man i so wanted to do a cardboard bodykit for fun. just so i could go over a speed hump and it would all fall off. But yeh effort comes into that.
I had a couple of mates litter my car with electrical tape one day when I left them for 20 minutes. that was pretty funny. Racing stripes up the side, big HKS decal all sorts of shiz. The marks are still on my bonnet too

lol!

it would look ok if it was bigger and blended into the bonnet, without that other vent on the right...
Don't let the opinions of the average man sway you. Dream, and he thinks you're crazy. Succeed, and he thinks you're lucky. Acquire wealth, and he thinks you're greedy. Pay no attention. He simply doesn't understand.

to be fair, it wouldn't be ANTRX if we stayed on topic.

Rather than a scoop, what do people think of the idea of small vents in the front corners of the bonnet? I've been thinking for some time about that and had the idea that letting fresh air circulate around the area where the air intake and air box are may help to stop them heating up so much... and you couls put one on the other side to make it symetrical. Don't know if it'd work though. Any comments??

I too like vents as opposed to a scoop. Sydney Special Vehicles have vents for early-mid 90's falcon's. (EL GT I think). They are functional/unfunctional depending on what you want. They have three area's? inlayed with silver mesh. They also have cosworth sierra vent's which I think would look good on the front corner's of the bonnet. Although I would like to see them done/photoshopped on before I got it done.

The only TRX I have seen with a scoop that looked any good was the 1 that appears on the front page every so often, that has the VK group A scoop in it.
Your car may be able to go faster.
But I can go any where. except into a garage, underground carpark, bridge...

2 sticks and manual locking hubs. have to get out to drive it around
Good old Nissan.

KA's are the shit. According to all the info on the site, they are better then sliced bread and thats saying something.
