Scobib's brake ducts
 
I went looking for some inexpensive brake ducts; a friend of mine and I were talking about them at the track one day. I chased down the old posts, and found Scobib's link, but it doesn't work.

Anyone have a current link? Or some new ideas?

Send him a PM. He's here fairly often. Someone local just did his brake duct mod on their MINI.

I never use my driving lights, and I cooked the brakes at the last track day so I decided to give the Scobib brake ducts a try. So far so good. Full report after the track day on Sept. 9 - 10.

Here are a couple of pictures.

And looking into the duct ...

I sent scobib a PM, maybe he'll send his write-up. I have a DE next month with moderately long straights, and although I haven't had problems yet, this will probably be where they show up. I don't have foglights, just little fake grills on the Cooper where the lights would be. It doesn't do anything at the moment, might as well let a little air thru there.

If anyone finds the writeup, I'm interested. One of my lights shattered last week, so I might consider doing this instead of $100 to replace a light that I never used anyway.

Very interesting idea.

Brake cooling ducts
 
I removed my fog lamps and installed duct/hose.
Easy mod. to do.
I did not have to remove the bumper cover, just partially the wheel wells.

Found this link over on MINI2 :

No reason to remove the bumper.

I also reviewed that link from mini2, but decided to go with the most direct path of air and easy installation as Scobib's idea provides.
