So i finally took steps towards shielding my pod today

headed to bunnings in search of perspex

i was appalled when they wanted $45 for a smallish sheet so i bailed

buttttttttt............ on the way out i noticed they had plastic buckets for the princely sum for $0.94 so i thought to myself "what the hell...lets see what happens"

One bucket

I know its not high tech but its better than having a pod soaking up all the heat from the turbo and it cost less than a dollar

let me know what you think

Step away from the bucket please :) .

Your car deserves better than this, what did it do to warrant this punishment?

Check out some plastics suppliers or use some flat alloy sheet.

I'd rather a poke in the eye, then I couldn't see what you've done.

Throw that abomination in the bin and let us never speak of this again.

Cheers, Dale

f**k i thought i was being harsh.honesty is the best policy dale

Sorry if I offended you Tom, clearly you have excellent taste in cars, you're obviously having an "off" day.

It happens; I had an "off" day once, in the early 90's and ended up driving a Triumph :) . At least your mistake only cost 94 cents...

But please, take it off, it makes the baby Jeebus cry.

Cheers, Dale

    • If you're friendly with a workshop that has a large scraps bin you can always ask to dispose of there. Otherwise theres always the places like sims metal etc depending where you are at https://recyclingnearyou.com.au/cars
