| The Viper shoots cool air from the front bumper through these ducts towards the back-side of the wheels to help cool the brakes. Sorry about the picture being out of focus! |
 |
| The Corvette has a similar duct to the Viper. I got this picture from Rob Robinette’s website; it’s a great resource for S2k and FD RX-7 owners. |
With the concept in my head, it was time to design some ducts. I enlisted the help of my buddy Tommy to do some C.A.D. to make a mock-up. The S2000 control arm has a hole conveniently cast into it that we could use as a mounting point.
 |
| This is halfway through mock-up concept number two. When designing parts, there are often many design iterations. |
 | |
| Some more cardboard added onto the mock-up. |

| Checking clearances with the wheel turned. |

Does Tommy still have the info for these ducts? I’d love to have a set for my car to help keep my rotors from cracking!
I didn’t want to cut everything needed for the Baero ducts
Here’s the DIY version.

Or I can email you.
I actually have made and remade the DIY ones about 4 times now. I added a chicken wire like mesh to the lower portion to help keep it in shape as well which helped. I also tried modifying the Porsche ducts which didn’t seem as effective
If you could email me about these composite ones I would appreciate it.
