TCSchwa Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Got bored in class today and wondered what a WRX STi scoop would look like on an 850. I wouldn't mind doing this to mine if I could build a functional airbox under it and feed it directly to the innercooler. Let me know what you guys think.

the underlørd Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 WRX's are TMIC...Volvo's are more like FMIC..no real benefit..[ ducks ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yangotang Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I must say it doesn't look that bad! I once had a random dream one night of a WRX scoop on my car and it looked horrible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCSchwa Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 I was thinking as an actual air intake, not for the innercooler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thelostartof Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 wind noise will drive ya insane ... get a small low profile scoop over the filter.. or make one on the fender like vents on the side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StickThatClutch Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Logistically its going to be a nightmare to run any sort of air pathway if you position the scoop right there. Just pop the hood - it will clear itself up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragon17 Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 It doesn't look natural. Looks out of place, like it just quite doesn't belong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TCSchwa Posted November 10, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 Cool....Thanks for the honesty. I'll look into something else. I just wanna find a way of getting more air in there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azinwa Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 You'd have to put a shopping cart wing on the boot lid to even it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancetheman Posted November 10, 2005 Report Share Posted November 10, 2005 there's been a pic of a red S70 with a clean scoop, anyone have that and can post it?the hood dips down instead of having a scoop on top... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
