Thanks guys! :cheers: We will see how well it works on the road course here soon, missed out on a local event at the race track today, kinda bummed. I seen 4 evo's, three impreza's, multiple open trailered vehicles ranging from 70's trans am's to porsche's, newer skyline, several vettes and two new GT500's, all of them were numbered and coming from the track. Kinda off topic but I was pissed off that I couldn't be out there!
Got the cooler ducting done, very pleased with how that went. I made two foam plugs for the coolers just in case since I run in the fall as well. Hopefully this ducting will bring the efficiency up a bit and It won't even notice the condensor is in there  :)

Fantastic as always.

This stupid weather has me happy my car is torn down.   If it worked, I'd be trying to figure out how to run an A/C compressor on it somewhere, haha.
Transmission tail shaft driven AC compressor .. Someone make this happen

Not much to it really. The main air foil is from APR, I made the end plates from 3 mil Carbon fiber, the stands I made are 1/4" 6061 aluminum and the adjusters are 1/4" male left/right threaded heim joints with left/right threaded billet turn buckles, It has far more AOA than a person could use really. I made reinforcement plates out of 1/8" 4130N that are welded to the inside of the rear hatch area for strength/stability/mounting.

LOL I will.  Just trying to finish up the small things that need done before taking it to the track and really testing it out. Granted AC isn't really one of those things needed to go fast but I do enjoy driving this on the street as much as racing it and sweating my balls off at a stop light sucks.

Any video of this at the track yet?  I keep hoping for you to head up to Nebraska for a race so I can see this thing in person.
