cdelena - Those brake ducts look great! I'm looking forward to the product of the collaboration between Ben and yourself.

Cedelena,

You should replace those white wireties with black ones.

Good question Scott and one I was about to ask the group AS autoxers myself.
"Does the brake ducting effect any SCCA A Stock class rules?"
No sense clobbering up a perfectly good AS charger.

Chris, did you cut the heat shield away so that the airflow is directed at the rotor directly?

9K - The prototype for the S2000 actually had the headlights in the faux front vents. When the final design was done they left the holes and simply put a cover on them.

COOL ducts....

Suggestion, brake pads operate within a certain optimum temperature range, depends on the type/brand pad. You might want to be able to adjust the air flow, so as not to overcool your brakes.

Happy holidays... everybody.

I'll be cutting out my "faux grills" and will be using them as dual cold-air intakes for my supercharger... They will connect to a custom air-filter box (I'm fabricating it out of fiberglass as we speak) with dual K&N filters... just to make sure I don't reduce the supply of ice cold air!
