Sick man!

I was thinking of adding some type of ducting to the passenger side that would route air from the foglight opening up into the airbox for the engine. Any ideas on what you will use for the duct?

Just simply brake ducting from Jegs or Summit.....3" x 11ft is usually what you get to do both sides

to your build. The brake ducting is really cool.

Would 3 inch have clearance issues at full lock with wide wheels in the front? Are you planning on fabricating a vented shield to direct the air to the rotor or just place the ducting hose on to the rotor?

3" should plenty of clearance.....also it is pretty rare to have your car at full lock on the track...

Depending on how it works out I may just direct the air to be directed towards rotors....the most optimal way to cool is to add the vented shield you mentioned....at some point im sure I will go that route.

That is true. I would just be worried about rubbing on the hose while going up and down driveways, but I guess that concern would vary based on the area you live and how often you would need to turn full lock.

Looking good man. I'd totally snag a set from you, but I literally have so many parts laying around that still need to be installed, last thing I need is more! Maybe in the future though.
