Bought a nice black LCR on Thursday. Had the dreaded dash rattle. After searching on here I found the loose siren syndrome. Just pulled it apart and sure enough a loose, squeaky siren. Some sticky back foam and job done. Thank you SCN

Replaced my fuel pump relay and gave her a wash

Finished my heat shield

Phase 1 of pipe-polishing, and colour coded the brackets.

Wash > chamois > clay bar > Super resin polish > Meguiars carnauba wax.

Only took about 6 hours to do!

 

[Pete225]

Looks like a very similar bay to mine looks good mate!

Have you got a link for the ally sheet you used for this? Looks good btw!

 

[Pete225]

No mate I haven't, as my mate had about a metre square sheet of checkered ally on his back garden, that he paid about £6 from the local scrappy. It's 8mm thick I believe so will definitely keep the temps down!
When I was looking at buying some ally, RDS helped me a lot, but just done a quick search on eBay, and this is along the lines of what you need.
Any help on the template just ask, as I have the template to hand.

 

[KamiLDN]

Ahh thanks for that mate, definitely looking at getting some of that asap! Can't really go wrong with it being so cheap to do! And yeah if you've got the template handy I'd appreciate that! Thanks man

Cheers Pete. I think I got my inspiration from you! Gotta touch up the brackets and the engine cover due to over eagerness to re-fit them when they weren't quite dry.

Didn't realise you we're local to me too, I'm in Mansfield Woodhouse.

Finished my heat shield

Should have drilled the hole for the maf then bolted that to the shield, can't see how resting it on that grove will make it any difference to heat soak :/

Was wondering this myself tbh.... Get the hole saw out, damage can also be caused to maf if exposed to vibration and knocked as a result if not being properly secured....
