Acquired a piece of Racing/Rotary history today...





was up at atkins today, and had seen this scoop before, but decided to ask dave if he'd sell it... well its the last remaining part to his RX2 Race car, but he sold it to me for 35 bux! what a deal! i think it will look cool on my FB sticking out of the hood... now to devise a filter for it...

If you put it on the 7, you have to have a supercharger on there too. An N/A FB with that scoop would be awful.

If it goes on the 7 you can always put a fiberglass or urethane cover over that thing so the chrome doesn't act like a police antenna.

Sounds like the Vert REPU will not be making it to SevenStock this year. Bummer, I was hoping to check it out. Best of luck getting it running Elysian.

dude I think it might be sweet. Some radical intake. I think it's meant for more of a sidedraft carby however. I say do what you want. You're not making the 7 for us. You're making it for yorself. But first, get a look at it with the scoop before you start cutting. Just tape it on the hood post a pic and see what you think first ok.

EDIT:

And polish that beast up nice and pretty.
