Default question about fender vents

the 2 behind the front wheels/in front of the doors....are they functional?

it was highly recommended I get an oil and tranny cooler which may or may not be feasible for the manual transmissions since I do not believe it has any type of plumbing in place.

I was thinking those 2 spots would accommodate the cooler however the ideal place being the where the air intake is since there is actually alot of room there.

mainly just in the brainstorming phase.

1. No
2. Lots of track-rats have down oil and transmission coolers so search and I'm sure you'll find lots of idea's and suggestions. For the oil coolers it's either external vs Aftermarket radiators with integrated oil coolers. With external the oil temps staying too low is also a factor.

I've seen some use the rear brake ducts for Diff & Transmission cooler spots.

I have my engine oil cooler mounted at the front of my left front fender liner. I will try to take some pics tonight. It was sponsored work by Canton back in 2006 so its dated but works great.
