eric Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 When there is no heater, perhaps a solution to have some more heat from the engine I have already closed the 2 louvers next the windscreen good for the rain purpose too Someone has any idea about that eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Buy a LHD 7. The heater was the first thing I took out of the 7. Feet are being BBQ´d after 20 minutes of driving and just 10 inches between the glowing exhaust and my feet... waaahhooooo...... My s/c-gearbox gives significantly heat, too, and my girl-friend burnt her leg some weeks ago on the ECU fitted in the passenger foot-well. So never saw low temperatures as a problem.. 😬 I guess drilling holes at some well thought places in the foot-box might work. Once had to go without the top-cover and it was BLOODY hot ! (LHD that is) Marius Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marius Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Ups, bonjour mon ami !! Didn´t see that you´re french ! Honestly, I never felt really cold in my 7. But haven´t done the Targa Liège though... Just give it a try and drill some 15mm holes into the top of the pedal-box. I´m sure that it´ll work to keep your feet warm. And if it doesn´t ... just put on a new alloy-plate. Should not be that expensive. Marius www.mospeed.de Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjwb Posted November 19, 2002 Share Posted November 19, 2002 Do be aware of the possibility of engine fumes entering the cockpit. Steve B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-B Posted November 20, 2002 Share Posted November 20, 2002 The warmth issue on the past two Targa-Lieges is relative to the snow level. 2001, no one could even do the pass in France, even though we tried in the TVR.... 2002, many passes, had to put some tape on radiator grille to make heater [r]HOTTER[/r] Ski socks are a good investment, as well as a decent pair of silk long johns.
