heat proof for floor pans

[GC75]

whats good? what should i be using in a modern day era instead of this tacky shit thats on there now which i want removed and painted.

[karl_2ltgc]

You would use a heat shield between exhaust and body, of just put up with warm feet thats what i do (3" dump and wastegate pipe that joins up after the gearbox).

That tacky stuff is just for deadning noise not heat.

[GC75]

well whats some modern noise deadener...

and dude my carpet is out atm and my floor mat got burnt... so yeah i rekon it would be a good idea to get something done...

it gets hot right near the transmission and the clutch.

[stealth]

dude you can buy a two pack sound deadener in sheet form its about
3mm thick and you put it in place and set it with a heat gun
you should be able to buy this from any good crash supplies
and yes you can paint over it

Go see my missus at Nowra Spares behind rivers, she might give you a good deal

[GC75]

will do

It would also be beneficial to wrap the exhaust in that heat wrap stuff too. Doing this keeps the heat in, which is said to keep the gas volume expanded and help draw gas away from the engine/turbo. I have to do it, the shoe of my dyno tuner melted to the floor after a few hours on the dyno. The gas reaches 500C inside the exhaust just out from the turbo

while it works great at keeping gas velocity high it is also great for absorbing any moisture that may be around whilst the car is not in use, eventually rusting out your system

[rx22nv]

Yeah that's a good point for thise who leave their car outside. THe race fuel kills my exhaust too, It would last minutes.

[GC75]

well id rather avoid rust cus its a prick.. and is driving me up the wall at the moment!



some progress of this shit.

found some small rust holes... all seem to be easily fixed.

[stealth]

[GB_BB4C]

I just used a scraper and a heat gun. softened it up and peeled right off, wire brushed the floor and sprayed with body schutz.

[GC75]

[stealth]

jeez man a chully bun is the kiwi way of saying
esky suppose you dont get to many kiwis in nowra?
cheers stealth

[GC75]

haha aite, nah got a few ay!

[rx22nv]

+1 for the heat gun method. I used a 1 inch paint scraper too. I couldn't get my hands on the dry ice.

[amgis_obrut]

when i done the floor in my cortina i just used paint stripper a scraper and some black garbage bags

I cut a cross hatch pattern in the deadener then put the stripper on thick then cover it with garbage bags and leave it sit for about 1/2 hour

then scrape it off

[GC75]

just gunna get dry ice this week, didnt have the cash for it today?

anyone know how you go about applying or handling dry ice? never used it before lol

[stealth]

man get the best gloves that you can ,rug up and pour it on
BUT BE WARNED DONT GET IT ON YOU AS YOU WILL GET FROST BITE
when dry ice comes in contact with your floor it will react violently
hence the rug up where safety glasses and face shield
ps you dont pour shit loads on either little by little
cheers stealth

[GC75]

well i got safety glasses checked, there on me at all times.

cheers mate
