does any one have a roof scoop on their mx-3

Yep, here's the pic.

sure looks nice and original, modern too way better than civic

it kind of looks like the one i have but mine has rounded off corners not square , just so it matches the rest of the curves of the mx-3 it gives it better looks. at least thats what i think. But that one looks quite nice i have to say

That's tight but it sucks when you have a sun roof.

whats the point though? Its jut adding drag.

in rally racing, i think it's the driver's AC.

ya in rally racing it is actaully hooked up properly, but im guessing this isnt. dont get me wrong it looks really good but its just adding crazy drag. to me it just lloks liek one of the hood scoops, and some one that is pretty imaginative had a good idea. looks good man

I have a Roof scoop on my mazda and I have put my oil cooler up inside. It's a affective way to use a roof scoop, it also how the rally cars place theres.

That is a damn good looking car

With such a low profile I would think that the parasitic drag added by the scoop is actually rather small It's mostly inside the boundry layer, and if it's exhausting inside the car then it's even less.

If the scoop is installed to be fuctional it doest not create that much drag that why you see them on a lot of touring, La Man, and Indy (Viper is one that has) type cars. Its a good mod if your going to make it fuctional but if you don't and you install it wrong wind will crack the bondo and fiberglass.

i have boughten one and am waiting to install it on my mazda.that oil cooler idea is a good idea, but what about rain? wouldnt that affect it as well. ne ideas on how to install my scoop?

I have placed my oiler cooler back alittle. I have also placed mesh grill to block water.

will just a mesh grille stopthe watter from getting in? but that is a great idea..... u wouldnt be upset if i did the same thing w/ an oil cooler would ya? by the way can u email me some directions on how u installed the oil cooler bychance thanx<p>[ March 07, 2003: Message edited by: Nate Dog ]</p>
