awesome...

now I just need to find a really really small pot...

 

nice, is that the DEI universal blanket?

 

Bowl idea is awesome.

 

There used to be a miata with one, but for the life of me can't remember who it was...(I do remember it was on a cardomain site)

 

Blast from the past

 

holy effing revive batman.

 

I found it interesting, so I made a recycled heat shield and posted it, figure someone else might like to see!

 

I've never seen an old license plate as a heat shield! That is neat.

Did you read the thread?

Thread so old no-one uses heat shelds anymore.

 

I use my bare hands.

 

Yes I read the entire 3 pages. Lol. I needed something cause my brake fluid resivor looks like a hersheys bar on a 100 degree day in your pocket

 

What changed between "heat shields are ok, blankets are better." To "blankets are terrible, heat sheilds arent great."

 

Heatshields are ok for blocking heat off from spreading further, blankets or wraps work for a diffrent purpose, they do keep heat from spreading yes. There intention is to keep heat in the turbine and increase spool time.

But I would still have a blanket over a shield. But FREE>100 Dollars any day!!!

Better pick, this ia just a mock up plate, I have nicer plate to go on.

 

I like the pan heat shield. Anyone make one that fits a 2554?

 

LMFAO, you do know thats half of thats wifes pot right. Like seriously, here is a DIY. Dont know that anyone sells them but its more work than I care to do when I can do a recycle liscense plate one in about 15 seconds.

What do you do about the back side which on our cars would be melting the heater lines? what do you do? Put the pan top on there?

 

HAHA, I would wrap them them with the heat sleeves. They work really well or just get silicone lines.

 

So look what i found in the random pics :P
