Thanks for the continued input.... I'll post pics when I start the mod.

I didn't state in the first post that I plan to studd it for traction. And the hurricane kit sounds cool and goes with the general consensus of making it breath better to start and clutching.

Thanks for the input, and yes my daughter is spoiled lol.


And while I'm typing I'll mention a solution I want to try and use to solve the ice build up and overheating issue, and see how crazy I am.
I am going to replace the stock tunnel protectors ( between track and exhaust) with aluminum rails a little wider and deeper and route the coolant through them to keep snow from melting to them and also help with cooling I hope. Has anyone tried this and if so has it worked?

Thanks

That was my tunnel cooler that I had welded up. It worked great, something the factory should have done. Had to remove it because I went to a 144 track/tunnel. Or another idea would be to make the protectors out of something other than metal, notice that there is almost never any ice on plastic parts but it's stuck all over everything else. I may work on something this summer.....

I don't mean to hijack this thread but I believe I might have come up with the best solution yet for the tunnel icing issue... I'm installing an aluminum plate along the tunnel protectors. I know your saying "that's not new" But what I'm going to do is use adhesive to attach a cut out Crazy Carpet to the aluminum plate. This plastic will be adhered and riveted to the plate and through the protectors. The Crazy Carpet can be left a little wider and trimmed so it can seal against the tunnel walls. Not only non stick but they come in Blue & Red!! It's my summer job.. Keep you posted.
