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

[elijahallen92 at aol.com]

Your car is a LITTLE different though, don't you think? These guys aren't having a problem with the car overheating at idle or even while moving for that matter but are just trying to make the whole thing breath a little better so that when they take thier street/track car to the track they have that much less to worry about.

I've got both sides of the hood vented, one for the rad, the other for the
heat buildup around the turbo.

Trouble is when you're not moving, there's not enough airflow to keep things
cool.

The last rallyX I ran it got so hot you couldn't rest your hand on the shift
knob! Needless to say the cabin was equally hot.

On the 90 NA the hood gets so hot you can burn your hand if you touch it.
