reduced the under bonnet temps but as they haven't tested it they don't realise they achieved precisely the opposite :thumb: |

would,nt of thought the shape of the headlights would effect the flow of air?
its all down to preference? |
|
its bigger so more air :D and more air is a good thing :norty: if anything its gonna perform better than sti 7 its obvious ! as for the looks its a personal opinion as is everything .

its obvious it lets more air in thats a fact surely :wonder: as its a larger opening !
or should i be entering myself in the " most stubborn " thread ?:D |
click on subaru forums then choose a topic then new post :thumb:
