Stillen's Brake Cooling Kit claimed:

"During testing the non-cooled rotors reached 600 degrees while the cooled side only reached 456 degrees. This is a temperature difference of over 140 degrees or 25%"

I prolly haven't benefitted drastically with a 3" diameter vs 2"/2.5" diameter air duct hose as there are limitations thru bends and the cross section are of the inlet, but anything is better than none with the stock 370z Akebono sports brake when tracked.

Did you put a coupler on your oil filter?? THAT'S INGENUOUS SERIOUSLY

A coupler? do you mean the thermostatic sandwich plate? I'm confused

Though it was a coupler to easily remove oil filters... I thought it was a great idea but I assume its not a coupler now lol.

Holy crap that's a neat garage. What jack stands are those? And am I the only one around here that uses beam torque wrenches...

This sounds like a bad idea. Hard object is not good flying around. You are better off using those wide angle Go Pro or Contour. Quality might be slightly off, but it's far from unaccepttable

I thought of the same thing too. I only have 1 go pro but I don't have anywhere to mount it on that can capture the in dash view. I was originally hoping to do something that can mount something universal camera tripod fit. 1/4-20 I believe is the size.

I also realized that My SLR won't have enough of a good stabilizer compared to a go pro. Perhaps a helmet mount is the only place for now. I can't think of a small enough of a bracket that can leverage off from the cross beam.

If you get a second do you think you could shoot me the details on your wheel powdercoat? I'd like to replicate that color
