Thanks Everyone.
wormhole thank you very much for you help. BTW what size are those brass fittings? the one that connects the AN fitting to the oil cooler. Are you using one factory line or are they all braided.
The only factory line you need to keep is the main feed to the original cooler(the bottom one). The exit then goes to the bottom of the second cooler and the top goes back to the cooler housing. All 26mm

did you upgrade to 87+ hubs?
Yup, 87 hubs and spindles with 86 arms. With the racer edge camber plates I was still easily able to get –3 degrees with plenty of adjustment left.

Very nice. It really helps to reduce weight, makes the car so much more nimble. I know your having fun now when you can run with some pretty strong cars.
It's like driving a 400hp go cart, but with brakes. I was so used to the stock brakes when I first got them warm I locked all four up and got sideways going into turn 1. All it takes is a small tap, something I'll have to get used to..


Nice track pics John... Don't ditch the passenger seat so you can give me a ride when you become an instructor in a few years
Dude, if you want to come out with NASA I can probably give you a ride. I'm looking to get my racing license this year...

"John, forgot to ask.. did you ever get those bolts for the door?"
Yes, I did, and thank you. I didn't have to worry about denting the fender everytime I opened the door Sorry you couldn't make it...

John, I'm sure that would be a hella fast car for GTS! Racing is a ton of fun and if you ever run with NASA mid-a let me know, I'd love to see that car in person! I just got my racing license this year and Its been a blast, i dont know how I'll ever do HPDE's again!

Yes, use the part numbers I gave you from the BAT website. You will also need 12AN hose.

Will do.. My buddy just finished his first race at VIR and said the same thing, no more DE's for him.

He ran in the autobahn group with the Super Cups. First race and first time at VIR. His car actually falls into the new unlimited series.

I think it might be cheaper to order the whole KISS kit from Lindsey which is $369.00 + shipping. I just called and the fittings alone would be 276 + shipping. And 10ft of hose would be 76.00 + shipping would be 352. I am going to talk to my friend to see if i can get a discount on it.

Looks good. Sorry to hear about your trouble, which HG were you using and which one do you plan to install?

True it prob. will be cheaper, I was surprised how much those fittings were. The thing I liked about using a duel stock cooler is it still gave me room for brake duct hoses and cold air intake.

Was using Wide Fire, and will be using it again.

I think it started to develop when I ran a little lean on the dyno. Was only running 12psi with a perfect AF when it happened.

I love that brake cooler idea. I first saw the idea on from shiners780. Did you use intake adapters in the fog light holes? Do you remember which ones or where you bought them? Can you comment on the effectiveness of this type of brake cooling setup?

It's just a MAF 3" adapter. Don't remember where I got it but you can get them anywhere. A google search should work. As for the effectivenes, it a straight thru 3" opening routed directly to the rotor, doesn't get more efficient then that

You can get that bracket that mounts on the spindle from Lindsey Racing. I dont think that they are that expensive. You make it you self given the proper diemensions.
