Guest Stormbringerut Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I took a few pictures of my 1988. I really like this car and only take it out once a week or so. The interior is flawless.Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwack Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Sweet! Is it a reflection in the photograph or is there something on the hood along the driver's side (looks like a tach cover from a '69 Trans Am or GTO)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDirk Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 That is an excellent condition car, no doubt. How many miles are on it? I have the same question as Bushwack, what is on the hood? I was thinking maybe an intake of some sort. KDirk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mc_Reatta Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 Hope it's a functional hood scoop to supply cool outside air to an aftermarket air filter intake.Maybe it's just the lighting in the photo, but the gold pinstripe seems to clash with all the chrome bits. Maybe converting to gold trim or a silver or white pin stripe might look mo' better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vincent Vega Posted February 27, 2012 Share Posted February 27, 2012 The gold stripe is intended to match the tan interior. I too have a black/Tan. The gold stripe doesn't really clash. Does it have Suede seats? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Kitskaboodle Posted February 28, 2012 Share Posted February 28, 2012 I'm thinkin it's a real hood scoop since it is directly over the areawhere the air cleaner assembly is. Therefore, they must have cut a holein the hood for intake air. Just trying to figure out what hood that scoopis off of. Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Stormbringerut Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) Sorry for the slow response. The scoop was put on because my son a few years ago laid his Honda 500 down on the hood and the handlebar dented and scratched the area. The car was covered and I did not discover the damage for over a month. I decided to put in a cold air intake and added the scoop. The seats are leather and perfect. The drivers seat was covered with a sheep skin and I though it would be in bad shape when I bought it. I was very happy to find out it was perfect! The car had 122K on it when I bought it 3 years ago. It now has 133K. The only thing I need to do to make it perfect are find out why the yellow ABS light is on (and repair) and replace the AC compressor this spring.Mike.

Guest Mc_Reatta Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 If you share some more details about the scoop installation, like where you found the scoop, cutting the hole etc., we'll help you with you yellow light issue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bushwack Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 So its a functional scoop (or decorative)?If it is functional, I believe the (hidden) laws of Reatta ownership demand....DEMAND there be a supercharged engine under the hood that is served by that scoop.
