i made a lot of progress on my Z. too bad it wont be on the road for another 2 months . i put on the manifolds, most of the wiring, radiator, belts, lights, airdam, and thats about it
Ive had my seats for a while now and they already had hole drilled in the bottom of the seat. they bolted onto the rails without any problems but if I move the seat forward to a driving position the wings hit the door panel. but since i'm missing a bolt for the rail on the floor the door can close completely. some people have told me to bend in the wings slightly (enough to get it to have clearance) I tried this but it is nearly impossible to get it to bend. I can fit a finger inbetween the seat bottom and the trans tunnel, so would fabricating some brackets to move the seat slightly to the right work, (going horizontally from on rail to the next to keep stability) or is there an easier way?
I got my rollbar from IoPortRacing.com, heres the link.

i have been putting my manifolds back on and i was wondering if the heat shield between the intake and exhaust is really necessary. Will it cause the car to get heat soak (more then usual), if so can that be fixed with a manifold blanket thing (MSA)? are there any dangers of taking it off?
btw i used the search function
