June 10, 2008 - Hot.
It's a toasty day outside today (about 83F/28C) and the temperature inside the car was getting pretty warm on track. As I mentioned earlier, it's a hot little track to run. But even driving home it was warm. According to my pyrometer, the driver's footwell was 145F (68C). Obviously the ambient temperature will be lower during the Targa, but I am going to be generating lots of heat and I'm a bit concerned about some of the parts on the transmission tunnel. The intercom is right on top of it and is warm to the touch, while the brake proportioning valve is also getting the worst of it. So I think I'm going to find myself some adhesive heatshielding and see if I can cut down on the tunnel temperature from underneath.
