Brake Cooling Scoops Wanted.

Just did my first (Novice) trackday at Brands on Tuesday. First outing since Robin at 9M worked his magic on the suspension upgrades. It's like a new car now. Most fun I've had with my clothes on [:)]

So, now the inevitable questions ( after the brakes went away from me towards the end ):

Does anyone have the brake cooling scoop kit for sale ? 9M say they hadn't sold any for a few years and so have discontinued them. RennSport do a similar thing but they want $300 ( compared with the £120 for the old 9M version ) ! Seems a lot to pay for a couple of scoops and some ducting ?

Is there any downside to removing the dust shields ( apart from having to remove the discs [;)] to do it ) ?

The car is an '82 SC Sport but has (genuine) 3.2 Carrera discs/callipers and pads all round.

Cheers - Gary
 
Cheers Andy.

Forgot to mention I have ATE super blue fluid and SS hoses.

Is that the same kit you had on your (now departed ?) Carrera ?

***ignorance mode on*** PU ? ***ignorance mode off***

And your fast road/track day pad recommendation is...? ( now that most of my standard pads are dust on my wheels [:(] )

As you guess I was trying to advise based on personal experience.

I had the Paragon Products cooling ducts - very good.

I also had Pagid Blue (RS42) pads all round - also very good. I had just bought some Pagid Orange for the fronts to replace the (almost) worn out Blue's when I sold the car. I was advised the Orange are even more suited to high temperature track work, but still OK on the road although I never had time to try them.

PU literally stands for Polyurethane, but is used to refer to the "bumper" section - front or rear.
 
Search on my name and you will see a thread on the 993 scoops. They are cheap and worth a try. I use them with some success.
 
Thanks Richard,

Btw, I've just done some quick net research on brake fluids.

Is the WBP of Castrol SRF really 592 degrees Celcius ? If so that's 200 degrees higher than the ATE super blue I currently have ! ( WBP of 392 ).

Does that make it a worthy ( and cheaper ) initial upgrade - or will it only delay the inevitable fluid boil a bit longer ?

Cheers - Gary
