Angel is here on EvoM semi-regularly, but has a JDM SR20DET and front end swapped 240 now. He stuck with rear wheel drive, so you Supra guys don't consider him a traitor, right?

I'll tell him you said hi, but I'm sure he'll see it!

Thanks for the thorough selection of photos, Mike!

Have you found it's best to leave the heat shields on? I took mine off but I'm not sure that it helped much since I did it while installing the slotted rotors.

Go back and read! (plenty of good info.)

3 weeks, hopefully!

I just sent the prototpye which I modified to be the production model back to the UK overnight to get this moving as quickly as possible. They will receive it on Thursday and hopefully begin working on them right away!

I plan to leave the heatshields on, mostly to keep debrit out of the rotor when the car is in motion. I think it absorbs minimal heat at best, but I consider it more to be an actual "battle shield" than a heat shield.

Very Nice! Did you install the hose and test fit with that? From my own experience in building brake ducts, the hose presented more problems than the caliper duct as it has to be long enough, be flexible and at the same time be able to clear the engine/body/axle/wheel parts in all ranges of motion side to side and up and down, etc...

Thanks for the development updates as your project progresses.

Unfortunately, we didn't have the proper size ducting on hand when the prototype units got here. We're still trying to track some down and be sure that we can source it for the kits. I'll be working on that today.

I know routing the ducting is usually the most difficult part, and we will try to come up with some generic instructions highlighting how we will route the ducting on our cars, but I'm sure other people with other modifications may want to take a different route.

This product has been added to our website here:

http://www.forgemotorsport.com/conte...oduct=FMEVOBCD

however, the ducts are just beginning production and the final price has not been confirmed 100%, so I must advise that if anyone places an order through our website, your credit card will not be billed for any amount and the ducts will not be supplied until a later date sometime within the next 3 weeks.

We will advise everyone of the final price and expecting shipping dates when the time comes.
