Default Nice Arse

The Daytona is off to the trimmers today

I have gone over board with DYNAMAT and heat shield, its added about 50kg's to the car,,, I hope it works like it say's on the box...

Just need to fit a couple vents to the bonnet, fit the head light covers and paint.

Redo the rear window, tune, wheel alighment, gas the A/C unit and a few smaller things and it will be on the road again........





VERY HAPPY STIFFY

You should be a very happy Stiffy.

So will she be back together in time to make an appearance at Shelbyfest (even as a spectator)?

Looking good! Tony had his new Daytona at the Cobra Breakfast in Qld yesterday and it also looks brilliant. Great motor with Trickflow heads and very smooth.

Hi Stiffy,

Luv the Daytona in its painted colours.

What product did you end up using for Heat Shield?

Default Papers

BMK,

I cannot seem to find the on-line paper, for a newspaper it has a lot of page 3 girls/////////


Gregg,

I used a mixture of DEI tunnel shield (bloody exy, $280 for 1/2 Square)
and DEI peel on for the rest (used 5 x 1.2 meter square) plus some alu/fyber panels on the inside & outside body where the side pipes are. AND DYNAMAT in the boot, doors. I havent used it in the cabin as I dont think it will last with the heat. I will see how the other heat shields will go.
The trimmer is also adding heat resistant underfelt.
You might be asking yourself why so much heat shield... When I was driving it to the Engineers (cloudy day about 20 deg) I was losing 1KG of sweat per Kilometre. This was without any heat shield, carpet, coated pipes, holes in the firewall and the A/C not connected. The above might
help.

Stiffy, I'm expecting a fair bit of heat from the underbody system in my Cobra and with the cats located next to the bellhousing. But you've got active side pipes (I presume)... where is all that radiant heat coming into the cabin from?

Loving that paint job by the way.

Default Heat

SAMBO,

The car was getting HOT as the cats were at your feet, there was no insulation and aluminium internal panels. The A/C wasn't connected, no flow through air, black gel coat, the exhaust ran past both sides and exited at the rear (no insulation or CNC coating). And the car seems to keep its heat, I think its the flat bottom, the radiator air exiting from infront of the windscreen
and no engine bay venting. So I have spent a heap of time attemtping to get it fixed. Fingers crossed.

Ceramic coating on the headers does wonders...I built a Mustang that was producing temps of 50 deg C from the engine bay...too hot for the A/C intake. I had the headers coated inside and out by HPC and the engine bay temp dropped to 39 deg C. Wonderful stuff.

Trularin

I would say no as he is spending tons of money on his garage. See his garage Thread/Updates.

Not sure if anyone is heading to London, Ohio this year.

Great event though and is certainly one to visit at least once. There are very few towns that encourage drag racing a full quarter of a mile down the main street...

Bernie
