Hey all. Any interest in a fairly cheap and effective way to keep both feet comfortable while driving your s14 with the heat on your feet? I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I have seen it mentioned in the "you know you own a 240" thread some where. Anyway I can do a quick write up with pics and the info if anyone would like it.

oem sound deadening installed, oem carpet, oem heatshields, shouldn't have a problem.
Or do a JZ swap.

No, OP means the damn downpipe sits right underneath your foot and makes it uncomfortable after any extended period of time. I drove from Texas to SoCal with a towel under my foot that I stole from the hotel.

This, or Thermo-Tec Thermo-Guard or their Cool-It Mat.

Wrapping the downpipe in fiberglass exhaust wrap helps a lot imo. I have also lined my firewall, trans tunnel and surrounding area in that gold heat tape, but that can get expensive. I also kept some of the factory heat shields.

i am suprised no one has suggested removing the heat source: the catalytic
ditch that and your problem is solved, assuming smog is not an issue!!! :P

Yeah sorry, I should have been more clear. I was talking about when you have your heater on all the floor vents blow right on your right foot so it gets really hot. Mean while your left foot remains cold. Might not be a big deal for most, but in my daily during the winter its kind of annoying.

I drove one as a daily for 9 years. Either don't use the vent and wear thicker socks, or live with it.
