Brake Cooling Ducts

[sm76]

sm76, those are awesome pictures of your MP3 road racing. I saw your wheels at sccaforums and was tempted... but then realized I have no need for them

If you guys do attempt this mod and need an extra/new set of brake dust plates, I have a set I'd let go of for like $7 shipped. When I ordered them, I thought they were something else. Oh well!

Thanks.
There may be another sm76, this is the only forum I have that name. So the wheels must be from someone else.
I'll keep the shields in mind. I may wind up welding a piece of 3" tubing to the shield to attach the hose. I haven't had a chance to look at the protege yet, I spent all day getting my Chevelle running. Maybe tomorrow.

Ah you are right, he had v710s on his Flik wheels. Maybe you should buy them or see if he'd trade them: http://sccaforums.com/forums/thread/198963.aspx

Well, I'm going to hold off on the cooling ducts for now. My car is so low, I don't have clearance for the inlets or the hoses to go under the car. And since I'm probably going to sell the car soon I don't want to cut the fenders in case the new owner won't want the ducts. The deciding factor was the problem with my axle was the inside cv joint and not the outer so I think it has more to do with the car having 95k miles on it than the heat from the brakes.

If someone were at stock height, I think attaching to the bottome of the lip and running along the plastic inner fenders to control arm would be the easiest route.

Do you have any pics of the inside of your car sm76, I would like to see your rollbar.

I don't have any recent pictures, but there are some in this thread: http://www.msprotege.com/forum/showt...hlight=rollbar

I updated post #4 since I bumped my camber from -1.5 to -2 in the front.

 

[Kansei]

I run -1 on all 4.. stock alignment specs FTW?

How did you change the camber on the front?

 

[Kansei]

You can rotate the struts unless you've already done that

 

[low_psi]

Yea, rotating the strut mounts is the only adjustment method.

 

[Kansei]

yeah aside from camber bolts

The Ksports have camber plates. Before the coilovers I used camber bolts for the front.
