I thought I saw somewhere- someone suggesting that we cut out the stock B5M body's side scoops? The scoops' positionings look right and the right side scoop looks like it lines up with the motor so should it stream cool air straight on the motor? OR would it be disastrous, weakening the body? Any tips or advices will be appreciated! Pic is attached for reference.

Cut it out and create a flap that directs the air down into the hole you created. Does not look pretty but we are racers looking for results, right?
