Always good to know even though I never even considered this might be an issue. Its good that other members are thinking of the right things to ask while I just sit here excitied about a new part for the fit.

 

The colder cowl air isn't ducted into the air box .... yet. That's something we're going to possibly look into once this product is finalized, but I will tell you, there is very little room on the GE, due to the brake system reservoir.

Worst case scenario, you can cut a small piece of plyable foam to fit the scoop opening and place it in there when it rains. The airbox would still pull in air from the driver's side of the engine bay.

 

Thanks for the info about possible water issues. The question came up a number of times concerning the GD scoop but many have noted no problems.

Here are a couple pictures of what we'll call the 'pre-production' part. The parts are the first out of the mold and have no clear coat so the production parts will have a much better finish.
We'll have to test this again just to make sure there are no other adjustments needed.

O yea I'm excitied. Let's get this thing on a fit and get some pics.

 

as far as the rain goes, its more of drip since the water has to sorta travel to the right, down into the cowl which by then it should be more of a drip i think. Im sure if u aimed the hose right up the scoop u would have problems with water soak. also it depends on what kind of intake you have. if you have home made short ram intake and your filter extends real close to the brake reservoir, there's a possibility the filter will get damp. I had home made sri w/ the prototype scoop but my filter was short as well as the pipe so it never got wet, even during heavy rains. if u have a prm intake (which i have currently), that would help w/ shielding the weather.

 

Dayum, that part looks awesome...I can't wait ta' see all the wrinkles ironed out and being sported on some GE's...

 

Ok you can mark me down for this, it looks awesome! I think that makes me #4 correct me if im wrong...

 

Joining thread...

 

looks awesome in CF. bump interests up.

 

How's this coming?

 

I haven't been contacted by Rogue, so I'm betting he's still working it. Let's be patient ... everyone here will be informed as soon as possible. Thanks.

 

Ummm... Yea. I wasn't talking to you. Thanks anyway.

O sorry I didn't know you were the official spokes person for rouge. From now on I'll just send you my pms for any updating I might be needing.

 

Wow, way to be a dick. He's the one whose car they are testing the prototype on. Since its not through with testing if he hasn't heard from rogue about it then no one has probably. He was just trying to give you an answer.

 

---Edited by XJP5--- , you won't receive any further updates from me. I'll just PM the members that ask, directly.



Don't worry about it Jamy. This forum has a good group of people, but there are always a few morons that have no courtesy or professionalism, and this guy is a perfect example. This is a good way to drive away the few remaining vendors we have here. Keep up the good work Hatch!

 

I think he was kidding...he didn't edit his post...I'm being optimistic here, ofcourse

Can't wait for this to come out though

 

Ok guys come on... I was kidding..... I know rogue will post up whatever updates he has. My post was intended to be a ”bump" more than really needing information.

Why are you guys so sensitive?

 

OK, as far as I'm concerned, it's water under the bridge. Let's move on and get back to why we're all here. Hopefully Rogue will have an update on the progress of his composite work.

 

i know im kinda late here :/and my at&t service is really slow on my phone so i dont have time to go thru all the pages one by one but is there still a way to get the cowl scoop for the GD fit?

 

+1!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Sorry I haven't provided an update lately. I've been doing some work on the molds and I do need to get a part to XJP5 to test the fit, I just haven't been able to make over his way. I'll do what I can to get the part tested within the week and give an update.

I do have some GD scoops in stock right now. If anyone wants one the price is $100 including shipping and you can just PM me if you would like to purchase one.
