opinions of a sti 7/8 scoop on a classic
 

as above please both intake temp reduction and looks wise.

cheers stevie

A definite no no for the 8 scoop, you could possibly get away with a 7 scoop if you were that way inclined.

don't worry couldn't ever see myself putting an sti8 on it, maybe unless there was a MASSIVE intake temp redution to be had.

stevie

no no . looks to big imho .

8's too big for the classic, but the 7 would look great :D

Personally, I think an 8 looks great on a classic. Also I've been reliably informed that the 8 scoop can lower intake temps by as much as 18 degrees C...

The older scoobs are soooooo much better looking than the new ones........ :)

Well said that man!! :D:D:D

Yes they are!

Except when they are spoiled, like that.

LMFAO

just by putting a sti8 scoop on !!! don't think so :cuckoo:

Not just an STI8 scoop. Chavvy headlights and non-original wheels. Why buy a P1 and turn it into something else? :)

PS. The scoop IS enough to spoil it, but then, I'm a purist.

If you fit an STi8 intercooler, then the bigger scoop is needed - so cosmetic becomes functional.

The scoop isn't needed if you fit the STi IC.
Buy the air splitter from an MY03 STi and hack.

IMHO the big scoop on a classic is what a p3nis extension is for a 70 year old - it may give the impression of being virile and up to date, but the failing wrinkly body tells you otherwise. ;)

I didnt buy my car for the looks, in fact some people (mostly girls) have commented that its ugly. About to fit a hyperflow TMIC and will be going for a STi 8 scoop to reduce intake temps, functionality over looks for me.

To try to answer the original question the STi 8 scoop will give a reduction in temp, how much I dont know. However Bob Rawle has suggested to at least 1 Subaru owner that I know to fit the biggest scoop possible, in order to gain the most benefit from his work, but it was on a car intending to produce over 300bhp.

I know Terry's P1 has more bhp than standard and even if it didn't cant see that there is any need for some of the comments that have been made - chav headlights, 70 year olds what on earth is the matter with people?
Oh and by the way the gold wheels were an option on the P1 as were 18" rims.

I think that the Mona Lisa would look better with a tash, me. What do you think?

There's a classic for sale at my local Scooby garage with the new scoop on it, and it just looks all wrong. Not a fan of them I'm afraid... Classics look best as they are.

do you also prefer them orange front inicators, side repeators and wedges?
nowt wrong with it you do as that your opinion, but not mine.

i am thinking of of putting the wedges back in but sprayed red in a sonic blue car.
