my v8 scoop don't move at all, only had it up to 186km\h tho, will see in sept how it handles manfeild.

do you have a carbon bonnet for it to move alot?

Nah its a cheapo plastic one on a normal alloy bonnet. Going into the wind or a decent cross wind and the front edge that overhangs the base waves a lot at 180-190+

Kinda cool but a little distracting, when I got it put on the idea of doing 180+ round a track more than once in my life hadnt seriously entered my head.

This is what happens on the track when it does go bye bye..... ;D and one screwed bonnet, was the perfect excuse to go carbon fibre. Still got a big scoop, just carbon fibre and massive bolts holding it down this time round haha

Another mate of mine who is a member on here, she has this on her v8 wrx. Looks the piece and I like.....

I have been a little concerned about it coming off but it seems quite solid at the base, just very bendable at the front edge.

I think it will split down the middle before it comes off the bonnet. I have been considering going back to the stock scoop for track anyway and just keep the big scoop when its driven on weekends.

Along the leading edge is where it failed on mine, I didn't inspect it often and it looked like a crack had formed to which lead the scoop completely failing and bending backwards on the main straight. It didn't come off completely but flew backwards where it was still bolted down to the bonnet on the back of the scoop. As u can see in the pic, ul see a section of the bonnet where the scoop bolts on has warped back as my scoop was literally sitting on my windscreen and me ****ting bricks as I couldn't see anything coming up to a hairpin corner haha

[Johnnynz]

Ah yep I see what you mean, makes sense.

Might have to look into CF, I do actualy like the bigger scoop.

i bought a v8 1 off tm asked the panelbeater to bolt it and use a adhesive,obviously he just bolted it with the front 2 bolts breaking out of the scoop.a tube of araldite later and she aint going nowhere now ever looks rugged as but i couldnt care less about looks.just a idea

im pretty sure there is a version 8 down in chch with front mount and vented bonnet as a pose to scoop.

Add jdm style rims and it looks very understated and very hot.
