If you don't have the AC then the system isn't cooling the air. It's just pushing air into the car, so you're pulling in warm air. This is how it is with every car. You can make it warmer, but only as cold as it can pull in.

Your windows getting steamy are another side effect of not using the AC. The AC actually dries the air out. What you're seeing is the moisture in the air settling on your windows because of the difference in temperature outside versus inside. Kinda like how a glass will sweat if you leave ice water in it, I suppose. The same thing can happen when it's cold outside and you have the AC off, blowing hot air.

I know what you're saying but take this into account, my previous car which a super ancient toyota celica liftback GT 1979 , when I set the air to cold air to be blown , it does blow cold air, it's not getting in as hot air.
This is what drove me mad. Cause even if I push the button to recirculate air shifting the knob to blue air is getting in warm not even cold. I want to know if this is happening to me only or anyone with the FRS / TOO 86.
Now on the other hand about the windows starting to get steamy , what really worries me is if water has gotten inside the car by some reason.
If you have read my initial statement , the rubber grummets from the rear of the car weren't placed by my deale those rubber grummets are removed for carrying the car and afterwards they need to be placed for odors not to get inside the cabin. Im worried water might have settled in already and the steam i'm starting to see slowly is a product of that.
Any ideas? I don't know if came across the thread of a guy saying the rear suspension strust don't have the rubber plugs placed and some water came up from there, producing condensation. So I'm getting really worried.
Thanks anways.
