Anybody have these? they look pretty nice but i would much rather have it powder coated black on the brackets and black hose to make things look cleaner.

SneedSpeed Brake Cooler Kit for Rx-8 - Sneed Speed Shop

298.00 not bad at all wouldn't mind purchasing these

just thought i'd shared.

 

unless you are really pushing it --like driving 11/10--you dont need these. Just get proper pads/rotors and fluid and you are good to go.
I guess if you are driving a tight circuit, with many turns they could be of some use--but the 8 is fairly lightweight and doesnt generate that much speed so its the individuals call. Nice to have options and it looks like a pretty good kit. I guess there is no contact/blinding with full turning?

 

I'll probably just buy these when I get some money. Just to make me look like a badass jk I'll see if I can call them to ask on clearance issues

 

if it was a dedicated track car this would look like a good mod!

 

This doesn't look too bad. It saves some time on the build if one doesn't want to drill 4 holes to accomodate the cooling hose and build 2 brackets at home.

 

New price = $417 (!)

 

those would be pretty easy to build

 

Cool can you make one that goes all the way to my turbo?

 

When are you going to give me something tough, But yes that's easy. where would like the filter and would you need a Maf flange? Also Im guessing you would want it hard pipe not the flex crap

or are you walking a duct with piping that dumps to the existent air filter? That's even easier. Either way I have most of it laying here in the garage lol

 

No I just mean having a cooling duct to cool the turbo area

 

Granted those are not stressed components, those welds are horrid.

 

Speedsource sells (or sold) a similar kit

 

I can pry make you the duct part for the oem bumper section then we could find a duct so i know what size outlet pipe to weld on it.

 

CF NACA duct in the hood, put one on the other side and hit the spark plug side too

lost of choices out there, one example :APR Performance - Universal Air Ducts

 

Oh. Those are legit.

 

I believe the one for the 350z fits our bumper too. just depends on what you want to do

I just want to cool that area, my firewall is getting cooked despite being banged out and sprayed. I plan on pulling everything soon and trying a DEI tunnel wrap material there. I'm not sure how much a duct to that area would help but it can't hurt.

 

ah so your not wanting it to cool the intake more of a duct to cool where the turbo is located. Why didn't you just say so lol

 

 

he did say, just in n00b-speak

 

Yeah, and I speak that fluently,

 

Hard to believe with all the Isuzu v6 and Saab swaps going on, but I can see where 9k got behind the game and became a noob all over again

 

he's a born-again n00b

 

Ya know this shop is on my way home from work. I may definitely stop by there now. Cool option, but i see olddragger's point in not needing them.
