DIY on cars?? post in your Q?

[admehdivkia]

Dear admehdivkia;4093232]
Here are some idea of how air flow under the hood!(no so accurate) As u can see most of the flow facing toward the firewall(where the chassis no: is!) and down flow under the engine.
So! some idea to reduce heat under the hood:

-(white toyota)lifting the hood! Two screw each side, just add some washer but not to much were it will disturb engine cooling and aero of your ride!5mm-10mm. Not everyone like this idea were it make your car look like unfinished work of claim shop!

-(grey car)Hole on your hood! Where u must understand that the highest temp under the hood is when u queuing to go in and out KL or idling the engine at full stop! So remember that hot air always goes up on stand still! Correct?:rolleyes: Bad news is rain will pour in and JPJ can give u a ticket if they want to! accept factory cars! can ask body kit shop:rolleyes:

-(painted ex)ceramic coating reduce heat but not a lot, expensive but looks sexy Your choice!

-(ex manifold)Some idea where to wrap!(green) as a simple explanation, just imagine ex-manifold is very hot when engine is running! so if u wrap the hot surface to a smaller surface what will happen?:rolleyes: then smaller area that generate heat, so it get cooler! But u still can touch it Dont worry the heat wont build up on idle, were the output heat is fixed!

-(ex manifold)Some idea where not to wrap, hot spot and the crack point(red) usually ex manifold crack is cause by -sudden dramatic temp change. example straight to engine wash after a long ride!
-unsupported exhaust system, mean to much stress and weight rely on ex manifold!especially week stainless steel type manifold.(golden brown, used!)

-quality of weld and thickness of material(to thin and thick also cannot)

so....so...so few choice and idea to share but is for engine bay!
Hope this help! :wavey::wavey::wavey::wavey:

The most expensive one!

No...la! just kidding! any brand is ok, just have to notice the temp not less then 700 c.
get the car exhaust type not the fire figthing type!
u can tie it with stainless steel 1mm wire, s/s driveshaft boot clam or s/s hose clam!
There are a kind of protective spray to give the thermal warp last longer ( let u know later) or other alternative is to spray a layer of silver colour only(spray can):rolleyes:

Smoke will appear for awhile so no worry!

Have a nice try!

Hi Hanslin,

dear jameswwt;4112276, can i ask what type of stain is on your car window?

water spot!:rolleyes:
Usually u got it when u park your ride at the edge of house roof, unprotected window (window treatment). Our countries rain water that contains excessive trace elements including calcium, iron, lime, and other minerals found in streams and rivers. So if u park it in open area in rain, sunny, rain, sunny, rain, sunny, rain, sunny, sunny and rain unprotected u will get it not only window but all over your ride! if u look carefully!

Plan A: For home DIY try steal some (white vinegar) of your kitchen. If your water spots are mild, you can dilute the vinegar 2:1 with water:rolleyes:
Just rub on the window with an old t-shirt!

Plan B: See picture stain remover and polish!
Caution for manual rubbing dont do this on Sunday because u need to go work on Monday!








Worry about the price? ask 1st then do!


C: There some professional car wash center or paint shop around Sunway, where u can experience how they polish your window properly! cost? rm80- rm250. More if u bring your Ferrari!

Hope this help!
