Damb heat here in NJ makes my car feel slow!!!
 
Hey, here in NJ its been like 100 degrees for the last few days. My car has been feeling it too. Feels like i'm losing power in this heat. Happen to anyone else??? Also, when my fans come on, my idle drops a lot. Is this normal??? Tell me what u think.

Yeah it happens to me too out i Colorado today it was mid 90's and i'm only seeing .59 bar on my FC Commander. But in the evening I see .63-.65 bar. GODDAMN SUN. :rant: :rant: :rant:

yup hot weather sucks for turbo cars, make sure you don't run too hot in the FD !

I built a climatron around my FD so it doesn't get attacked by the nefarious heat monsters. I get quite a few stares while on the road. :D

You think it's hot in NJ? Shit, I'd give my left nut to be back in NJ (for many reasons). This heat in TX blows! Above 100 every day.

BTW, someone inferred that the FC Commander measures Boost in bar...it measures boost in kg/cm^2, and yes there is a difference. 14.7 psi=1 bar, and 14.2psi=1 kg/cm^2. I could be wrong, but I'm 99% sure I'm right :D...

1 atm = 14.7 psi
1 bar = 14.5 psi

We Texas boys know that are cars are really fast.
Why, because they have to be made to be fast with our 7 months of high heat and humidity.

HOT
 
I moved to Phoenix 4 months ago...Over 100 every day here, I can't even drive it during the day. So I'm saying f**k it and moving to San Diego. 75 every day there!!:D
