~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted April 21, 2009 Share Posted April 21, 2009 Looks kinda stealthy don't you think ? Fits nice and great finish.....reminds me of Gumballs one he fitted a while back Last TMIC style scoop took "a hit for the team" on the KH straight & was forcibly removed by my goodself before it flew off of its own accord Pics http://calum-shand.fotopic.net/p57661272.html http://calum-shand.fotopic.net/p57661289.html Cheers Cal p.s good price & quick delivery too Link to comment

ryan_gwa Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 That looks almost standard, I like that alot! Link to comment
mystery machine Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Looking good Cal and i bet you bonnet doesn't flap about now on the motorway... Is this a known issue with Scoobies? I've noticed some movement in my bonnet at motorway speeds, particularly driving into the wind... Link to comment

Yes..it's especially bad when you have a fmic. Fitted my vent to replace the scoop and the bonnet doesn't flap about anymore Link to comment
cullenmin Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Fitted my vent to replace the scoop and the bonnet doesn't flap about anymore Nor does mine Can you see much into the engine bay Cal? Any pics looking in? Rich Link to comment

spot2 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Cal, Looking great, nice and subtle. Did you fit the front-mount yourself? and did you run it before with the top-mount? I am having a problem keeping scoops on the car (seagulls 2- scoob 0) and fancy the idea of the losing the scoop completely but already feel the car is a tad 'weak' lower in the rev range and don't want to worsen the situation. Has the driving experience changed markedly? (My car is currently running approx 290/290 at the mo') regards Graham Link to comment
mystery machine Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (seagulls 2- scoob 0)What happened there, Graham? Link to comment
braveheart Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 Looking good cal, I had to do away with mines, was seeing cracks in the paint from the stress it was taking when giving it some beans... Chris Link to comment
sma01 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 looks good cal, might have been tempted with that if my new one wasnt already on order.... scott Link to comment
spot2 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 What happened there, Graham? Unbelievably twice now whilst on 'spirited' runs around Caithness I have had the misfortune of hitting some very large seagulls. The first time, 90% of the scoop tore clean off and the big 'seaside rat' cracked the windscreen on it's way to birdie heaven! The second time (only days after buying a second hand WRX scoop, I had been using an STI replica whilst I located an original) I was travelling on exactly the same stretch of road when, I can only think a disgruntled family member of NO.1 seagull took aim at my bonnet and successfully tore the entire thing off. This one at least had the decency to miss the windscreen......................... in hindsight maybe the score should read Scoob 2-0 Seagulls!! Link to comment
b4z Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 if u dont mind me asking mate where did u get the scoop am after one my self Link to comment

I really shouldn't laugh, but the way you wrote that got me creasing up! Suicide seaguls on their way to birdie heaven..... never let it be said that extremists don't work in mysterious ways!

ciaranrb5 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 Looks sweet Cal. Prefer the Seibon Carbon badboy myself although I may be somewhat bias in that Dept. Link to comment
~ ~ Cal ~~ Posted April 24, 2009 Author Share Posted April 24, 2009 Not been able to reply for a while folks....... Cannot make Inverness as I have a wedding unfortunately Imy ! I know that god damn door needs sprayed but it doesn't really bother me - was like that when I bought it and silver is a bitch to colour match supposedly Did you fit the front-mount yourself? and did you run it before with the top-mount? I am having a problem keeping scoops on the car (seagulls 2- scoob 0) and fancy the idea of the losing the scoop completely but already feel the car is a tad 'weak' lower in the rev range and don't want to worsen the situation. Has the driving experience changed markedly? (My car is currently running approx 290/290 at the mo') It was fitted before I got it but I have an unusual spec ( JDM STi engine from a Bugeye mated to a WRX 5 speed box with uprated clutch)........the TD05-16G spools slighty later but it parties real hard high in up in the rev range. I kinda like the wait and then the huge kick in the erse tbh. Never fitted it myself but have splenty of how to guides if you need them. My last bugeye spooled very early on a pissy TD04 but run out of puff @ 5.5K. Great punch of out bends but not that quick after that. Cheers Cal Link to comment
