I saw something in one of the threads.
Could you give me a link to the heat shield?
I liked the idea.


That was some kind of self-adhesive insulating film, wasn't it...?

I have already decided to buy it.
But the GPI guys aren't talking to me yet.
I need to negotiate the price of postage here to Europe

Yes it's adhesive, I may have a link in the thread I started about intake. I am on my phone so it's annoying to try and search.

At rest...
You'll put it here when you're on the computer. But I think the link wasn't there.
I am mainly concerned with the thickness of the foil with insulation.
I have no idea how much space there is under the intake.

This would be fine. Still no one called me.
Maybe if they see bad English, they take it as SPAM message..?
That's happened to me to.

George,

As far as the heat shield here is some data. This is info from a data log I did & the air temp outside was about 60 degrees. The car was driven for 20 minutes normal to warm it up. oil temp was about 200. This was from the 4th wot in this particular log. Pretty impressive imo.

According to your log it works well, Glad I added it the hardest part was getting the backing off of it.

I didn't see one this morning, so I'm assuming you got a reply. If you sent me one (and I didn't get it) let me know, and I'll figure out what's going on. You can always PM your e-mail address to keep it private, and I can e-mail you.

That is very nice.
I will definitely use this shield as well.

That's weird Andrew. I wrote you an email today at 10am local time. Which, given your time difference, is 4am in the States.


Can he please check it?



I am copying the email here, in private messages.






Otherwise, no one from GPI heard back. And that's what I wrote to them through their web form.

I wonder if our e-mail platform is rejecting your mail for some reason. I show we are pretty caught up, and I definitely know my work e-mail is. I replied to your PM, I'll try to e-mail you.
