Scoop? - Dave - 03-02-2006
Thinking about installing the euro hood scoop on my supra. It is functional in that it is designed to direct airflow toward the area between cyl 3 and 4, which are the hottest on the engine. Plus it looks pretty good. I haven't installed it yet,b/c I can't determine if I like it totally or not. Just wanted to see what you guys think...

YES YES YES HOLY CRAP YES!
<3 teh Euro Scoop.
- Mike - 03-02-2006
functional or not, i dont like it and wouldn't do it, but it is your car
- ScottyB - 03-02-2006
i think it looks kinda like an afterthought, but honestly your car is still so hot it wouldn't really do any harm

dont like scoops, but I may have to at some point if I continue racing my bitch. I say do it if you really need it, but arent you keeping it mostly stock? I wouldnt think the stock engine would have any problems with overheating.

I like it, DO IT!
- Dave - 03-02-2006
the car is stock for now. The next real power mod will be to drop in a 1JZ-GTE, at which point the hood scoop will become more pertinent.
- WRXtranceformed - 03-02-2006
Oof I dunno. Your car is too sexy as it is, adding a scoop might borderline on the ghetto.

nice photochop skilz! And for what it's worth, I'd go for it, but I think that one's too small :wink:

Photoshop?
He set the scoop down on the hood, took a picture, then took it off, took a picture.
Which is *precicely* what I would have done. Photoshop. Pssh.
- JohnC - 03-02-2006
I don't like it.

Don't you have a whole collection of ratboxes to hack up?
Leave that beautiful thing alone

I really like it better the way it is now.
- PDenbigh - 03-03-2006
I vote no, you don't want a wing b/c you like the smooth look, I say go w/o the scoop. If you have to have ventalation of the engine via the hood, go with something resessed.
- white_2kgt - 03-03-2006
put it on the roof

it's your car, but i don't really like the look. If you think the functionality is really worth it then go for it. Does it really get that hot?
- .RJ - 03-03-2006
Getting the scoop in wont reduce underhood temps - you'll need some sort of heat extractor vents toward the rear of the hood and possibly some ducting work through/under the front bumper.
- Nis01 - 03-03-2006
It upsets the lines of the car a bit, but for the function of the scoop I don't think its enough to avoid putting it on. It adds a little more aggressive aspect to the car.
I'd say go for it. :twisted:
