binliner 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 that's very precise... did u measure it? Link to post Share on other sites
SankysVR6 1 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 LOL, No just a random guess. Am i correct? Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 He 'thought it' ;-) it would have to be quoted as degrees above outside temp and would vary slightly due to colour, heat/sound proofing removal and maybe even 'bling'. I would also have thought that the temp at the back would be highter than the front, especially when actually moving.Needless to say; hot! Link to post Share on other sites
binliner 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 LOL at sanky! More specifically I'm after the temperature of the top of the plastic engine covers... wondering if a product I'm thinking of using can cope with the heat or not Link to post Share on other sites

DAZVR6 0 Posted September 9, 2008 Report Share Posted September 9, 2008 Ive stuck my outside air temp senser up inside the bay next to my induction kit so i could moniter the temp of the air being drawn in. Gets to anything between 30-50 degrees. Not been on the motorway yet to test out if it gets hotter or cooler, but will soon. Link to post Share on other sites
