IT TAKES PRETTY BIG BALLS TO GET A $20.00 JIGSAW AND CUT A HOLE THROUGH A 5 MONTH OLD BONNET.
I HAD TO MODIFY THE STANDARD SCOOP. I CUT OFF ALL THE REAR LUGS SO I DIDN'T HAVE TO CUT SUCH A BIG HOLE.
I CUT 2 X HOLES. I TOUCHED UP ANY BARE STEEL TO STOP ANY RUST.I GLUED RUBBER ANYWHERE THAT THERE WAS 2 X LAYERS OF METAL TO STOP ANY VIBRATION AND AND TAPED OVER IT ALL.
THE SCREWS ON THE FAR LEFT AND RIGHT ATTACH DIRRECTLY TO THE FACTORY LUGS ON THE SCOOP. THEY WERE DAM HARD TO LINE UP THOUGH.
I HAD TO MAKE UP BRACKETS TO HOLD THE SCOOP DOWN AT THE FRONT. ONCE TESTED, I THEN PAINTED THEM AND ALL SCREWS ETC.
I PUT THE INLAY IN PLACE, MARKED IT, AND CUT THE INLAY LARGER THAN THE HOLE SO YOU CAN'T SEE IT. I ALSO SPRAYED THE INNER EDGE BLACK SO YOU CAN'T SEE ANY BRIGHT YELLOW.
I ALSO BOUGHT THE GENUINE METAL INNER GUARD TO MAKE IT LOOK FACTORY. AND HOPEFULLY KEEP THE COPS HAPPY.
I THOUGHT I MIGHT AS WELL CHANGE THE INTAKE A BIT. IT FREED UP HEAPS OF ROOM. I WILL MAKE UP A BOX TO FORCE AIR INTO THE AIRCLEANER AND SEE WHAT HAPPENS. IT SOUNDS SO MUCH LOUDER NOW.
I DECIDED TO GET REALLY KEEN AND MAKE A FAKE STI INTERCOOLER MESH. THIS IS THE TEMPLATE.
WHATS REALLY COOL IS THAT THE MESH IS ANGLED AND THE LOGO STANDS OUT MOST IF YOU LOOK AT IT ON IT'S SIDE. JUST LIKE WHEN IT'S MOUNTED.
THE FINISHED PRODUCT. LOOKS PRETY FACTORY. THE BACK JUST STARTS TO LIFT AT
170KMS. GOOD REASON NOT TO SPEED.....
I ALSO USED THE SAME STAINLESS STEEL MESH ON THE FRONT GRILLS.
ANY QUESTIONS JUST ASK
