We covered the entire firewall with Sticky™ Shield and then re-installed the three factory heat shield panels.
The bare areas of the firewall now have a thermal insulation barrier to keep the driver’s footwell and the entire cabin significantly cooler.
Layering Sticky™ Shield on top of the factory heat shielding will help prevent the floor of the RX-7 from heat soaking and heating the cabin up.
Out back, we covered the factory muffler heat shielding with Sticky™ Shield as well.
It is very important to reflect and keep as much heat out of the fuel tank as possible for maximum performance.
Now that our FD RX7’s transmission tunnel and firewall are thermally insulated by Heatshield Products Sticky™ Shield, we can install the engine! Stay tuned.

That looks like some good stuff. If it helped the Viper sidepipes so much, it should make even more of a difference for a rotary.
I did the same on my race FD with a similar product. Made a massive difference – more than 30 degrees C cooler on the tunnel.
