heat

the heater in my 97' lx without a doubt, sucks, its not very warm, and it takes forever to get to the mild warm that it puts out, my understanding is you can change the thing that does the heat to put out a warmer air....anyone know how to do this?

Do a coolant flush. It should be done every 2-3 years, and restores the heat. I am doing mine next week cuz my heater ucks *** as well, it takes about 15 minutes for it to be really hot.

Yeah, try flushing your coolent. I have a 98 LX, and that thing puts out so much heat after driving for a few minutes in sub 0 temps that I have to move it from the mid position to the cooler side.
