Ditching the heaters is a No brainer IMO.
Seeing people at a damp trackday in October limping round wiping their screens was comical.

It might get thrown out next summer if it gets really really hot again, then I can regret it in winter
It'll probably stay though. Over the next month I'm going to be trying to seal the warmth inside the car abit more anyway by making some front and rear door panels

Considered putting it through the spare wheel well actually to save a 'bend' in the system | |

my exhaust tunnel gets hot enough to warm my hands up if its really cold, the trick is to stop any draughts, then its ok with just a heated screen

I've only got 2 main hole in the bulkhead, which is where the gearstick lever goes through. I lost the rubber thingy that blocked it up lol
oh, and a few holes in the exhaust tunnel where I slipped with the drill  | |

| Re: Vauxhall Corsa 2.0 XE Club
those holes are the worst thing, as the wind really makes you feel the cold, i remember going round sealing all mine after i drove to a particularly cold donnington track day with my spare jumper over my legs because they were getting so cold in the draught | |

End needs changing as it's currently for a 4" tailpipe, whereas mine is 2.5". One end fits over my current tailpipe, so effectively I will have a 3 box exhaust system, rather than 2 | |
