I have to admit, I do like that Jess and I'm not a fan of scoops, can we see a pic of the whole car with it on?

Hi Jess,

 

Noticed JUE at end of reg... Same as mine, then looked and our plates are very similar F790 JUE... Do you know if there's a reason for this or it's just chance?

 

Oh, bonnet scoop's nice, i just have an issue with getting air from engine on my legs... Turbo's sat inches from my feet, so it gets a touch warm there!

 

Cheers

hi,maybe your car was registered at b'ham like mine and they have a book of numbers?there is another hood which was parked near mine at stoneleigh this year with same letters and very near numbers.will be at stafford show if you want a chat.

regards,jess.

there was a chap on here who had the same number plate but with 1 numer different. mine was 154 his was 153 the rest being the same. We had both reg'd at avonmouth at a similar time so i must have been the next one with a h reg on their list.

 

PS like the scoops and you can never go wrong with yellow

good idea using l200 scoop, looks good. should in theory be iva safe if anyone needs it as it's from a mass produced vehicle, but don't quote me on that bit lol

[Guest scrabster]

bit of an update,combonation of bonnet scoop and forced air ducting had...................................................................................................................................................................................no effect whatsoever,bummer. .just had a thought,the ally cowling i made for the forced air is probably stopping the air from the bonnet scoop from having any effect on the carbs so i have binned the cowling and routed the ducting to blow air under the carbs and im now going to make some sort of channel under the scoop to direct the air to the top of the carbs.if this dont work then there is one zero for sale

regards,jess.

how much for the Zero? pmsl

how much for the Zero? pmsl

wont be worth much unless someone takes the hammer of me.

Before you go ape with the hammer -- try turning your lovely yellow scoop round to face rearward (if poss.)If it ain't doing any good ramming air in ,maybe it'll drag air out. Worth a try,it's air movement in the engine bay that will reduce temp. not just stuffing more in,HTH.

JES can we have some pics of what is ducted where. Or get another hoody to take a look at it.

 

Will you be at Stafford so we can have a look see at the prob?

 

Some one may be along with a maths formula on how thermo dynamics work

Hot air rises.... Does that help?

[Guest Spencer Griffiths]

I am looking at getting my manifold camcoated inside and out with silver polished ceramic coating. Reduces the under bonnet temps really well and keeps the hot air in the manifold which will increase BHP.
