[LEE_RB5]

[WR1 Bro]

I don't know what it is.... but I love seeing car pics on the forum.

Great cars - top blokes

Think you need a bigger bonnet scoop Mr lee_RB5 ?

Nice RB5. The Wheels look very nice on classics

I am thinking about getting the sti8 scoob and also a air intake scoob for the left side vent, but as i have seen with adams at high'ish speeds the bonnet lifts!

this is true, and quite scary when you've once had an experience with a bonnet lifting and smashing into the windscreen at speed !!

catch failure

I had a STI8 scoop on my P1 when i still had a TMIC.

looks great from the front but terrible from the sides, they dont truly suit a classic IMHO. The DR motorsport item thats the same shape as o.e but taller is nicer.

At speed, it makes the bonnett lift and shudder a LOT more than a facelift classic scoop. Its very disconcerting but i have not heard of one actually opening.

Looks Mean from front -




Pants from side -

markymark is wrong - that bonnet vent looks the bollocks.

One like that lee, thats what you want fella

[marky mark]

I thought it did at first Poesy, but the novelty soon wears out.

They suit the new cars a lot better with the agressive 'sledgehammer' looks.

The classics are a little more blade like and they look out of place.

Also Wiewing the road is a consideration. You sit a lot lower in a RB5 than a WR1 and it takes a long while before you understand where your nose is!

catch failure

it was on my saxo. i'd had a bump and shut the bonnet, it was completely shut and on the catch, but somehow came loose and although wasn't going particularly quickly it came up, smashed the windscreen/dented the room, quite scary when you can't see where you're going.

[danr55]

looks good IMO

[LEE_RB5]

Thats the look i was going for, air intake on the left vent and the 22b vent on the other side, dr motorsport do some good prices as thats where i got my p1 lip from.

[marky mark]

All the vents and scoops you see there are from milsport. very good quality but come unpainted.

[SPIKE LIKE MIKE]

dont put the big scoop on mate,they look absolute PANTS on the classic shape.

I wouldnt mess about with teh bodystyling at all on an RB5,the shape is much better than the "blobeye"-PROPER SCOOB shape
