JamesC Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Well i had a go of making my very own air filter heat shield. It wasn't quite as easy as expected but that was because trying to cut it with a hacksaw was a PITA. Not the best result but it should keep some of the warm engine air out! hmmm... And i gave it a quick wash too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DannoSupra Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Makes me think 'is it worth changing the colour on mine?' when they look so good when gleaming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colsoop Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Get it painteed or powdercoated or something it looks a bit plain as is. Maybe get some of that weathering strip to put around the edges, that should clean it up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamesC Posted May 20, 2008 Author Share Posted May 20, 2008 Thanks Yeah it does look a bit plain at the min, would take ages to polish up though! Nice job, get it polished!!! Your car looks superb! Nice wheels I thought you meant the car at first i was thinking it did look shiney!! When you feel up to it you should have a go at cutting a hole in it for the top air duct so you have a cold feed going into it. Which top air duct? I thought there was only one from the bottom, under the light Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoliathJay Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 God I hate how good your Supra looks. Heading to the next JNE meet? If so, bring some Quick Detailer spray. Wipe off the drool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Which top air duct? I thought there was only one from the bottom, under the light The top air duct that goes over the fan shroud. As you can see from the picture you could cut a hole in your shield, then have the top air duct fitted for a cold air feed. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4329/dsc00162kt6.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The top air duct that goes over the fan shroud. As you can see from the picture you could cut a hole in your shield, then have the top air duct fitted for a cold air feed. http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/4329/dsc00162kt6.jpg Is that standard?
