i'm going for a roof scoop guy's

the style like on a 5th gen hood >smile.gif> but then again i'm thinking of going for the rally look at the moment.......

and as for why, if you driving your car on the track you don't want the extra drain on the motor with A/C pumping........

and them i can match my roof with my hood >smile.gif>

Life is for living, and you don't get a second chanceTake care now !!

Well won't there be resistance from the air going into the cabin? Maybe >confused.gif> ?

i still think its more for looks, but it is sexy

To live, is to sufferTo survive, thats to find meaning, in the suffering....
its a totally looks thing

there is no "arodynamic performance" outta it
i like them if there done right

yea your 3sgte is cool but ill stick to my 7agte
the old Mr2 had one didnt it, but wasnt it for the air intake?

That would be cool, mount one, then run some piping for the air intake. Might not work to good but it would be different.

Well update us with some pics so we can see it finished.
not a very good picture, but you can see mine here........

the roof scoop is there for rally drivers to keep cool since they have taken the AC system out of the car to save weight. They do pay a penalty in drag, but they are either not at speeds where it would make too much of a difference or they decide that their comfort is worth the extra drag.

for us, its just for looks. i think that anything that doesnt serve an actual purpose on your car (i.e. make it go fast or stop fast) is rice. That being said, we are all guilty of a bit of rice here and there.

The one on perry190's car looks pretty good. Is it functional? and if so is there a way you close it up during rain?

Its Orville's Celica, i just drive it...
Any tricks to making them not loud? I prefer outside air to AC, but if it destroys my acoustics... meh.
my one isnt functional, but that said i have had the air con ripped out and larger lighter pulleys put in. so half way there :lol:

New Toyota project coming soon...
Scoops can look good if done properly, Perrys one shows that...
-Sorry for the brief thread hijack-
Coomer, sorry to hear about your car, what happened?! Vandals?! That's so pointless, you must be gutted...

ive kick this idea around alot latey cause its getting close to paint time you can do a little pop open window like a mini sun roof the is sealed when closed and you can open and shut it when ever. 4 water drain there are a few ways to do that just depends on how you set up your scoop.

here is an old pic of my car back in 2003
