    So Far, Osnap! Is that turbo? Me: ( Why Yes It Is ) Nice car...

    The kicker is that it says "turbo all trac" on my spoiler and my Hks Bov is really loud....

    @Steve : Yes a new radiator cap is a good idea but I'll be buying an aluminum radiator after I fix my integra's...
    @James : Yea man I was really lucky I knew the area, It's one of those area's that have a lot of car places.

    After my car almost overheated... I replaced the thermostat, all fuses that say fan on it to find out... my freaking fan isn't turning on it's own... FTL! Took me about 2min's before I realized my fan wasn't spinning! It's wired to spin when you turn the key to "On" it works if you spin it by hand :cuss, so I'll be getting two 12" fans ASAP! And I should be getting the headlights soon so stay tuned!

    Also went to the junk yard a few weeks ago, an saw a st185 hood an got the vents and a Subaru hood scoop let me know what you guys think tho got them all for about 15 bucks.

    Woo I think it would look a lot more aggresive. Looks nice with the hood scoops.

    Use the small vents - if you must

    Burn the big one-
    1) It's not an STI!
    2) There's already HP air under your bonnet, unless it's sealed to an airbox or IC - air will
    actually try to get out through it at speed
    3) A dummy supercharger would look better, :hehe

    No offence to anyone, it's YOUR car - I just think the orignal is the best

    With Stig on this as well. But I do like those little vents. I don't know, for me I'd try going for a hood scoop/air inlet like Rev-Head's, Schmooot etc. From a design perspective they really flow with the body and compliment the hood. And I bet they function just as well as they look.

    Here's one I've found, I believe he's a member of the site?

    Yeah, that does look like it's part of the car and not just randomly stuck on, which is what we don't like to see.

    Congrats :thumbsup: That is a VERY nice looking scoop. Are you planning to do it yourself ?

    Not a fan of altering the original body, there's tasteful and a fine line to tacky

    This is one of the better examples

    The wing I don't care for, the vents still look "stuck on"

    Plenty more to study here - http://st162.net/forums/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=4531
