I lost over 20lbs in 4 hours!

Being without a heater, the cold wont be the real problem the humidity will. If you can manage to keep the inside dry enough during winter you shouldnt have too much need for a defroster. That being said, its not something I would do to a DD. Do you have alternate transportation just in case?

 

[Tanya]

Nope.

I prefer to live my life stubbornly. Made it through a winter in NY with no heat, and made it through summers in South Florida in a black car with no a/c. I can deal

 

[Facime]

well it wasnt your personal comfort I was referring to so much as your ability to see through your windows. You can always dress warmly, but fogged windows can be a real problem in the PacNW.

You could hook up a power inverter and plug in a hair dryer to defrost, lol :sarcasm:

 

[Tanya]

lol, Iwasn't really refering to my personal comfort either. I obviously wouldn't have "survived" if I was driving around with fogged windows crashing into everything. CRacking the windows just a couple inches helps a lot. And I was just given an idea recently to buy a defrost strip to put along the bottom of my windshield and wire it to the rear defrost

The V8 Supercars (domestic race series) run a heated front screen here to combat screen fogging on wet days as they leak water like a sieve.

I had MKIII seats in my MKII before I sold it. I miss that car.

 

[shaeff]

Sweet. I'll get a MKII one day.

Oh, and since everyone seems to be talking about seats: I put my MKIII seats in my '94 Toyota 4x4. So comfy!

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

You're 70 lbs lighter but have no creature comforts whatsoever... That's kinda reaching for... what... 0.1?

But, w/e, keep doin what you do Tanya. :icon_bigg


Atleast I don't see a HUGE pile of rust from someone beating on a rear 1/4 of a mkII. :biglaugh:

 

[Quin]

Or a huge pwned spot from running in to a tool box

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ lol, atleast I've driven my Supra? and it was running when I bought all the crapp for it when I started it and it hit the tool box? I've got two lines where the bumper hit and paint is missing, wooooo. I'm not hiding the fact that it happened to begin w/, and WTF does it have to do w/ anything?

I don't care what people do to their cars, and they shouldn't care what I think to begin with. I don't, one look at my choice of color will prove that to any and all.

I'm just saying that if you're running 13.5 and want to make 13.4, by all means gut the car or whatever. I'd much rather have a radio, cruise control, defroster, carpet, rear seats, dash, interior panels, metal supports, and the like.

 

[Facime]

^^I agree with this guy, I'll keep my creature comforts thank you. But in Tanyas case I think she pulled the parts partly because they werent working anyway.


of course if the mk3 owners used that rationale there would be alot of em running around without engines in 'em.. :sarcasm:

 

[Tanya]

I'm happy with the comforts I do have. It's not like I traded out my wannabe Recaros with milk crates! I thoroughly enjoy driving my car. My only complaint is that I don't have a radio yet.

My whole goal is to run mid-high 13s in this thing. I watched a flat black POS mk2 with a grungy looking 5MGE run a 14.0 last year at Pacific Raceways. It had a Pacesetter header and a small exhaust that dumped out behind the passengers side tire. Supposedly had cams but owner couldn't tell me what kind. The car was gutted.

If that thing can do it, then mine can too (just maybe not with me driving it, heh). And if my $2,000 mk2 can break into the 13s, then everyone can just kiss my ass, creature comforts or not. :sarcasm:

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

lol, I removed my AC for this reason... plus I spent $200 trying to get it to work w/ no luck.

I'm sure Tanya is smart enough to know what can go and what can't, or really shouldn't be anyway.

I don't see her pulling her bumper supports or anything like that anyway.

 

[Quin]

I've driven mine, just not a lot. Don't get your panties in a bunch, it was just a joke

 

[Tanya]

My heater blower didn't work, then I broke one of the metal pipes off the heater core trying to get the hose off when I did the engine swap. So...bye bye useless dead weight!

I may eventually go manual windows, but I doubt I'll have the patience enough to scour yards for Celica parts to make that work.

Not really going to rip out too much more. Eventually I will be ripping out my seats and carpet to do radio wiring and dyeing, and I will scrape off the sound deadener crap underneath. For races, my back seats will stay out.

 

[JustAnotherVictim]

I was expecting to see a baby.

 

[Poodles]

^^fuuuuuck, was beat to the punch :rofl:

that would be one BIG baby...

 

[Sil]

The only downside to yanking the car apart is you might find rust you didn't even know existed, that'll make you very depressed.

 

[mkiiSupraMan18]

^ You should assume it exists until proven otherwise... They are supras after all.
