Unser 03-10-2006, 08:14 AM I live in sunny South Florida and it gets hot here but the cup-holder cover is always open while driving and it never gets warm in there. I put a layer of Dynamat Extreme under the cupholder, and made no significant difference. expo1 03-10-2006, 08:42 AM http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=20051 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=25219 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=33699 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=34607 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=45791 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=62638 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=67533 http://www.rx8club.com/showthread.php?t=74013 theboy 03-10-2006, 09:11 AM thanks for the help guys. i am living in malaysia, its summer everyday here as you know. and this car is my daily car, so thats why i wonder if i can make some changes to improve the condition. dannobre 03-10-2006, 02:54 PM There were some DIY for insulating under the box on here somewhere...you could also put in an aftermarket midpipe...that really cooled this area down in my car. Shifty Devil 03-11-2006, 11:10 AM How about putting a peltier cooler in there to chill it down? Or maybe take one out of those electronic coolers and rig it. I've seen single-cup/can chillers that may be made to fit in there if there is room. |
