[Mk2] [Turbo] THE FACTS ON AIR SCOOPS

[malcster]

FACT - Look ridiculous
FACT - Do nothing to cool the engine
FACT - Serve no purpose without a contained air box


FICTION - Will enhance your standing on the modification scene

Agree'd

The sit well with lexus lights and 18" wheels in the land fill.
Funtion over fashion.

my 2 goes to work 4 days a week and out maybe with the mrs if i take her out,
the fastest i drive is 70-80 and rarely do i go on motorways to do that ,so this drag factor does not come into it, i dont do track days i just appreciate the good looks of the car hence why i bought one,
its an n/a that really is quite quick if you ask me but it isnt a tubby it seems like everyone is speed obbessed yes i could build maybe a 450bhp car but when could i use it,
licence would be taken away in no time im sticking with the good looks, hey my n/a suits me down to the ground i get lots of looks from people and that suits me roll on when i can afford my 2 scoops.

[Cliff]

They've got scoops



And they've got scoops

[tarmac terrorist]

i like them and have one,also want this boot lid as well from the buddy club car:
thought you would like to see some pics of my scoop lol

[fearless]

thanks for the back up guys thought i was on my own, a bugati varon and a formula 1 car hmmm 2 very fast cars with scoops but thay must cause drag surely at 200 mph.

as i said you love them or hate them and i love them.

They've got scoops

And they've got scoops

Functional scoops... And were designed with them...

[^Trickster^]

Meanwhile back in the real world........

Lets get back to comparing our mr2s with fibreglassed stick on snorkels to a buggati veyron and a mercedes mclaren formula one car

You have to respect IMOC it never fails to produce the goods!

I have a wing like that on my car...

[fearless]

im not even going to go their with rear wings quite a few guys on here with them. lets just pick an item on somebodys car and slate it getting a bit silly now i think.

[fen666]

Each to their own I say ...... How many people have bodykits / different wheels / exhausts / lights / rear spoilers / painted and detailed engines etc Toyota must of spent millions developing the mr2, wind tunnel tests, performance and handling tests.... but we all love to add our own little extras just make our mr2 ours.

So go with the flow and dont knock other peoples styling (some may not be to everyones taste ) but I think we must all agree we love driving our mr2's

Well thats my opinion anyway .....

[fearless]

fen 666 well done that man exactly, i really dont like the 2 in standard form to be honest.

[redmr89]

scoops, periscopes, ears, whatever you call em. im not a fan. but as said its each to there own. and if every one drove the same standard cars it would be a boring world.

we wouldnt have inovation without ridicule.

[^Trickster^]

I totally agree, each to their own, after all, its not me that looks the idiot driving it, lmao
