you can get a rain gutter thingy for the rain

 

do you even drive your car in the rain damian

 

>>do you even drive your car in the rain damian

the track car.....no, well not intentionally :-) i have got caught in a few storms on the way back from the track.

i dont care about the rain crap :-) .... only thing that maters to me is the ducting that goes from front hole back to abs, et....

 

But whatever...

Has anyone ever done tests with the vented hoods with pieces of ribbon taped down at the vents to see if it blows out or gets sucked in? Just curious.

I would say if you could make it work the Mazdaspeed. Anyone know if the Knightsports works good with a V-Mount?

 

re-amemiya



a less outrageous take on the scoot style

 

That's one Fugly nose. Only exceeded by the F&F Veilside (C2?)

 

hahahah, its not that bad lol

 

Scoot hood all the way, imo it look the best out of any hood so far made for our cars.

 

I love my Scoot hood, but I think you have to see the hood in person to appreciate it.

Definitely not for everyone, it grabs people's attention (good and bad) pretty easily.

With my Scoot hood my max coolant temps dropped from averaging 94C to 86C in the summer.

Cooling is awesome!

 

Scoot hood. Are you gonna paint it? I heard that painting a CF or Fiberglass wont match well with the other body parts.

 

i dont fansy vented hood on FD, but to choose between two i would say Mazdaspeed looks way better IMO

 

have you thought about the feed hood. not as agressive as the others listed.

 

i did look at the feed hood, didnt like it.... and i may paint the hood at some point, or at least parts of it.

 

Between the two I think there is more functionality to the Scoot to flow more hot air out. The MazdaSpeed looks more appealing to the eye.

 

The RE Amemiya is my favorite. I wish some one would make it for the RX8

 

ordered a scoot.... pics to come once i recieve it.

 

Serious, to me a hood is a hood is a hood. It's all up to you Damiam.

 

:-)

 

cool so are we going to get another awesome damian style post with a ton of pics and a how too!

 

I say go with the scoot style (or the N1 style sold by Rotary Extreme), for their venting capabilities. I don't make enough $ to buy the real ones, so I'm probably going to end up going with the VIS knockoff, I can pick one up from them for $610 plus tax of course. I would be going with the RE one, but, well, it costs more then I can spend, plus I've got to buy some trailing arms/toes links from there, plus that whole motor rebuild....

 

yes :-)

 

read above, I already ordered a scoot...and its a VIS for $517+ 150 shipping from here:

I guess you heard it wrong or someone is passing up bad info. We made the vmount with the Scoot hood on the car.

If you are getting the VIS one, that one has been modified. The rain free plate is a big piece and the center scoop which feeds air to the ABS and master cylinder is deleted. Let us know how much it weighs after you got it.

Can't beat price though. I guess made in China has the cost benefit. Soon the China exports will make all of US manufacturers such as myself out of business.

yeah chuck, if i had the extra $$ i would have got yours for the rain gutter and better ducting. I'll post on it when i get it.
