Just wear a sponge in your helmet lining, it'll help absorb the soul glow

Doug this sounds like a good option. We can sort it out when u come round for the engine. I don't have aircon so there's no need for the ac box or to direct air from the sides.

I will have to get the controls for the fans to be wired in separately as I've lost all control with them because of the motec stealing them for dual injectors. Haha

roof vent is only good when moving tino, sitting in line at the Evo vs WRX day with the windows down and the roof scoop open i was still roasting.

STop being a whiney little girl. I did it last summer in scorching heat and survived fine.

call me crazy, but isn't it a requirement by law to have a working heater in a road registered car to demist windscreen/windows? Fuck getting a yellow on your car tino for something dumb like not having a heater!!!

Yes, it is a requirement, but I can honestly say that I have never heard of anyone being stopped by the cops for a heater check. I think there would be other things they would be looking at on this car.

I thought I put a post up yesterday but alas it disapeared. I looked at getting the front screen with the bars in it for my GC8. There was a guy on rexnet selling them landed in WA for about $900. Seemed like a really good idea but CAMS scrutineer said it was a bit taboo. Especially considering I also figured I might aswell rip the vast majority of the dash out as it was not doing a lot.

From memory you just wire them into the switch on the dash for the rear demister and run them both at the same time.

I still have the fan box in my car and if it is hot lets be honest. It does not really push enough air around to do bugger all.

Yes i agree have had the same situation without air con.. Moving hot air does fk all if u cant cool it. But when moving the roof vent works very well..

I would be interested if there were thin bars that were on either the bottom or top of window and actually were stuck on them so in case of windscreen breaking that it could be replaced without loosing 1k+ in getting a new windscreen.

But as doug as said i will most probaly remove excess junk and just keep central heater system..
