Love the passion! But let me help you out. 1. You bought a non turbo, so no intercooler. 2. You are correct, scoops look amazing, but are bad for your reasoning. Makes the hot air not escape. 3. Air comes up from under the car, actually if you still have it, there is a scoop under the car that forces air upwards. Advice if you want to use scoops. The original aftermarket scoop is super rare, but it was just on the filter side, and was a sealed off intake. The scoop air went directly into the air filter and only that. So for the left scoop if you made a channel that separated it from the rest of the engine..you could use it.. Option 2, seal off the bottoms so they are for looks only. Love the passion about the car! You will learn as you go and become an expert in no time! Ps, please no lambo doors
Amazing mate, good ole writeup! I was actually thinking about blanking off the scoops at the bottom as I do quite like them, how they look. 🤣. I mean I absolutely love the car, I've just collected a JapSpeed exhaust for her too, which will be going on shortly, hopefully will get a video out in the next few days for it... Can't wait! Also have been told many opinions about lambo doors from diff people, I see they are very controversial, it's not something I'll be doing yet, have a lot of other things to sort on her first, but I have to admit I love the look of it myself so is probs something I will be doing eventually. Of all the cars I've driven in my time, this is by far the most fun, comfortable and stable (handling wise) thing I've ever driven lol... love it!!
Yes man your correct, I didn't notice at the time of recording. it's so strange, on the v5 doc it says GT, in my head that means turbo? idk 😆 but yeah I was looking for the turbo and couldn't find one anywhere, posted in a Facebook group and about 400 people confirmed it was indeed a NA. Regardless, still an awesome car and I couldn't be more happy with her!
@@dmc_autos You're right, usually T does indicated a turbo nowadays... it's a great car and looks better than 99% of anything on the road now. I've wanted one for ages. I've subbed and will be following your work.
Haha thanks so much man I really appreciate that! I do agree, this modern stuff just doesn't have anything on these older cars at all... got some massive plans for this ole girl! can't wait!! 😉
yeah, she's uk spec, no turbski sadly, but, the NA is alot louder, and people say that they are a bit more bulletproof of an engine, less to go wrong etc... and I agree, the colour is gorgeous imo! Zircon Blue, think it was a limited edition colour, not many of them about in this flavour!
OIIII BE NICE!!!! I'm joking 😂 it Is a bit of a pile but at the end of the day, I love buying bits of rubbish and fixing them up and getting them sorted and personally, I think it'll make a wicked project 🤣

It's confusing as hell to me lol, says 2.0GTi16 on it, but it's an na... I always assume gt is just a turbo lol😂
@@dmc_autos ahhh, I get the confusion. GT is not turbo, GT-S is turbo
Love the car. But it's not a 3SGTE, it looks to be a non-turbo 3SGE. No intercooler etc.

Looks good
Haha cheers mate! Yeah I am in love with it... its everything I've ever wanted for years now, and compared to what I've owned. it's luxury 😂
Going from a twingo to that must feel brilliant 😀
🤣🤣 your not wrong man... its like stepping out of a smart car and getting into a lambo... well... sorta 🤣
If it’s a Turbo it will be an Import, lovely colour by the way.
