I'm curious if anyone here has ever put some sort of electric heater into their 914. 914-6 heat exchangers, or equivalent, are $1500+. A header can be had for $400 and increases performance. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) I can live without heat per se, but I will really need a defog option in my car for rainy days. Anyone rigged something up? Care to share?

If you are just concerned about windshield fogging, and not about actual heat, give any of the anti-fog compounds a try. Rain-X makes one that has been mentioned in the thread. There are several others in the market as well. The stuff has been around for quite a while, I used to use it to keep my paintball mask from fogging (before anti-fog masks became popular, as I said, its been about 15 years).
I'll be appling some sort of anti-fog to my 914 once it become drivable (also no heat), and lots of regular old rain-x on the outside too - the stuff makes a night and day difference if you get caught in a storm, you almost don't need wipers. Zach |
