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...

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:

Cheers

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

    • Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c
    • Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?
    • I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......  
    • I get into huffs with people when I suggest the MX5 looks so much better as a coupe than it does as convertible. Pretty sure I don't prefer the convertible version of anything. Good job on the hardtop! The next buyer will appreciate.
    • IMO wrap does have its uses, but like you said, quality wrap, and professional installation, would probably cost want a quality paint job does, but, the paint, if maintained, is basically for life, and much easier to touch up if required  In other news: it's pissing down here, with thunder, lightning and only some small hail "at this stage", luckily all "my" cars are undercover  I've also been contacted by a guy in Newcastle about the SS, he said he will come down next weekend for a look, we'll see how that transpires I guess 🫰
