I cleaned them up a little, riveted them to the bumper, and the bumper is at the paint shop right now. My 2" brake duct hose came in so, waiting for the bumper to return, then going to route the hose, and will take some finished pics.

 

Keep us updated broman!

 

I too am interested. Do you guys that have run ducts on the s2000 think I can run them with 255's on the front?

 

I redid my brake ducts. Spent a bit more than 15 minutes making them this time. Had Estukay sold his works of art, I would have purchased his and stopped trying to fab my own up. His are just beautiful... mine are definitely a grassroots effort.

This time around, I have the fiberglass ducts go all the way back to the edge of the wheel well plastics. The ducts on both sides go straight back, terminate right where the plastics start. I then clamp the brake hoses there. It made it easier to install/remove if I ever need to remove the bumper.


From the radiator opening. The metal brackets you see are for my splitter. Eventually I'm going to block off this section so it's like the OEM plastics. Also, I removed my airpump, which creates a ton more space on the driver side to make some ducts.


You can see how far back the ducts go. you can also see how far back the splitter goes. It basically replaces the lower plastics.


I clamped the hose to the bottom of the sway bar...


Then routed it between the tie-rod and strut. at full lock in either direction, the tie-rod barely pinches it. not enough to be a concern, but I'll keep an eye on it to see how it progresses.


Since I have the stoptech BBK, I don't have dust shields to clamp to. I took the original DIY Brake duct thread idea of bolting it to the ABS sensor. the metal duct is bolted the same way, except there's no welded tab, there's a hole in it and it's bolted directly. Eventually, I'd like to change this around and do what was done in the other thread.


that's it. I hope this inspires others to do it and make it much much better Ultimately, wish we had a piece like this though:

 

Add me to the list of interested buyers - those look great!

 

I'm still working on nailing down an agreement with a manufacturer. I'm trying to get the cost down, to make it more affordable. Will hopefully have something soon!

 

I am interested in a set too, especially with 2.5" hoses since they are the largest you can run and still use 255 tires in the front.

 

I demand carbon fiber

 

It is being worked on as we speak
The cost difference between fiberglass and carbon fiber is minimal. For those that want a more stealthy look, the ducts can be painted with satin gloss black paint.

Also, I'm working on aluminum spindle mounts for those of you that removed your dust shields.

 

Driven- you said the tie rod pinches the hose a little- won't that eventually wear a hole in the hose?
