Correct.

We actually see higher temps in stop-and-go traffic, when there's no airflow... but nothing out of the ordinary.

I highly recommend the oil cooler.

Big thanks to CounterSpace Garage, @CSG Mike , @JRitt and @Racecomp Engineering for the recommendations and alignment specs - they really know what works on this car

Also thanks to @jamesm (HRI Tuning) for a great etune!

BOOM!

That's right! Ice... man. I am dangerous.

Did you ever get the TF brake cooling kit fitted to the APR ducts and AP rotor backing plate you had them make? If so, how did everything come together and perform?

Your car is running my dream setup right now, I'm so jealous

It would have moved the rotor out a bit, relative to the caliper. The new brake pads are a tight fit and I wasn't sure if they would fit if the rotor wasn't aligned with the caliper.

Instead, I used the passenger side APR brake duct to route air towards cylinder #1, to cool coilpack 1. Maybe this will help prevent coilpack 1 failures

That first pic looks familiar!

I've had no issues fitting new pads on my stock calipers/rotors with the same thickness backing plates.

I doubt you'd have issues with pad fitment with the backing plate installed and if you did, you could always shave the pads down a bit...

Question. The air filter. When I want a new one what do I get. I had everything written down but my kid threw it out by accident. To lazy to search

I'm sure it can be ordered through Jackson Racing. I was planning to get an extra one just to have. Plus, their filter has a cool JR logo on the top of it
