I've got a question...
I've currently completed stripped out the dash board and most of the heating/cooling system from the car but I can't decide whether to go all the way and remove the heater matrix too? If I did I would completely remove all the associated plumbing back to the block where I could just loop the inlet and outlet together or fit blanks.
The car is purely for the track, even has a manual steering rack now, so its going to be mainly dry (warm) days and might even be trailered there and back depending how the MOT goes. If its cold I'll wear a hat, if it hot I'll open the window.
So I can save some weight, clean up interior, simplify the cooling system and remove possible leak paths but would the engine run noticable hotter due to having less coolant and a smaller volume?
Has any one done this?
Cheers,
Neil
