[Es2] things that tend to break on es2's at the track

[Adam Ordway]

new wheels = Flik FTD 17x8 ET35 w/o spacers
'old' wheels = SSR Comp 17x8.5 ET35 with 5mm spacers and 255/40 A032R's
 
Elijah put on urS4 hubs front and rear (i think) with big blacks up front and urS4's brakes in back.

?

What wheels are you mounting those tires on? Offset? I have talked to a few people and was told that 235/40 were the correct tire size for my 17x8 S6 wheels, not mounted yet. Awaiting hubswap and big brakes.

Gordon.

	>Yea, if you have an extra hood just hack a huge hole in it behind the rad just for the track :) It does get very hot in the car at the track. With rain in the forcast I would take a bathroom wastebasket (great for making shrouds and such) and make a temporary sheild to the air filter so you don't suck water in. An extra MAF of 2 might be a good idea as well. What tires are you going to use if its wet?

	>Good point Elijah, I almost forgot about my toasty feet from the 300 mile ride that day.  The fan just blows/sucks that hot air right against the backside of the foot well.  Need to add to the shopping list the most vented sneaks I can find (and some odor eaters).  I do have a spare B4 hood I could experiment with, hmmmmm.

	>Thanks everyone for all of the tips, I'll do my best to hit everything I can.  Elijah has already done a hell of a job building the car with the track in mind. 
	>
	>Elijah, with rain in the forecast and the intake still in the same spot do you think I should pick up a MAF or 2?

	>Adam,
	> Ducting to the radiator was always something I wanted to do but never got around to. What I really wanted to do was vent the hood behind the radiator because if you look behind it there is not really anywhere for the air to go even if you do get it ducted better. It will just make an air dam like if you are wearing a coat with a hood that covers your head out in front of your face. Even when you walk into the wind the air will barley touch your face. Sorry, that was the only example I could think of, hehe.
