(2) if I'm going on a date with a chick who refuses to get on the back of my bike.
OR
(3) If the chick is to fat to get on the back of my bike.
(I mean i don't discriminate; i still want to hit-it but not at the expense of having to buy a new sub-frame for my bike.) -
Wicked!
I wasn't trying to spark a discussion about weight savings, but the point you guys didn't catch is this - Every 40 pounds add up. If you build your car saying, "Oh, its only 40 pounds." and then you do that 10 times throughout the build, thats 400 pounds. 400 is very significant to performance. My point was I build with weight in mind all the time, and always consider the total outcome.
When i want to go balls out fast i get on my other ride:
The Z is :
(1) my fun cruiser when the prevailing weather conditions are not conducive to ride a bike
OR
(2) if I'm going on a date with a chick who refuses to get on the back of my bike.

Did you weigh the heat shield material you put in?
I use the whole roll (50sqft) of Heat shield which weighted 3 lbs. Add to that the foil tape and adhesive and i'd say its approximately 4 lbs max.
This is a 100% street car and hence comfort and ride quality are very important to me.

UPDATE HEAT SHIELD INSTALLED
Just installed some heat shield. I use a product called Reflectix: Double Reflective Insulation that i bought from Home Depot ($25 for 50sqft).
I read a bunch of reviews from people on the Corvette forum who seem to have had very good results shielding the cabin from engine / exhaust and transmission heat.
Reflectix is very easy to work with and I with help from dear ol' dad managed to get the firewall, transmission tunnel and cabin floors done in about 3 hrs (Start to finish). I used 3M super 77 adhesive and Aluminum foil tape to stick and secure the Reflectix.

ohhh the things you see working at home depot every day..
that reflectix is just like the windshield shades... its made up of a bubble wrap with a silver type foil. Im sure its very effective.. but I don't know about use in the engine bay
Home Depot also sells the following products which I believe are excellent, cheap alternatives

The specification selction says that Ultra touch has a R value of 0?

I've been reading a lot of good reviews on other auto forums about the Reflectix: Double Reflective Insulation. What do you guys think?

What happens when it burns?
Why would it burn on the inner side of the firewall?

So I need some cheap heat shield to put on the inside of my firewall and transmission tunnel. I was wondering if anyone had used the duct insulation they sell at Home Depot or Lowe’s as heat shield in their car with good results?
Below is a link to the product I am interested in using.

Well I think I might be interested in adding a set of side skirts to my 1970 240Z. Please let me know if you have a set laying around you are not using and your asking price.
Thanx

Thanx for the advice guys. I'll go ahead and pass on this motor.
Just for my reference what is a good price base line price for a LS1 or LS2 and a T56.

Looks fantastic. Did you end up using all 100ft?We used approx 90sqft

WOW just finished a pita job of sound deadening the car. My dad did 99% of the work . Currently my car does not have any stereo equipment but i hope to put in a simple system later on down the road.
The sound deadening i used is called Rattle trap made by fatmat. I bought it on eBay; 100sqft shipped for $160. The mat stick very well to all surfaces. Also dont be fooled into thinking that this is a quick job that can be done in 1 afternoon. It take a good bit of time to make sure the surface is clean and ready for application and the pieces are cut well so everything fits together nicely with no wrinkles and huge overlaps at the edges.
Here are a few pictures of the finished product.
Can you guys recommend a good heat shield for the firewall and transmission tunnel.
-
That would be a ZX n/a dizzy. The turbo model has no vacuum advace.Also, those are referred to as the "E12-80" dizzy if you are doing a conversion.
Thanx for the help guys.
Well it would appear that is i do the conversion i'll have to swap out my tach for a later model tach and i'm not to sure i want to do that.
-
Hey can you guys help me identify if this is a Turbo distributer or a N/A distributer.

This is the first time i have seen this car and i must say it looks amazing. Anyone have better pictures of the car?
