Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum and driving in general, don't worry about telling me not to race yet till i get more experience because that is what i plan on doing, wait a few years to start racing. I am gonna buy a 3rd Generation Rx7 soon and i was just wondering about a certain mod. I have always loved muscle cars especially Mopars, and i was just wondering, how hard would it be to put a Bug Catcher scoop attached to the induction system on a RX7? it would be mainly for looks, but it would probably serve some purpose wouldn't it?
I am new to cars so please go easy on me if i am completely wrong
Cheers,
Dean

welcome to AF!

i believe the rx7 forum will be more help than anyone on here, but i guess we will see. hope you enjoy it here.

what's a bug catch scoop?? u mean like a hood scoop....if so it would look good on it...but i guess i gotta see what type ur talkin about

Umm... they normally put them on muscle cars, i have never seen an import with one. If you have seen F&F ( I Hate that Movie!), there is one on the charger at the end. Its like a big metal intake thingy that opens when you rev the car. Hope that helps.

oh nooooo....don't do that :nono: won't look good at all...and i don't think it'd serve a purpose...if u wanna see how it looks...go to the graphic manipulation forum and ask them to do a photochop 4 u

ok, even if you don't think it will look good, it would be different..... and i asked would it be do-able, would it?

yes it is do-able...i don't think u'd like it though...but like i said...go to the graphic manipulation forum and ask them to do a photochop 4 u so u can see how it would look

To understand why i'd like it, i'd like your opinion then.... I love the raw power, and the induction scoops of muscle cars.... But i am a fan of technology, so i love the handling and number of things you can do to an import, so i was looking for a mix in between..... that was the best thing i could come up with... got any ideas? It must sound stupid, but i don't want to be flamed about it (i'm not saying you have) thanks
p.s. thanks for the welcome

One, It'll look like shit, and two, I doubt it would really even do anything for the car. Are you saying you want a blower or exposed throttle bodies, or just a hood scoop? Anyways, seeing that the RX-7 is a rotary, I dont even see how it would work to set it up like that

it would be feasable to do unless it was a TT model and u did like the Subarus and put a top mount intercooler...but still...it won't look good...i personally like the stock look of rx-7's myself

thats fair enough, do you think it would look good on any other kind of import?

Honestly...no. Not really. And if you love Mopar and that stuff so much, but want Import like handling andd technology, why not get a Neon SRT? Or get a Supra or RX-7 and try to drop in one of the those engines (Im not a fan of domestic, so I dont know anythign about them)

Spend the cash on something else... the 7 is a beautiful car by itself, don't ruin it..

I agree...

why don't you get a trans am and upgrade the handling as much as possible. you then have raw power and nice handling

the new WS6's handle pretty well. Work the suspension and it's a lot less like a boat.
