because I can't get cowl hood here i'm thinking about putting somthing like this scoop what do you think about it?




or maybe I should fabricate a hood ?

 

[content deleted - keep it to yourself next time]

 

It looks pretty tight as it is.

 

way too unsophisticated for a thirdgen. that would look at home on an old nova or chevelle, not a thirdgen. It looks like a cob job, and it does not seem that the car really needs anything like that. Just put a normal open element air cleaner on it and be done.

 

Please don't.

 

thank you guys

the reason I'm asking because my new setup will be for drag only and I need some air to flow under the hood

any idea?

 

As for the scoop, don't do it; I agree with what's been said above.

 

As for the scoop, no way dude. Howcome you can't get a cowl hood? shipping too much?

 

It's definitely different. Do you like it? I personally don't think it looks that bad.

 

yes it will cost me way too much

and there is no respectable fiberglass shop around my area

 

me I don't know I'm like 50% like it who need a scoop when drag racing any way

I want it because I thought the car will look better with it because I'm going to cut the hood

 

Maybe look into buying another scoop with a lower profile. You know, one that's not so tall and stands way out.

 

I think it's very ugly, but it should be effective at the drag strip.

 

As for the hood, I dont think it looks all that bad, considering what it would save you and how well it would fit your intentions. Just wanted to point out the clever website name those pictures belong too. Q8HP.com, good stuff.

 

I'll do a search maybe I'll find something better

that is encouraging

thanks man nice to hear your opinion

 

well are you able to get any aftermarket hood where you are? personnaly i dont like the scoop idea. i never have it just looks like a fake blower deal. i dunno, thats just my opinion. maybe you could order a generic scoop and cut a hole, and put a pastie on it? i dont know how available aftermarket stuff is for you.

 

what about something like a scoop that comes on the new versions of the Mustang Mach1? those look pretty cool i think

 

the shaker hoods? i havent seen a third gen with one but would like 2

 

thirdgens look nasty with scoops stickin out of the hood. just my opinion

 

I think it actually looks kind of cool?

 

Have you considered a carb bonnet, and route a pipe from there to a cold-air intake?

Carb bonnets: Carb Bonnets

 

Cleaned up the thread. Please stay on topic.

 

that doesn't look terrible in my opinion.. if you can't get a cowl hood, have you considered a ram air hood?

 

hehe it looks as a fake blower for me too and yes I can't have any type of aftermarket hood


cool idea I don't know I'll give it some thought

never saw them before

let me tell you something there is no parts at all for third gen here I usually wait for three to six weeks for parts to arrive from US

 

I'm not a big fan of the fake blower sticking through the hood. I don't know whats available in your area but there are plenty of hoods that look awesome on a third gen. My personal favorite is the RAII. Do you have an actual picture of your car?

 

no I don't have one now but you can see the one in my sig

as for the hoods I can't get any type here If I want one I have to ship it from US and that will cost way too much

 

I'm sorry, I thought you were looking for actual opinions, but apparently you were just looking for somebody to agree with you and blow a little sunshine up your ***.

Let me recind my prior comment and replace it with,
"That's sweet! I love it! It'll make your car the coolest one ever!"

How's that?

You asked what we thought in your first post, and in your next post you said it would be for drag only, so you've got two factors... appearance and functionality, and this is a classic case of the two working against each other. It's not our job to decide for you, it's yours. The best we can do is provide insight as to the pros and cons, which is what you got from this thread.

 

you completely misunderstand me man
you said it should be effective at the drag strip and that encouraged me to use it because as I said the car will be for drag only . I know you said that you think it's very ugly man most of the guys here have the same thought, it's my job to decide on it I understand

forgive my English man maybe the expression wasn't appropriate I don't know
sorry

 

what about something like what this guy is doing, with dual filters in the grill?

i like that idea, and it looks better in my opinion. wouldn't require any hood modification either

 

I love my fog light man and the car will be carbed

thnk you for your help

 

ahh i forgot about the carb, whoops well then, i'll go back to my earlier statement that the Mach1 shaker hoods look really good, might see if you can fab up something like that

 

I'll see what I can do

 

Dude i dont know where you are coming from. He asked if we liked it and most told him that it looks bad, and offered better alternitives. He has limited resorses so he will probly be making a hood for his car. Infact if i read it correctly he mentioned that he dosent know if he likes it or not.

Personly i think that square type hood skoops look good on third gens. Kinda like the old school snorkle, but rounded ones just dont match with the bodylines of the car. Good luck finding what you like.

 

x2

 

i say go with the carb bonnet. it looks good under the hood. my

 

Hi PF,

Newly joined, I'm looking for assistance with a hood clearance issue. I stumbled across the pic you posted in an old thread and thought I'd ask where you found one... It's exactly what I need to cover a Weber DGEV. Any help you can offer would be much appreciated!

Thanks,
Garth
