Man...... just where does the outside air come from into the interior when it's set on fresh (not recirculating) air............ beautiful 70 degree day here in Florida and after a 10 minute ride followed by the car sitting in the parking lot for 30 minutes I took off.....sunroof and drivers window open and on fresh air it felt like I had the friggin heat on with the temp set all the way to cool....................this only started to cool after about 10 minutes of driving or so............. if I didn't know better I'd think the air was being taken from the engine compartment..........is this common?........I hate the thought of using the AC all the time in the summer.......... a little much for that little 1.3liter, even if it IS cranking 255hp...........Thanks,

David

 

I don't know, every time I have drove mine, the air coming out of the vents gets warm after driving for several minutes, especially if driving aggressively.

I have used the A/C on a 70 degree day already. BTW, I really didn't notice much of a drag just tooling around with the A/C on, but I wouldn't recommend it for racing.

 

Lucky... when I am driving around here in the 40s. I get heat only out of the floor (after driving it for about 20-30 minutes). I think half of that is just comming through the firewall. My vents blow out semi cold air. In the summer... well... my A/C isn't working.

 

Since you have no mods, I'm assuming you still have the nuclear reactor (a.k.a. PRECAT) installed. This alone generates a LOT of heat.

 

Thanks for the feedback, guys....... seems like I'm not alone in this symptom............Flybye....... you're right........ but I just bought a SS DP (pettit-new) out of the classifieds here so I really hope it helps...........sounds like it'll give me a little extra HP and a new sound so that oughta be a good 250 spent............

Thanks again........
