I had to put my hood inserts on hold, as i can find no one around here able to do it the RIGHT way. Your car looks great, can't wait to here your thoughts on the brake cooling kit.

The Stig is tracking in style!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Looking good Chris! The boys at Autoglo definitely do a thorough job.

I got my brake cooling kit halfway installed. Still working on the passenger side and having a little trouble with the metal support wire in one of the hoses so I need a new one to finish the job. Plus I've got a small leak in my power steering cooling lines I have found, so I need to work on that. Car will be in the air on jackstands a few weeks I think.

I'd like to buy the power steering cooler kit. Was the leak due to rubbing or at a connection point?

The ducting is tight. Took my dad and I to menipulate without damaging. I'd almost feel better about grinding the wheel well out a bit. But it's done now.

I'm not sure, its just a slight seep where the hose connects to the hard pipe, but that hard pipe is bent some, not quite kinked, but almost and has a gouge out of it. I think its leftover from my wreck at VIR. I will probably replace all of the hardline with flexible line and reroute it to get a little more room. Might even move the cooler to the side grill opening in my bumper if I can figure out an easy way.

Yea for sure. When running my brake duct the PS hard lines were somewhat in the way. I'm not sure why they are even there. The PS lines go from rubber to hard then back to rubber. So why not remove the hardlines and go all rubber or braided that can flex around each other. Plus the PS hard lines have two brakets that get in the way also

the car is looking fresh man!

ValidusVentus · 04-09-2012, 08:08 PM

O&G · 04-09-2012, 08:14 PM

I'm doing braided PS lines because the stock lines make no since and get in the way of everything I'm trying to do in that area! Z is looking great, I'm loving the vents, easy way to get rid of temps in the engine bay! Good sh*t!!
