from personal experience, you might need to move your fuse box and you'll fry your steering boot
fireballs from the gate are sick but
awesome worksmanship on that stuff by the way

17-01-12, 17:45 GMT+10#75 That acl heat shield is awesome, not sure how much it will save the fuse box, I put mine where the glove box should be. Ive got the oil lines running along the top of the chassis rail in mine and that heat shield does the job of protecting them fine, also Mo, ditch the beanie for the turbo and just make up a good heat shield from the ACL stuff, I destroyed 2 beanies, one caught fire, lol, fire proof my arse.

big fan, tbh im just waiting to come watch this. be super keen to run against you, who knows if i get big enough balls i might think about putting some race fuel in myself to give you a run (you will win). 10.6 is the WA manual record. shane is a big guy, like 6'+ your skinny lebness should save you ATLEAST 0.1 seconds!

No problems mate, that was at super lap after 6 flying laps, so **** was pretty hot, but when did the heat shield there and it was so much better than the bag straight away.

19-01-12, 17:54 GMT+10#79 What's the "ACL" stuff? Is it that metallic fabric stuff? My waste gate is raping my bonnet liner! Need to cover the hole and fix it ASAP!

OH IS IT NOW? Might want to get that sorted out.........
ACL stuff is just metal shielding or whatever - seen the heat shielding on XR6T's, over the top of the manifold? - That's it. It's just a sheet and can cut it up, bend a bit etc.
