Yayo Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 wuts up all, ok so no Leggy yet, but soon. anyways I may be alone on this but i really like the hood without the scoop. It gives the car a nice smooth look. Don't get me wrong the scoop is awesome and it helps in the intercooler but look: Hanger's http://legacygt.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29891 Don't tell me to get the base model then to get the hood, hehe.... but seriously lets all close our eyes and imagine.... Any color leggy, blackout headlights, FMIC, dropped and a clean smooth 2.5i hood. heh? feedback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elGT Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 I love the hood scoop, it's my favorite part of the car. I wish there were scoops in the fenders, doors, roof, and all over the car. Oh yeah, if you want a smooth hood then get the 2.5i -- hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yayo Posted April 11, 2006 Author Share Posted April 11, 2006 yea i guess i don't know cause i never had one, i drive a Nissan Spec V so i didn't even know what a hood scoop was until i looked at Subaru. maybe once i get behind the wheel i'll fall in love with the look and want to get a larger scoop, till it sticks out of my hood like a periscope. but... i'm not knockin the idea... i've become infatuated with Hanger's car.

laz Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 IMHO the scoop is the soul of the GT. It would be like castration withouth it. Only good reason to get rid of it is if you go to a FMIC, but even then someone around here posted that there is a double purpose for the scoop and that it actually cools the turbo down as well. Once you get it you'll never want it without a scoop. The SPEC V is a nice car and all, but respectfully, it has nothing on the LGT!!!

rallispec Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 former spec V owner here. And yes, the scoop rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TYNY Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 even toyota rav4's and 4runners have scoops - just for looks i think, everyone wants them, it's the latest fashion, don't ya know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deneb Posted April 11, 2006 Share Posted April 11, 2006 Based on the air distortion I see sometimes from warm air venting out of the scoop, I would think going 'scoopless' on the LGT could be detrimental to engine health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mkaresh Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 Can you enjoy driving a car that lacks torque steer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yayo Posted April 12, 2006 Author Share Posted April 12, 2006 lacks torque steer? not the Spec V.... if u don't hold on to the steering wheel as soon as you shift you'll slam right into the sidewalk........(not personal experience) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EddieWan Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I too am one of the few who likes the smooth no scoop look. I go for a more classy look rather than a sporty look. But to each their own, nothing wrong with the scoop look either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The LGT is a bit boring in that it actually goes straight when you hit the gas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taka taka Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 An RSX owner told me that my hood scoop looked silly and that it didn't serve any real purpose At the green light my wagon showed him how silly his little car was. Then on the freeway too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm with you -- the hood scoop makes the GT. Get a Mazda -- the MS6 was designed with you no-hood-scoop-wanting-consumers in mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vincedog3 Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I like the scoop. Looks so much better than the WRX or WRX STI scoop ever could. It looks like it was shaped into the hood, not just attached like others. WRX cars included at least 02 to 05 anyway. For your car audio/video needs:D Audio Crafters IS it. In Pasadena Ca.

IwannaSportSedan Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 I would consider going scoopless on a GT, with a FMIC, and some air management around the turbo (so not to cook the inside of the engine bay. I would use the 3.0R-engined Outback hood, though, with the two raised details, to give it that much more of an attitude, but without a scoop. Might have to put vents in it, or the fenders, or something, just to keep the engine bay ventilated with that hair-dryer in there, though... which goes against the whole smooth sleeper look of deleting the scoop. And if you keep the scoop with a FMIC, I think it would be cool to create some sort of a ram air airbox in place of the TMIC, even to fit the engine cover over, to look somewhat intentional...

Ric Posted April 12, 2006 Share Posted April 12, 2006 The Mad Max Interceptor was based on a 1973 XB GT Ford Falcon Coupe. (http://www.madmaxmovies.com/cars/interceptor/history1.html) The car in the background looks like a current model Ford Falcon modified by FPV into a "BF GT" http://www.fpv.com.au/upload/image/616_1x24x2003114318AM.jpg http://www.fpv.com.au/index.asp?link_id=2.166 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
