WRX scoop on a pro

gregrego said:
do they make top mounts for the pro5? and if so how much and where can i get it?

No. You would have to custom make it. althought i don't see a reason why you would want that.

my reason is to be differant.. there isnt any protege with a top mount , i am not going for a really fast car.. its more a show car and everyday driver car.. the reaction i am lookin for is when i pop my hood they see a intercooler right in there face.. and a turbo further down..


just got back from body shop, he quoted me about 200, but told me to finish the turbo kit with tmic before he paints it.. he doesnt want to paint it, then i have to modify thehood again and have to repaint it.. my turbo parts should be comming in this week .. so the project begins this weekend..
 
I can't wait to see the kit with the TMIC, it should look awesome. Props to you for doing something different, it looks good so far (the scoop).

Ditto!! I smell a how-to in the future...

What about the turbo thats on the mazdaspeed 6? its a large turbo, but could its top mount intercooler be swapped to the p5?
 
just so you know, i'm watching this thread very closely... waiting to see if it can be pulled off.

I always thought you photochopped that scoop in your sig as a joke. Not my cup of tea (boom02)

sorry but this hood is (rice) it' EVOed, STied, carbon, and has hood pins. I bet the only thing doing anyhting on that jumble you call a hood is the evo scoops.
 
Oh and I'm happy to hear tat this thread owner's scoop came out to not be rice. I'de love to see your one of a kind topmounted Protege. My TII has a rubber lip that attatches to the edge intercooler(no gaps between hood an TMIC) so you may want to do that for an added performance boost (just use some old weather striping)
 
Nice...I have had the same idea since my co-worker got his WRX last year (was just waiting on his CF hood to get ordered)...it looks great and pretty much re-affirms my wanting to do this for sure now. Mine will be just for ram air as the 5 will not see any boosting.....that's what the Miata will be for. :)
And that Yellow Speed w/the Evo vents & Sti scoop...hot air out then right back in again!?!??! Noooo...please tell me that's fake. Either way, it's not the best looking thing...and def not functional.
I wanna see the TMIC project...keep us up to date!
