Later; Title: Re:Over the Roof Scoops Post by: fiero1 on March 03, 2003, 03:32:58 pm Hey Gary,im coming out of hybernation one last time i hope......@!#@! winter... Im going to ask you a question to which may sound stupid but these scoops this price is this for the pair???
Title: Re:Over the Roof Scoops Post by: FieroBUZZ on March 04, 2003, 10:04:36 am Okay, I can't post a pic but I'll put it on the page I linked to.
Claude, I did not ask, but I would assume that's for a pair. Title: Re:Over the Roof Scoops Post by: Fieroflyer on March 04, 2003, 01:23:24 pm Has anyone ever tested these to see if they are an improvement or just for looks. I like them but aren't those vents designed for heat to escape not let air in. If using wouldn't you require some venting through the center of the deck lid or something to help cool engine bay. If they are ok then how much in Canadian funds not that funny yankee stuff.

Here is an image for you, this is on a car!! hehe. I sound like a dumb ass. Feel like one too :D But, Theres the pics! Or the one thats on his site (http://www.grinnin.0catch.com/skoop.jpg) And to answer FieroFlyers question. I think they would be an improvement because if you think about it, the air will be forced in to them (which is cool air) and will force the air over the engine and out the bottom, more of less like a ram air affect Title: Re:Over the Roof Scoops Post by: fiero1 on March 13, 2003, 04:04:02 pm :PIf you want to see what these look like on a Fiero go to the GTA link ,click on CLASSIC FIERO OWNERS GROUP INTERNATIONAL then click on FIERO AT RED RIVER..............it's the last picture
Title: Re:Over the Roof Scoops Post by: ddroger on April 05, 2003, 06:17:09 pm :P I hate to be a wet blanket; but I think that both configurations of the scoops are neither attractive nor
efficiently-designed to smoothly duct air down into the compartment. Couple that with the idea that they would be forcing air in opposite to the designed flow path & I'd say its "style" over substance. Remember that the air under the car is pressurized, and that's why GM used the top vents as exits. Don |
