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

Adam, 
 The front hubs are URS4 hubs, the rear are S2 hubs with urs4 caliper, S8 carriers, and new beetle 280x20 rotors.

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.

They won't let me use the A032R's being a newbie. If it doesn't look like I'll 
be able to use them at all this year I'll sell them, maybe the SSR's they are 
still mounted on too.

    >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

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.
