The Official VR6 Engine Swap (Page 37/73)

Ok, here is where I need all of your help...
I'm shopping for side scoops for the car. They have to be functional for the cold air intake. My tastes are pointing me towards the AusFiero stage 2, but as we all know, they are not available. Anyone have any ideas for similiar types of scoops? I'm not a body guy, so I can't make my own.

I don't know if he was able to get them made again but I would try to get the ones from Germany. They are similar to the stage 2s. I think its the fiero warehouse that has some that are pretty nice. Or go with the ones archie sells. Those are the only ones I can think of right now.

These are the only pics I have of the side scoops.

I'd like to see how the finned ones look on a Fiero. The second one down is nice, too.

there is a "show off" thread in general and I think there may be a car in there with those scoops.

Thanks for showing them on the cars. The white coupe is the type I will probably go with.

It is so hard to keep up on the progess this summer. Every spare chance I get to work on the car, it is usually a nice day and I go out and enjoy it. I do have a few boxes of parts left to put on the car and then after it is all back together, I want to do a complete post of completed pics of the swap(top to bottom). Maybe a driving video too. I did promise myself that I will have the swap 100% completed within one year of the start, though. The winter months are real easy to spend 10-15 hours a day on the swap because there really is nothing else to do in NJ when it is miserable outside.

I know what you mean, I can't tell how many times I've made a part of some sort or another 3 or 4 times when the first one would have worked just fine!!!
