Driver side footwell getting extremely hot

[zed4life]

My o8 roadster starts getting really warm in the footwell with all heating off.it seems like it's coming from under the car.worse when I have been giving it the beans..any ideas?

I'm pretty sure it's normal, after spirited driving or a long journey the carpet on the transmission tunnel is toasty.

i have no sound deadening in mine - after thrashing it for an hour we used a laser temp on it and it was hitting 60+ deg c , just remember to do some less spirited driving at the end to get some air flow through and keep the oil moving.

I'm in the 350z but I removed the cat heatshields and it would heat the cabin up nicely during winter

However the other day I decided to stick some heatshield material to the car.

I need to inspect it again but I'll ensure it's stuck to the car with some RTV gasket sealant (high temp).
