I was just wondering the same thing a few days ago. I was just under my car changing the oil and was looking around at things.
It seems like it wouldn't be too hard to run some flexible hose back to the center of the rotor so that the forced air travels through the vented vanes of the rotor. I think this is how nascar and similar sports do it. I know race cars usually have fans that draw the air as well but, for the few dollars it would cost to do straight pipes and some clamps and whatnot, I would be willing to try.
Can anyone think of a way to test the benefit? Some sort of thermometer to read the temp in the area?
And I bet it would make more brake dust float out of the area onto the wheels, heh. |
