it seems like it only cools the very centre of the disc... wouldn't it be better to have a duct cool the outer edge of the disc where the pads make contact or even ducting cool air into the the cooling vanes in the centre of the rotor? I reckon make somthing like a caliper that goes over both sides and the top of the rotor then duct cool air from the front bar into that... just my thoughts.

they do spray water onto the brakes of a DTM car but only when they are coming into pitlane as stopping with red hot brakes causes fade when they return to the track or so the article i found said. Also those truck they race pump water onto the brakes all the time.

I have also found some 3" 12 volt fans that are used in nascar to cool brakes down. They are place in the brake ducting and will move 145CFM i think that would help.

used to run water cooling in f1 as well as a way to beat minimum weights....they'd get weighed with 30kg of water on board then dump it on the brakes nice and early, then run around 30kg lighter :thumbsup: I still think there is a god chance of cracking them though

    • There is no difference between a 17x8 and an 18x8. The total diameter of the tyre needs to remain +/- the same (so you don't mess up the gearing, speedo reading, and clearance when turning front wheels..... so you just need to use a lower profile tyre on th 18 than you do on the 17. /rocket surgery.
    • I thought the same to start with. But then I thought it was one of those LCAs where the end of the ARB goes through a bushing in the LCA itself, instead of having an end link.
    • Yeah - I mean, go the other way. Smaller range. Not larger.
    • To re-cap, I bought: https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Lsailt-8G-Infiniti-Q50-Q60-2014_1601171829627.html?spm=a2756.trade-list-buyer.0.0.2cd476e9FTIlKE As you can see, if I bought 20 it was $653, but I bought 1 so it was $1,170. I was very tempted to buy 2 and resell 1 at 25% cheaper. @MBS206, I am not sure if they do a Kluger one, here is their list but it might be there under a global model name: http://www.lsailt.com/product/android-interface?page=1 Keep in mind these full android replacements have basically all the bits a phone does (cpu, ram, storage, wifi, bluetooth, usb interfaces) other than a screen (it uses a host), thus the $800+ cost. Android Auto screen mirroring is MUCH cheaper as it's just a cut down shell, input mirroring and output mirroring BTW I also need that "screen off" feature, it is much harder to see wildlife even if a dash is reasonably dark. Both the Fuga and V37 have display off buttons for night use, they just come back on for a second or 3 if you interact with it, eg skip a song.
    • I use FCC car launcher. It has an option for different backgrounds, so instead of turning the screen off you can swipe 'up' to a black screen with no background/icons. (mine has the time on it only). It's kinda nice. Also lets you use gestures to say swipe to go to next song, etc.
