I seem to be getting some water out of the evaporator drain onto the ground (not a lot, but some), but there is LOTS of water dumping out of the feet vents.

Any thoughts on most probably cause/solution?

Clogged drain? Never heard of it on a Type R, but I've heard of it in other cars. If the drain tube is visible from underneath, maybe gently push a coat hanger up in it?

I was thinking the same thing. There are no other drain tubes that I'm aware of.

(Igorant question coming...) What does the evaporator do (evaporate water?)? Could this be shot and playing a role?

I felt some drops of water on my feet in the ITR before but it eventually it just went away before I could figure out what caused it.

Yeah, this is like water POURING out of the foot vents under cornering, accelerating.

yup...the drain is clogged...mine was clogged with a spider web/nest....just pull off the rubber tube and make sure that is clear, and then check the plastic nipple that leads to it.

brings back memories...my passengers would be like WTF?!
i'd be like..yikes, sorry dude..chuckle.

it also leaves this nasty stench in your car after the water bakes in your car sitting in a hot parking lot all day...i hated it

It was quite a surprise the 1st time. I was pounding through an off ramp and got and my right foot got soaked at a delicate moment!

I'll perform the coat hanger exercise this weekend.

Thanks!!

Underneath your car near the evaporator area is a tube. take an air hose and shove it in that tube. should clear any debris out of there.

I used my plumber's snake and cleared a gunk of something out. About a quart of water gushed out. Very happy result!
