Oh I have some things I'm doing right now. One of them is my now empty headlight holes as a burrow for some bumper ducts. But I cant help but wonder if the air is impacted into that cavity.
The front bumpers nice point and smooth transition rearward I figure there is a possibility that the air is directed right over the headlight recess. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Would anybody know if this is a good place to grab air? Plan B... turn signal holes enlarged,I know there the air would be forced good but prefer the headlight. Anybody know if? tia Tony |

I'll give you my two cents, but I got off work at 3:30, so I'm charging overtime.
Sounds like you need: Brake ducts Oil cooler location P/S cooler location I'll take them in reverse. We have the p/s cooler in front of the radiator on the passenger side, mounted between the lower radiator support and the bar that holds the upper radiator support. This has provided efficient p/s fluid cooling, and the reservoir leaks minimally now compared to before. I'm redoing that system, but I think that a reservoir with a better cap would solve the whole thing. Oil cooler is tougher, since I don't want to drop it in front of the radiator, and there really isn't much room. I just pulled the ABS unit, so there's some room there. I think that general corner of the car would work well. Maybe devote a fog light hole to that. That leaves the turn signals for the brake ducts. Cut the openings up a little and drop some naca ducts behind them to draw more air than they would see normally. We had been using hose attached to the air scoop thing that attaches to the lower part of the bumper cover for brake ducting. It was sufficient. I think we're going to move them to a different, undecided, location. Cover them headlight holes with something. They really seem tempting, but I think that they ruin the aero. Not like I really know what I'm doing in the aeor department though. That's my three cents. Or is it 1 cent after overtime? Remember, you can always redo it. And you probably will anyhow. Have fun!
