    I always thought that it was the disk that needed to be cooled but I just heard that it was better to cool the caliper because you lose brakes from the oil heating. Is it better to cool the disk because you cut down on the heat transferred to the caliper/oil or better to cool the caliper directly?

    It's definitely better to cool the fluid. However, there's no convenient way to do that other than getting the disk to shed as much heat as possible, thus not transferring it to the fluid.

    Hey Dick - if you want some "severe duty" testing of these, let's put a set on Albin's H car.

    He is always happy to try stuff out. Let me know if you like that idea and I can get them down to him.

    BTW - great job this weekend. That race on Saturday was a treat to watch.

    Bob did a great job battling with those guys. that's the kind of racing that keeps us coming back. Chris and Greg are great to race with anytime. Brings back the old IT days. How cool would it have been to have a CRX in that mix?
    We sized up the mock-up on Chris's car and everything looks good, so I plan on having a set to bring to the Sprints. I should be able to have a couple sets too for anyone else interested.

    Yeah that was just a blast to watch. Reminded me very much of IT Fest 2008.

    Those that were not there - take a look in the Cat National race report thread in the prod forums to see some really good racing videos from Greg Gauper's Civic, running with Bob and Chris.

    See you at the Sprints Dick.

    I got the Ducks, they are awesome! one side is installed! check is in the mail.

    Man that video you sent me with the Loop racing Scirocco and Albin was watched by every racer that came in to my shop!!!! Twice! Thanks!I have seen is 10 times now.......

    How important is a NACA or Thermoformed air inlet duct to feed air, Can I just cut 2 holes in my air damb? I have never had brake fade, just want more brake pad/rotor life and to cool the crappy MK1 hubs......

    Once again thanks Dick!

    Glad you like them Lael. I have holes in the air dam with the plastic preformed "funnels" behind it. Not necessary but sure makes for a clean and easy install. Pegasus has a nice selection and they're not very expensive. Most are 3" hose. Use the 3" hole in the air dam and neck it down for the 2.5" brake cooler hose. Pegasus has adapters or your local muffler shop can set you up for cheap.

    Maybe you could post some pics or email me some, of the install.

    I have the Mk2 ducts ready to go now. If anyone wants to see them, I'll have a set at the Sprints this weekend. Just look me up at the track.

    Thinking about Honda ones now that Drew brought that up. I think concrete would be the best material to use now.
