Hi All

I seen a gt starlet the other day that had his air filter housed into the scoop. He has a front mount, so need for the scoop but what do people think of that ?

Nice car mind you :)

Cheers

cant be alot of room? also i would imagine it would suffer from heat soke alot, best behind the grill in my opinion!

He cut the bit out before the scoop and it did look cool but didn't know if it would be any good as it is on top of engine really but i could see it getting a lot of cold air there though

Yeah it would get alot of cold air, but it would get alot of hot air too from the engine, also it would get soaked aswell if it was raining. I know it would get wet if it was behind the grill aswell but not half as much as in the scoop! behind the grill is the only place for it IMO..

it would be good to make some use out of the scoop when you have a fmic. what about keeping filter in stock position and make up a air feed from the scoop directly into the filter?

Iv seen some Pulsar owners stick oil coolers in place of the top mount. Could maybe do the same for a starlet?

Yeh I agree. I think there is a member on here from Ireland that is selling a white Glanza with TD04 set up and he has got a blue oil cooler sat where the top mount used to be. I will have a quick serch.
