I was thinking more of stopping the screen misting up than anything else.

Porka looks like a lot of fun, seriously cool gig to get

The car came with a JDM-Tyte terry cloth in the glovebox which has done a fantastic job so far of any minor window de-mistings. I can live with that I think.

The GT Street should be fun, but TBH id rather have 2days off so I can stay in bed.

I would, but that would mean an extra 45mins on the journey id say to go get it from the workshop, and something tells me Phil wont want to wait around there all night!

Ive took the big ass I/C to work with me so I can go straight from here.

Picked this up off Phil tonight, hopefully should cure my gay missfires



Lovely bit of kit, proper beefy coils, instructions, etc etc, cant ask for more, esp as if it had HKS badges on it itd cost about 600quid rather than the barginatious price they cost from Driftworks.

The leads nice too if you like that sort of thing (ie marker pens and other chemicals and solvents etc )

I hate, i mean really hate, electrics, so im a bit worried about fitting it, but its meant to be quite easy and there is detailed instructions, even if i dont understand em, lol.

Looking forward to fitting it though as I want the gay missfire to go!

Any links fella? Ive tried a few things to keep warm, they all sucked so far.

Stav, trust me, try to find a heating solution. Driving without one sucks total balls, it got to the point where we used to take a duvet and wore gloves every trip we made, there would just be two heads popping out from under it! It might seem OK at the moment but after a while (in a corolla at least) it just became a total chore.

They really do any good? All the in-car heaters ive ever known, inc the one that was in the ex-MJG/Topi Sierra, have been complete toss!

You'll never do it with a heatgun. You need to apply heat to the whole sheet and mould it over an existing screen ideally. Heating it with a gun will heat it in patches and make it look like its sagging. You may get away with using a thin sheet of lexan and just bolting it in tight, its pretty flexible stuff.
