Do an Uncle John and order 10! Thats sure to get an order filled!

lol and the lambo still had fogging issues.

I'll grab a screen too. I'll email you when i've put the deposit in.

I'm not surprised given the 1st screen I got was one from John that he had left over from the old R34 days. We couldn't get that to work at all.

But does anyone have any details on who the V8 Supercar mob are?

I go through enough windscreens to know that although a great price, these are too dear for me.

12V hair dryer will sort my screen out :)

I'm with you on that one too Marlin!

I have a smallesh 12v hair dryer under the dash, been looking for a better one for some time now.

Have you come across any good ones?

No mate, I'm yet to actually remove my stock system and replace it with a dryer.

Beer Baron would be the go-to man for all things hair salon I reckon....... or wait, doesn't someone amongst us drive an MX5?

I'll have to get his opinion.... :P

well I did work in a hair salon as a teenager to make some cash. i give wicked head......massages and yes the owner did drive a celica (convertible too if I remember rightly). apart from that I dunno, I did bone a chick working there though and that was nice but a bit off topic. I also remember some kind of hair straightener that was in such high demand recently people were doing ram raids for them. perhaps if you had a couple of them and stuck them to the screen it would work, or if not at least you and your co-driver would have nice straight hair...

Hi Guy's

Any help appreciated

I have seen a proper fan unit for demisting, i will track it down/get a price.. yada yada

are you thinking of the ones that mark and jase have fitted. dont get one of jase he'll rip ya. haha.

they are a small 12v heater element (eliminates heater core) and they have a 12v computer fan. the box they come in is rubbish and every one we have fitted to race cars (would be a dozen or so) have had a custom box made for better air distribution. more fans could be added for better air flow.

they do however have there limitations. one race car we fitted one to ran at last years bathurst 12 hr in the suport calses and aparently it was spastic weather. anyway it wasnt enough to defog the window with everything working against it.

these are the best 12v heater and fan that i have come across and sell for around $200 but i would have to check. im thinking its under $200.

another option that can be used was somthing spotted on an old rally car at the alpine rally 2 years ago. the owners of this car had made a plate to sit a few mm off the top of the gearbox tunnel. this then had a computer fan on it and some ducting upto the windscreen. so they were sucking the hot air off the top of the tunnel. race cars are always hot in that area so its just a way of recycling the heat.

anyway way off topic and i agree these windows are cheap

Don't look at me Del,,,you and I have the same basic puter skills,,,maybe don't include the "neil's a great guy emoticon". :action-smiley-069::action-smiley-069::action-smiley-069:

If you want a good electric fan demister, and you're good at tinkering, I'd by two cheap hair driers, and pull them apart so they no longer have the handles etc, and create a special mount/way to force the air in (And not let it escape unless it is going past the window)

But for less weight, heated window = Win.

heated windscreen for less than a single race tyre. or about 1/20th targa entry fee.

sounds like an excellent investment to me.

I change at least 3 to 4 windscreens a year though.......

Regardless, as I said, excellent value for what appears a great product!

Too fast over Arrowsmith will do that.. spastic number of cars caught and passed

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
