So today was extra productive;
- changed the brake fluid to DOT 5.1 (nice firm pedal feel)
- changed the clutch fluid to DOT 5.1 (nice consistent pedal)
- modified the stock heat shield to shroud the exhaust housing better and then used the Reflect-a-Gold on the inside. In a perfect world it should reflect the heat back into the housing and away from other components... thats the theory.
- next was the heat-sheilding. I picked some from super-cheap during the 20% off and made a few cuts / bends and it was done.
- I splashed the Reflect-a-Gold around onto the underside of the TMIC and brake booster.
From my non-scientific "
feel hotter or colder" testing there is significantly less heat around the clutch / brakes and the intercooler side / bottom are able to be touched after 15 minutes of driving. I guess the real test will be on the 15th at RAC!!
To finish off my ONLY socket cracked... luckily I was able to borrow another one and sorted the wheels out.
