Hood Scoop

[BlueWolfCry]

nothing like people thinking you're rice and burning the s*** outta them

Got the scoop in the mail put it on just to see how it looked and it didn't look too hot. Scoop was also kind of cheap and flimsy, guess that's what you get for $30 bux. Gave it to my friend to put on his '91 civic. Thanks for all the input and advice. I am putting all the input i got together and am opting to go for the sleeper look. Nothing would be nicer than to creep up in a stock looking III and smoking some "ricers",,,everybody agree with me on that?

Dealer "zoom-zoom" sticker/StrongBad window sticker

How much HP did those add? Especially the StrongBad one... I heard that you can easily get 30 extra out of a Homestar.

wow, i really dont like that scoop... get a hood with a scoop built in...

well this scoop happen to be the one for this model year...if you can find a hood that has a scoop on this model year..show it..this is the hardest car to find parts thats why its the best one cos you dont see it in anyone elses car..even if you open the hood you will find 4 holes made specially for that scoop....ask corksport if they even sell one of these...happy hunting

that hood scoop is as functional as that huge ass wing you got on there...

hmmm i guess not all people here are really into the mazda thing...i guess now that mazda cars are cool then people jump in it...the spoiler i have happen to be the mazdaspeed JDM for that particular model...Should i say one of a kind...cos theres none like these in the US..tsk tsk...im not into doing the same thing with other..more like into one of a kind thing...i guess JDM is not in also now..hehe

I wouldn't say JDM is not in but I've never seen the sense in a rear spoiler on a FWD car. Logically, it would actually remove downforce from the driving wheels. (hand)

hmm..thats why the cars aerodynamic to cheat the wind and to have less drag...the spoiler is useful to stabilize the rear of the car in speed excess of 60 mph...

If you say so. (shrug)

 

[txmzdspd2gen]

heres the ad that mazda released for the 2 gen speed...before the speed that we know came out...

 

[goldwing2000]

Can't read the bit about the wing.

 

[txmzdspd2gen]

the wing on this partcular model is different than the new speed at least on the top of it..the endpart of it swoops up a bit creating a little push down while the big mouth channel the wind that pass thru the rear windows to stabilize the wind and create smooth flow...i really like the way they MS designed their aero kits cos you can see how they try to make it aerodynamic as possible..even the wheels has small holes next to the lugs to lessen noise..damn...so nice..

 

[goldwing2000]

Well, as long as you like it. That's all that matters!

SRT-4 (FWD)has a functional wing as well...remember the neons suspention set up(AKA Ass In Air) so verified by DCX (Chrysler) the spoiler is functunal once the car hits IIRC 140 and above to keep the ass end from geting airborn....but it is a popular mod for SRT-4 and Evo 8 owners to remove their wings to gain up to like 2 mpg and not stand out to Law Enforcement...I know a few people who swapped out body pannels and steel rims and put se(base model neon) or es(Base model lancer) badges on so beware....evos come with BOVs and SRT comes with BPV unless they get the mopar conversion....ok back on topic of scoop....If you get 2 small ones and put them on both sides then you can cut hood and airbox using the rubber trunk seal and that could be an alternative or get evo vents and place them behind(not directly over) the cai's filter so it pulls air thru fender in motion and not let water fall dirtectly on the filter while standing stil. If you want one for show then get a small one like the mini cooper with supercharger has....(Granted it is functional)


P.S. the hood scoop on srt-4 ($2300 hood!!!(shocked) ) is funtional as well....it primarly feeds air aiding in cooling of the turbine itself and secondary if you do the air box/hood mod ram air intake..see srtforums for more info on that.
