I had a long look inside my engine bay and making a duct for the post-intercooler air won't be easy - the A/C's plumbing is right behind the IC and there is no easy way to move it aside
My mechanic is replacing my brake rotors and pads, everything
got rusted out from lack of use
Hopefully I'll see better coasting once he's done. Or maybe I should remove my brakes to save some weight? The front rotors weigh like 6-8kg each!
I got 10 minutes under the car while I was at the mechanic's so I started to insulate the oil pan. Only the front for now, if I don't have any problems with overheating or with the foam over the summer, then I'll add more before winter starts.
It is a rubber foam, 3mm thick, used for sound deadening. The specs say it is good between -40 and +105°C, the guy at the car audio store I got it from says that 90°C would be a better safety margin. But he also said that it is not flammable, so if it gets too hot then it'll just melt. We'll at the end of summer.
