I would love to see how you do your shield, could you do a write once it's done. I gave up on the heat shield, I tried using carboard as templet.. but it still wasn;t easy.
I've ordered the K&N as used by soundofaV6 and have got some sheetmetal together so i'll post some pics when its done

I'm not sure if i'll go as far as making a shield but i will be fabricating a bracket to hold the pod. Will definitely do a write up with pics

how are you going with the pod mount pullstarter ??
Hey guys not sure if ur interested but Rev Race gear sell a heat sheild metirial which is awsome.
I built a shield for my polo out of the stuff. About $90 for a sheet but its heat relfection qualitie is huge so keeps the pod nice and cold.
I am in tassie hers a pic a bit hard to see sorry.
Just made one out of cardbored then trnasfered it on the sheet and riveted it together and then used some door rubber stuff to run along the edges.
Sweet.
How did you cut the metal... I was in local bunnings, the aluminium is ok but I have no tools to cut it + mk3 is harder as it needs to cut into shape of side wheel. I gave up.
I used a pair of tin snips not very expensive really and ull have it for life this stuff is a samwich so two very thin bits of metal with some sort of filling. Easy to cut.
I was thinking about just using a sheet of aluminium I have here to fabricate a shield, maybe line it with something too... we will see what happens when I get the energy to do anything.
In short free materials I already have here is good, and something, even just a sheet of aluminium will work better than nothing
