Pic of the OG Racing Brake Ducts installed
(Yep, I just posted these in another thread, but thought I would give them another thread with proper terminology for those using the search function later......or you can call me an )
I still have to install the tubing and backing plates, but that will happen after the billet Charley Arms and Elephant Racing caster blocks are installed later on this month. The car will be DE-only for next season, no autox events to speak of (long story, other interests/goals).

Those look awesome Tifo. Do you mind mentioning how much they were? I assume you painted them yourself? Please do post more pics of the backside after you install the rest.

Hey, thanks for the kind words. I picked them up on Ebay from someone parting a 944S2 racecar. OG is apparently not currently manufacturing them due to some issues with their fiberglass production/guy. I'm not certain if they will be making them again, emails to OG will be in order if you want the kit.
The hose mounts to the back of the duct with a simple hose claim configuration, and runs to the fiberglass backing plate that replaces the brake shield. The rotors/calipers have to come off to install the backing plate. When I remove the spindles to replace with the modified ones (drilled to accept 19mm BJ pins) for the Charley Arms, the backing plates are going on then, and more pics will follow.
Oh, yes, I painted them myself. The car is due for a total respray, though, hopefully this winter.

Looks great Jeremy. Glad you decided to go with the ER caster blocks. Looking forward to seeing your car at a DE next year. I'm hoping to make the jump to a full cage this winter and stripped interior - have to see how the money holds out.

those look great, very racy. the brake backing plates........those provide air through the central channel and out the cooling fins in a radial direction, correct? the plates i have (but didn't install) from Broadfoot simply cool the inner surface of the rotor, but i don't think that method gives good uniform cooling.
also, what kind of brake pads are you using and what type of driving? mostly DE now?

How did you end up mounting the ducts to the car? And how/where did you cut through the bumper cover for the hose to go back to the brakes?
Actually, do you just have a write-up on the installation? I have similar units from AIR and will be mounting them soon (hopefully).
Lookin' great!

When you get a spare minute, post some pics of the ducts from underneath, I'm looking to steal some ideas
Looks good, I'm glad the medication is kicking in and you have gotten rid of those really strange avatars

Nice!
Definately give it a thumbs up!

PS: Have you considered a 951 4-piston brake upgrade? (Yeah, you'll need a 951 front suspension, but think of all that braking power!)
