February 25, 201510 yr It turns out the photo stitching software really struggles with this application but here are some more images taken with my thermal imaging camera you may enjoy. If you have any question about any of the images, camera, car etc then please feel free to ask :) First Image: Engine Bay, you get the jist but the stitching got a bit confused as it is actually many many images Second Image: Exhaust, note the center exhaust pipe may look hotter due to the difference surfaces, i.e. becuase the center pipe is more rusty it has a higher emissivity meaning it has a better ability of emitting its temperature as infrared energy meaning it looks hotter in comparison to an object of the same temperature with a low emissivity (such as shiny and polished metals) Also not the reflections apparent in some sections. Third image, outside view, the sun has been on my car all day, you can see the shadow on the car and also note some reflections. Fourth image, as third. I think they look beautiful !
February 25, 201510 yr Nice pics bud I've always wondered if the coolant pipes that run over the air box warmed the intake air . by the look of the first pic they do ,As they're seems to be a area of red near the maf
February 25, 201510 yr Author That may be able down to Sun on that side, but yea same with the duct sat on the radiator that's hot :)

February 25, 201510 yr Author May be due to it being more in the shade, and oh dave, when you want a new model let me know. We have some good offers on for the flir e8 at the min! Great camera

February 26, 201510 yr Author If you have the tools why not use them! and the main reason is I have been asked to do more images for a large online car news "thing" so keep your eyes peeled if you see my images else where !
April 7, 201510 yr I think he said the one he has was about 17k from memory or you can pay upto that [emoji15]
April 7, 201510 yr Author That's for the camera I used, they start around 800 pounds and go up, the more you pay the better the quality :)
April 7, 201510 yr Why didn't you order it from me!! I could have gotten you a better deal :) I'm not the boss , ended up spending 12k bosses money on a marketing gimmick lol
April 7, 201510 yr Author They have a model under 300 that clips onto an iPhone but you can't measure temperature and the quality is terrible
April 7, 201510 yr Author Well When you are easy for the next one, you can put my name forward :) we also offer very competitive calibration checks for the cameras
