Interior heat, what do you use? - 09/04/22 01:01 PM
Well, I went to a car show the other day, and realized without carpeting, there is a lot of interior heat in the car. Its a Prostreet car where I want to keep the weight down, what products do you guys really like?

Try using Microspheres...mix them into some paint and apply to the floors/firewall. will provide a layer of thermal and vibration dampening.

I use stock carpet in mine. I need to get a headliner in my car, its the leading cause of becoming medium rare in the staging lanes.
After a few hours on the road EVERYTHING is hot. 2013 is probably the hottest drag week I have done. There was a day where you couldn't hold onto the cage because it was so hot.

I think you can get it with or without the jute backing pad. Jute free probably much lighter but loses some of the insulation obviously. Still retain oe look if that's at all a concern.

Is that the crap on the back side of it that I have to vacuum out from every nook and cranny? That might be an option if they offer it that way...The front piece was really heavy for carpet. I have not removed the back piece yet. I just want nice thin carpet, but I need somthing underneath for the heat. I don't care about the sound, the car is loud as ..... anyways.

The jute backing is where most of the weight is. I scraped all of mine off in the Road Runner. The cheap lightweight carpet, never looks good IMO.

I used eastwood's version of dynamat to line the doghouse in my van. Big difference in heat and noise.
