rubenm199253 · 02-14-2010, 10:54 PM

well i had this up in my build thead but no one answered so thought i would ask here. i took of all a/c stuff and all interior a/c out so that includes my heater core (buy the way FS) any way i also took out the plastic piece in the middle and noticed that there is a tube that comes from my radiator that goes inside well i thought that i dont want coolant dropping all over my floor board so i was looking at the component tin the middle and noticed it had this radiator looking thing in it so i removed it and put it on but i wanted to see if this would work please let me kno if not will have to put the whole thing back on or is there something i can custom fabricate to make it work like this to where i wont have to have that big plastic piece? here is what i have done..

What?

rubenm199253 · 02-14-2010, 11:35 PM

like ok when you take off your dash you have directly in the middle some thing for a/c th one that lets it out the middle one. well i wanted to remove everything so when i took it out i noticed a radiator line goes inside so i found out it goes to the middle piece looked inside and there was that little thing well i took it out and put it on with out all the plastic around it just the core basickly. so i wanted to kno if i leave it like that will coolant come out of it?

If you're not going to have it ducted and fan blown for the purpose of heating the interior then just remove the whole core and lines, then in the engine bay route a patch line between the two ends. That way you'll never have to worry about it leaking coolant into the cabin.

sorry new here wtf.....so i would do what jsut take it off then run the lines where??? because lines going in have coolant as you kno so where would i connect the tubing to?? sorry if this seems kinda of a noob question

rubenm199253 · 02-15-2010, 12:47 AM

Yes, take the lines off on both ends in the engine bay and run one line between the 2 connections on the engine.

I never understood why people would want to do this.... what if your window fogs up when you drive in the rain or when it's just really humid???

Are you gonna wipe it off every 5 min? That seems pretty stupid to me.

that 10 pounds he saved!! it better be for a race car... but can't be sure it'll even be a good race car if he can't use punctuation. poor car. poor education system. I blame the music.

Rx-7fetish · 02-15-2010, 04:03 PM

Right after we told him what to do he went over to the other forum and said someone told me to connect the lines in the engine bay is this true. He just copy an pasted his starting post and then asked that question. I guess us rebels at rotarycarclub can't be trusted lol.

Max777 · 02-15-2010, 06:13 PM

This is why the rotary has a bad name... people who can't figure out something as simple as this should not even be NEAR a race car, they should be in English 101, learning to spell and shit.

rubenm199253 · 02-15-2010, 07:39 PM

lol no i didnt mean it like that. Just wanted to make sure. Because if one person tells you something it could work but if alot of people tell you the same thing from different sources then your chances of it not working are very thin! I apologize about not using punctuation did'nt think i needed to but if it makes you feel anybetter

i did this because i usually role with my windows down even if it is cold and days when it snows or rains i just use the excursion. (always good to have an extra car)

Wow, nice Flaming Rx7club...

whoops, forgot where I was for a second there.

Not that I think the OP couldn't have tried harder to form a coherent sentence but, we're better than this.
