Default HOT!!!!

Does everyone have this problem?? My Stang seems to get alot of hot air coming up from the E-brake area after it's run for awhile. Any one else??? What's a good fix???

All mustangs get hot above the drive train tunnel. They are not very well insulated. You could probably take some Hi-temp fiberglass insulation and put in there to help counteract the heat. Never tried it myself though.

Mine gets so hot that I can't leave cold drinks in the cupholders for more than 10 minutes.. It's ridiculous..


I'm just going to be getting rid of my center console all together soon, so maybe I'll just put some sort of diamond plate, or something over the gap...

Hehe, I totally realized what I wrote now.. Doh!! But, I'd most likely insulate it w/ something like the heat shielding they use above Cat's, or gask tanks... Won't need much..
