Last night the Mirage got the Kats 1000W circulating tank block heater that I had in my Metro. I miss having this heater in a car. It is SO nice. ~30 minutes with this thing on brings coolant temps up over 100F.





Not the greatest mounting point, but it is low in relation to the engine. The hose runs are long though.

I'm still working on a setup for plugging in cleanly. Not sure how I'll do that yet. I'll probably use one of these things though. A guy on MirageForum posted it, and its a lot nicer/easier than the Marinco plug that you have to wire in.
