quite a cool idea there m8, makes more sense to blow from underneath as heat rises - makes the most of it. with ducting i bet that'l be dead good.
how louds the motor on the inside of the car.

real men take the heaters out completely drive with their windows in the middle of winter because the windows steam up othewise.

Not a bad plan. I can't understand thse track cars that ditch the heaters to save a few kilo's (for speed) then drive at 1/2 pace on a dull/cold day because they havent got enough hands to wind the windows down, wipe the screen, change gear & steer.

Heaters are for winners!

Is there an external air source? if not you will find the condenstation will just recirculate.
