More air flow and thermal management

I like what you did there... Looks good man. On the brake duct units that mount to the backside of the spindle, did you make those or are they the ones at ISC? Also... Is there any reason you have the two ducts for the oil cooler dumping in-front of it rather than making a shroud and attaching them it 'directly'?

It is a trick. they are revalved Koni Sports with DIY extended travel sperical ball top mounts and 2-1/4" 700/400 hypercoils. They were rusty so I painted them.
Shock upgrade is high on my list when funds become available. These have worked well for a long time and years ago when I made the setup there wasn't much of anything available that was better.

I bought 4 of these.
NACA Ducts - 3" to 2-1/2" NACA Duct Adapter
I heated them and formed them and cut them to more or less fit two per opening on the GV lip spoiler, pop riveted them to the opening in the spoiler and black siliconed up the gaps.
The ABS sensor mounts directly where I have the hose connected. it would have to be a bit different with ABS.

Bob, i'm just about to pick up some spindles from Kurt to build very similar brake ducts. I helped fabricate some for my friend's Pro3 racecar that are similar but a little more to them and 3" instead of 2.5"
Also, i have been thinking about where to put a damned oil cooler and that was the exact spot that kept rolling through my head.
I need to talk to you about welding some aluminum. I need a better outlet on my compressor and i'm not paying 50-60 bucks for the ATP adapter.

I can weld on an outlet no problem.

I would almost be inclided to enclose the oil cooler to maximize frlow through it from the ducts, but then you would be missing out on the cooling from the rest of the air moving over it.
Something to think about I supose
Looks good though!
