Center console and foot well are very HOT...Any ideas?
Hi Again All,
My new RX8 is treating me GREAT...
After following a club members suggestion on breaking in my new sled at just over 800 miles I was going to let loose up to 6000 rpm's BUT as I hit around 5300 I noticed I was going 102 miles per hour UP A HILL no less so I still have not hit 6000 rpm...
WHOOOO HOOOOO
Now the subject of this post...
My center console and the foot well get way hot when I am driving around town. It has not been too hot around here (mid 80's at most yet the center console and my feet are literally cooking... My Ipod would burn my fingers if I held it after around 20 minutes of driving.
ANY thoughts??? I am thinking I need some heat shielding underneath my space ship...
Cheers and thanks for any thoughts,
Yogi

Yeah, I'm pretty sure its the tranny or at least thats part of it. Maybe exhaust too. Its not really uncommon as far as I know. I realized it when my friend decided it would be cool to keep a candybar in one of the center storage compartments lol. Mine def isn't hot enought to make my ipod burn me though.
