So i finally took steps towards shielding my pod today

headed to bunnings in search of perspex

i was appalled when they wanted $45 for a smallish sheet so i bailed

buttttttttt............ on the way out i noticed they had plastic buckets for the princely sum for $0.94 so i thought to myself "what the hell...lets see what happens"

One bucket

I know its not high tech but its better than having a pod soaking up all the heat from the turbo and it cost less than a dollar

let me know what you think

Step away from the bucket please :) .

Your car deserves better than this, what did it do to warrant this punishment?

Check out some plastics suppliers or use some flat alloy sheet.

I'd rather a poke in the eye, then I couldn't see what you've done.

Throw that abomination in the bin and let us never speak of this again.

Cheers, Dale

f**k i thought i was being harsh.honesty is the best policy dale

Sorry if I offended you Tom, clearly you have excellent taste in cars, you're obviously having an "off" day.

It happens; I had an "off" day once, in the early 90's and ended up driving a Triumph :) . At least your mistake only cost 94 cents...

But please, take it off, it makes the baby Jeebus cry.

Cheers, Dale

    • From the factory on RB26s there's a fitting on the intake manifold collector/"plenum" that provides pre-throttle boost signal. That's how they did it back in the day, I figure it's fine to replicate it.
    • I would be surprised if that wasn't the issue. It's probably telling you, that even if you remove the plastic liner, you may have some other clearance issues that may occur too in some scenarios. IE, tyre to guard. It looks like someone has already rolled the lip, but you may still have issues in the future IE, turning and hitting a bump etc. The fact it changes how bad it makes the noise when you are going backward vs forward is highly indicative that it's the tyre rubbing. They do make a terrible sound, even if you're only pushing a project car that has a liner hanging down on a tyre!   Has the car been lowered? If it has been, what is the measurement from the centre of the wheel hub to the lip of the guard straight up?

    • Mark's a bit smarter than people give him credit... He'd convince the person that is to become dead, to drive him to the forest first. That way his car has no evidence in it, and he's free to dispose of their vehicle permanently how he sees fit too...
    • But if you had to go bury a body in the forest, would you not put that in the boot? Most of them are >=90kg these days.
