put a hood scoop on the van today, figured id make it somewhat functional so i cut a hole in the hood, attached it to the hood with 3m tape and some sheetmetal screws, jbwelded the underside of the screws to make sure they dont come out then rtv'd all the way around it like caulk, and re sprayed the hood with black bedliner paint,lol! should make for some cooler temps
It's different; but then Mini Van Owners are a BREED apart from all others.
So when are you going to take it to the track ?

Hopefully, you'll be there on November 22.
I should have a new trans in the wife's Mini. Maybe we could meet up.

yeah im gonna be there for that. we have to get together and go beat up on some locals with the mini's,lol! what you have done to your's?
Should channel rain and roadspray onto the dizzy and wires very effectively.
well it has a mesh metal screen to stop anything, its painted black so you cant see it barely, already has some bugs stuck to it,lol! , i had a ss style hood on a stratus 2.4 with a similiar scoop in the middle of the hood and water or anything was never really a issue, maybe in a really hard rainstorm it mite become a issue but i dont see it being a problem really. ive had the stratus in some pretty hard rain storms and even snow and never was a problem

Yes, I agree.....Turbo mini van owners are a whole nuther breed.....
but that's a good thing
Great to see another "hood scooped" mini
I use my Hemi/Dart scoop to feed the turbo fresh air
I removed the weather strip from top of the firewall to let in some air and Bryan (DAVE) cut a hole in the driver's front fender (outer & inner) to let in some more. If this does not work I will be Shimming the rear of the hood like we did back in the old muscle cars days.
