Cool Shirt System
Just finished my first track session at TWS & it was pretty hot & we are only in June. Who has installed a system in their GT4? Do you mount the cooler in the frunk? Any suggestions? Tks?

ApexPerformance and Traqgear, sponsor on here, sell systems. You might want to talk to them.
Regarding the frunk, you'd have to get cooling lines through the front firewall. In addition the frunk has also been reported as getting hot.

An alternative is this Techniche Cooling Vest. It uses cooling packs that contain a chemical that freezes at a higher temp than water that fit into the vest. Probably not as good at the systems that circulate cold water through a cooler. But it does not require mounting anything in the car and there are no lines to run. You just keep the vest/packs in the included cooling bag until just before going on track and then put it on. They easily stay cold for 20-30 minutes.
I use it in Formula2000 racing where there is no room to fit a cooler in the car.

If you get the bag version you should be able to secure it in rear trunk, or behind passenger seat. I was going to install mine over the weekend, but misplaced the darn hose. I've used it for 2 years, works great. You need to add ice midway through the day. I recommend getting the Momo shirt instead of coolshirt's shirt. Momo bladder is a better design than the piping in the coolshirt.
There is someone on renn selling the bags here:
