Thanks! Not sure what I will put back in just yet. This is mostly going to be a track car, but I still want it to look respectable.

Thanks guys!

Not a very exciting update, but it's what I've been working on... Figuring out the climate control. The car needs to at least have heat and if I can use the S2000 controls then that would be awesome. The blower box / heater core / diverter boxes from the S2000 were huge, but I think they will work nicely. 

A workbench full of junk: S2000 and corolla stuff mixed in. Tried to adapt the S2000 actuators to the corolla stuff, but it wasn't happening.

Decided to trim the fat off the bulky S2000 boxes and use them. Got rid of the evaporator core and some of the casing.

Made some mounts and bolted it up

New location for heater hoses

The diverter box even fits in there pretty well! Go pedal clearance:

This port on the rear is for floor mode. I can't fit any ducts in this car though...

So I got creative and made little diverters.

This is what it looks like from the driver side floor board. Should work pretty well at keeping my piggies warm in the winter!

Like I said, it's not a very fun update, but I needed to figure out what I was going to do with climate control before I painted the bay. I'm hoping to wrap this part up soon so i can patch a few things, stitch weld and paint the bay.
