Bro SpicyRed, if you happen to go down NE air-con to purchase the adhesive tape, ask the sale people for another type of black adhesive tape without the soft rubber backing but a thinner version, more adhesive power and also cost $7 only.

I didn't start bec I was late (followed the convoy fr Sengkang to W.Coast) and the RAIN

Anyone want to continue the DIY next weekend? preferable at a car park in the east

I couldn't wait liao. Took leave today and did it at my carpark. Basically quite happy with the job, except for the parts that are bulky or have clips holding the pipes. I "plastered" these areas massively and used up almost the entire 2m insulator. After driving the whole afternoon, I found that the some "stickers" came loose. I strongly suggest to use the black plastic cables to secure your "masterpiece". I bought a pack and you guys are welcome to use them.

Forgot to mention: the ride IS cooler after the DIY. OK for me with air con set at 24 to 25 degrees and 1 fan speed (in the day)

by turbo4ev 6th July 2009, 11:24 pm

anyone can link me to photo of end result of the DIY? i try to find in the forum but in vain

Glad to know that after the DIY you enjoy a cooler ride... nice ah... Very Happy

Forget to mention, if the adhesive tapes come loose its because you did not tape hard on the rubber insulator
You can apply the glue adhesive to the end of the tape to secure it.

by kysoong 6th July 2009, 11:38 pm

hmm, i realised there's condensation and water droplets from the aircon pipe. Will it affect the DIY insulation if we cover fully? Paiseh, a bit ignorant on such matters... Suspect

You have to clean and dry the piping prior to the insulation.

by kysoong 7th July 2009, 12:56 am

ok, i guess the insulation should cover the pipe fully and firmly to prevent any spot of condensation... Smile

The beginning half and the ending half is the same except the center portion is different by a marginal length only. You can exchange with other bros for the uncut length with yours. Don't waste!

Same to you bro yunnyking77, I would suggest to do it this week end, either Sun or Sat. Anywhere will be fine for me.
And don't wait too long, especially those with half completed mod.

by kysoong 7th July 2009, 7:55 am

just out of curiousity... are there any local shops that does insulation for cars? and how much they charge?

by joepele 7th July 2009, 10:02 am

I thought I saw some tape type of insulation material...

Not sure if that would be easier to apply / install?

Something like this?

Armaflex

This is the tape for covering the rubber insulator tube and tighten it, and not for the insulation. Have a look at my pic
posted in this thread. Boo don't take the easy way out, its an hour job.

Andi: Your craftsmanship is so good and the layout so neat. I plastered all the exposed areas, no wondered I used up all almost all the 2m insulator. In conclusion: my kung-fu no enough

what the adhersive call ar?
Maybe i go get then do it at my own sweet time...

by turbo4ev 8th July 2009, 9:39 pm

andi, how u cover the place where there is a holder?

First use a pliers to take out the small black nut (size 10) then remove the cover and start the insulation from here.
