i am melting

[105e]

Days like this I wish I hadn't removed the aircon.

 

[Budgie]

Motoring equivalent of ordering a Vindaloo in front of the boys, then crying in the whatsapp group the next day.

 

[jamesycc]

windows down, there's your aircon....!

 

[Chris_Beer]

God damn Cup's !

 

[Drew57]

Mine has aircon but is now just blowing hot air in my face. Should probably do something about that...

Turning it off would probably help..

That's just reminded me to set the pre-conditioning via the app for nice chilled entry when finishing work, oh the joys of technology

 

[Djw John]

Move to Scotland. So far I've regretted it twice. Once when it was genuinely hot and once when the sun was beating into the car on the motorway and the wife and child didn't want the Windows all the way down.

 

[105e]

First time ive really given it a second thought in 5 years, and as stated once the windows were open.

Well it sounds so obvious when you put it like that

That's just showing off. Not jealous at all...

 

[GiT]

Rolf is ICE COLD. Air Con FTW!

 

[Knuckles]

[Mar172]

Roof down doing 50 0n the a roads going home

Amen.


But what about that 10kg weight saving and those hella BHP gains???

 

[Chris_Beer]

We all live in the UK and the only day it gets sunny and warm people can't cope without the air con lol. Personally love having the windows down and the fresh air.

Make sure you all have your heated seats ready for winter?

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Was 33 degrees in my car when I left work this afternoon. Climate soon saw to that. Just a shame I don't have it in the house!

 

[Knuckles]

Amen.

I'm obviously not a real man :,(

 

[Marc.]

Thoroughly enjoyed my heated seats this morning, and my climate control this evening on the way home. HTH

 

[MarkCup]

I'll never go back to no AC unless it's a proper functioning and competitive race car that's actually used for racing.

I see absolutely no point otherwise.

I love aircon, where I'm stood right now it's 36C, feels like 41C, and humidity is in the 80s. It's life saving tbqfh.

 

[Gorms]

I have just come back from American and the temperature was 44-46 degrees most days. The AC decided not to work on the car we hired and it was very close to being dangerous. I don't know how people live without it.

 

[dann2707]

tbqfh.

WYLTAAWTTA?

Spoiler

Would you like to add another word to that acronym

I installed an inline blower to Boris today. s**t is powerful as f**k and genuinely sounds like a leaf blower.

 

[DaveDreads]

I had no choice but to rip mine out, the alternator bracket came loose and smashed the pipes to bits, the whole lot was binned and cup setup installed for an extra 0.2 bhp, but when your work has no aircon and your house has no aircon, getting in a car with no aircon is hardly here nor there, at least I can have a 30mph breeze coming through the window unlike everywhere else.

If down there is anything like up here, the breeze will be hot as f**k.

I'm getting my air con sorted tomorrow. It's been alright but not as cold as it could be. I need to be genuinely freezing with it on to offset the face melting temperature outside.

 

[DaveDreads]

I've been in a warehouse with no windows all day, didn't even know it was hot until 5:30, but by that point it wasn't really that hot anymore.

 

[youngarthur]

Here in N/E Scotland, it was a balmy 13 deg c., and raining, and this is the height of summer. Who need aircon?. Up here you need a heater.

 

[imprezaworks]

I did a day in my old monaco when it was a tad under 1 million degrees. By lap two I realised I am unfit, and hot.

 

[Djw John]

The aircon switches off at full throttle anyway, I was still roasting on a track day even when it was working.

 

[marinemackay2003]

Supercharger = cooler than air con

The extra 80bhp and 70lb ft I got made it a difficult decision.

In the end, the air con lost. Just. 😂

 

[McGherkin]

Amen.


But what about that 8kg weight saving and those hella BHP gains???

What BHP gains?

Turn the aircon off, the clutch disengages and removes the load anyway. 0bhp gain.

It does entertain me greatly when people with fairly stock cars delete the aircon. Particularly when they have several KG's worth of K-tec boot-and-bit-where-the-rear-seats-were mat sat there. Or have the roof lining and lump of tar behind it present. Or even the spare wheel.

Supercharger is no excuse Cub :tonguewink: There was a kit floating about years back that let you have both by locating the 'blower on the gearbox end of the engine with an intermediate shaft IIRC. I'll let you off though because a) it never reached production and b) I hate to think what it cost.

Lol - sounds well overdue for a re-gassing.

Never had as good an air-con as I did in the Evo. That thing blasted Siberia in your face.

The pipes on mine were smashed to pieces, so it was either rip it out and go cup setup for free, or buy new pipes and pay to have it regassed, the free option won.

 

[McGherkin]

You almost had aircon? You never had aircon. You never had your car.
