Unsure, i scored it in new condition for $75. A forum member had it in his garage for over 7 years collecting dust..

 

damn, nice find.
ever since seeing an fb w/ that wing in person (today at rotor mania) I wanted to get one.
Never liked it until

btw SICK set-up. That scoop is growin on me.

 

I love the scoop. Anybody with a non-functional scoop deserves you pulling up next to them for a lesson in form following function. Stick with what you have. If you go turbo later, keep the hood opening and convert it to a heat vent. By the way, did you notice a temp drop with your wrapped header?

 

Yes, definitely!

 

Between the wing, wheels and scoop, you have a very sharp visual upgrade package. If the scoop was non-functional, it would need to go. As it is, it works quite well. Only thought/suggestion might be to see if you could anodize the scoop to match the wheels since they are predominately anodized gold. Personally, I'd run it the way it is and tell everyone else to STFU.

 

Not wasting money on the scoop since it will likely go away.

 

do it

 

Bingo. It's functional and it will definitely get some double-takes on the street.

 

i say loose it and fab up a nice cold air intake or something to the lower front.

the big chrome scoop takes away from the appeal of the car. draws your eye to the hood not the nice lines and rest of car.

also looses all sleeper status and rain/ bug/ debris will get sucked inot it easily. been there done that on several old American cars in past.

so my vote for no scoop.

 

BTW..

what offest you running on the front wheels.

are they 17x7 i saw you in another post.

 

what ever happen to this setup..did you go with or without the scoop???

 

The scoop is a cold air intake, tried the carb hat & cone filter thing and it fell on it's face. It needs the fresh air there and now. As for bugs, no biggy, that is why i have a filter. As for rain, the car doesn't see any. The scoop attracts many looks, compliments and thumbs up...without it, anyone who doesn't know the car just thinks it's a nice old sports car and doesn't even pass a second look.

 

Don't know, bought them used, $750 for tires (like new) and rims (like new)

 

The scoop got the approval..

 

suprised how nice that looks...

 

Keep it since it is functional, but I would suggest building a surround around it. It looks like you just cut a hole in your hood and the blower just sticks out. It needs an actual scoop/cover molded to the hood.

 

You have a nice lawn.

 

I've added chrome trim to the opening since the pics

 

hawt scoop. glad you kept it!
If I could afford that blower, I'd do the exact same thing!

+1 on an airdam. But thats my personal opinion. Either way looks schweet!

 

nice choice...

 

That is a sweet setup, what kind of numbers you looking for? I hope you get some drag radials.

 

now that looks mean N sexy!
