The P.O. installed an electric heater in Elvira. If I turn it on at night, the headlights dim by almost half.
It does put out a reasonable amount of heat, but the real problem is air flow.
The only time it adds any noticeable warmth to the cabin is if the top is off and both windows are rolled up.

If it was efficient enough I'd save weight with one of these rather than a heater coil and the associated plumbing, box and the like. You're right tho- I think I'll stick with using the logical method with my Subie engine... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/idea.gif)
