Found a TR6 for sale locally for $50. Which of course ended up with me getting a new grille, crash bar, and cxracing kit from therpmstore during memorial day sales. :) My CPE TMIC will be posted in the for sale section. This should make my car way happier this summer.
There is an equivalent "scoop" on the other side of the grill not in the pictures. I don't run a cold air box so I guess any benefit would be negligible, especially at speed.
I recently bought a BaysonR grille and sent it along with my lip and fog light bezels to get hydro-dipped in a carbon fiber finish.
While taking the bumper assembly apart, I noticed the intake scoop does a kind of loop around where it would connect to the stock airbox fresh air intake...
