Finished front

I finished the work on the spoiler and the brake ducts just in time to hit the racetrack. No problems stopping this year :-)

Sneak preview

Had a great day at the Red Bull Ring, here is a small appetiser until I get a chance to go through the photos I shot...

Cool it two

Aluminum duct bent and fitted to the airhole in the spoiler...

Cool it

In an effort to keep the brakes cool during the upcoming trackday at the Red Bull Ring in Spielberg, I've decided to route some air to the front hubs. I bent an aluminum bracket that attaches the 3 inch high-temp hose to the upright.

 I made some funnels out of a sheet of aluminum, they should catch the air through holes in a new chin spoiler I've had laying around for some time.

 The cutouts in the spoiler had to be opend, easy job with the right tool - impossible without it...

Workdays

Took the Cuda to work yesterday, all systems work like they should. Commuting takes on a whole different flavor with a ride like this :-)

Footrest

I asked Marcus to build me this footrest for the left foot, as I experienced it quite uncomfortable driving spiritedly without it, especially in right-handers at speed!

Rear brakes

The Cuda spent some more time at Prototech to finish the the brake system. Marcus' trick Alfa Romeo GTV Group 4 Racecar  sits in the foreground.

 The rear brakes come as a complete kit from Wilwood, retainig the emergency brake in a small drum inside the hub in addition to the disc brake. Unfortunately the system is far from plug and play, some modifications and fabricating was necessary in order to make everything fit. A new master brake cylinder was also in order, as the one installed was too large for the new barke setup.

 Rear brakes installed in the rear!
