Where can I get a scoop like this?

I'm sure JCwhitney.com might have some very similar.

Looks a little like the WRX scoop I'll be putting on soon.

timmya2

this car has been appearing alot lately .... could this replace that dreaded purple angel of death?... only time can tell

christaylor

Looks like something I would produce one bored afternoon with a gallon of bondo.

Besides, what the hell good would it do, anyway? The carb on a rotary is offset to the passenger side...

QuagmireMan

looks like there is a radiator of sometype behind it

Pedestrian X

Yea, but this car aint a ****** eyesore.

Top mount intercooler.

urgh yuck.
It 's from the state of South Australia, hence the SA on the rego plate. Likely its just a little generic model some local company makes.
I trust the pic was from a Magazine article somewhere - if you can find a name of the kit supplier I might be able to find a mail address or something. Or maybe a reference for the article? Fast4s magazine?
Otherwise try NOPI or the like.

Its hard to tell but it seems a fair way back and not that large for a top mount IC duct.

christaylor

How can you tell there's a radiator behind it? The gap in the scoop is like an inch tall...

Remember kids, don't jump to conclusions.

Well all I can say is I know I'll need a scoop for this TII engine. Call that jumping to conclusions if you want.

The only other contender was the glass on unit by CP racing--the way I figured it that would set me back a good $400, probably more--scoop, glassing, professional paint job. Yea it looks better and more like a TII but I just couldn't swing it.

I got the WRX one for $70 and it will be a cut and bolt on affair. Should look descent and do the intercooling job. An I can handle painting it with a few cans of good spray paint and clear coat.

Yea the FMIC is better option but again cost and I have no way to run the tubes to the front--not with p/s and a/c--neither of which I'll give up.

So for me this is the best option.

christaylor

And exactly what does that have to do with the RX7 picture?

Oh yeah, nothing.

Keaponlaffen

When he stated the radiator (intercooler) comment, the guy was talking about the picture of the silver WRX...

calm down children

I'm suprised this car isn't more popular. When I first started researching rx-7's a year or two ago, this was one of the first ones I really liked.

SERIES 1 XLR8

IMO it's too curvy and doesn't suit the fb well at all, But it's u'r car so do it if u want 2.

Pedestrian X

It was a good effort..

Rx7carl

Hey I invented a game, maybe youd like it. It's called "Jump" to conclusions.

christaylor

I can't find any "Jump to Conclusions mat" pictures, and therefore can't make fun of myself. I think I've done a good job making an asshat out of myself, so you guys will have to make do with that

There's a reason for the fancy quote script...

Rex4Life

Here's a sneak preview.

Needs to be painted and flush mounted--ehh--better if I get the TII engine in first.

p.s. I had to reduce image quality to reduce the size so the forum would accept it--drag.

I have a huge front-mounted IC with 3" pipes to the intake. I did not give up my power steering or my A/C.

81Rex6port13b

yup.. nothing in the way. you can keep your power steering and ac with a front mount... pls a front mount looks cooler lol. not to mention the better performance.

also if you dont have the money to get a big intercooler just take off the mettal shroud on the stock TII intercooler and front mount that. you can always change the pipes later for a bigger intercooler.

faye x7

AC and Power steering is for the weak!

Rex4Life

Could you PM me with some pics. I looked all over for some of your pics and last I saw you were waiting for a tuner. I did see the one with it mounted from the front but I'm more interested in running lines within the engine compartment.

And faye x7, the car came with it all so you'll have to get over it. I used to live up there by you--so yea YOU could live without AC-- but I don't think you would like it down here in south Texas. But when that p/s unit fails, in goes the CP racing rack and pinion mod.
