The 80s called and want their scoop back. Real dated mod that. The engine looks like it needs disarming...red or blue wire?
Otherwise could be a decent machine.

Question.. are the T16 engines marginally too high to fit in the ZS ? It's not the first one I've seen with the bonnet hinges raised slightly. Doesn't sit flush with the wings.

Bonnet lifters for airflow.

The engine bay does look a tad untidy to say the very least.

The bonnet scoop is a bit pointless, on an imprezza it would push air into the air filter, on the T16 it just puts air onto the top of the engine and interfere with the airflow through the grill, maybe that's why he needs the lifted hinges.

the scoop on an impreza is for the intercooler, poor design though. Air filter is behind drivers side headlight.
