as the tittle says.... yesterday i read 110 degrees in the LA area......... anyone having problems with their FDs?

anyone with FDs as their daily drivers?

 

I've driven mine in Bakersfield at 110 and didn't have any problems.

 

Water injection and fan switch mod for all!

 

wow if anyone is driving their 7 in that heat i hope they have a/c. i could imagine 210f water temps to be normal driving temps for that kind of weather.

 

Pussies, its been over 100 for the last week up here in Nor. Cal. Last summer we had two weeks of over 100.
Drove up to Redding when it was 115 last week Thursday. Mr. Fd ran 205 to 210 with ac blasting @ 75mph. Stock radiator, redline water wetter, all the bolt-on's. Drive it to work 3X per week. Not a good time to try a track day though...

 

A/C what's that?

 

i hope this is a joke..... cuz you have 700 posts and u dont know that A/C stands for "air conditioner"

 

WOW. I think you fail to realize the sarcasm. ROFL

 

Yep. I'm saying that cuz i took mine out.

 

sarcasum on the rx7club boards blastfumy

 

I always use my a/c, warm or hot LOL. Sometime I just roll down all the windows and put the sunroof all the way back and just chill.

 

I'm in venice beach, and work in santa monica, and the FD is my daily driver. Every saturday we go driving up in the mountains where it's about 100 degrees out. Last saturday the car slowly stopped boosting until it cooled down. (boost slowly dropped to zero as the car got hotter) My mechanic says that the stock hoses are heating up and collapsing under boost- which makes sense, but i've never heard of anyone else with this problem.. Some say it could be a check valve or solenoid? My water temp guage stopped working for some reason (Defi link guages) so i dunno what temps are, but the egt seems normal.. Anyone have any insight to the boost problem (or defi diagnosis)?

Mods: EGT, boost, water guages, downpipe, AST, Koyo radiator (with water wetter), 99+ stock turbos, coilovers (not that suspension should make a difference)

 

Oh, and I think i need to recharge the AC, anyone know where i can get that done in the santa monica area?

 

I need to do a fan mod switch but I do the same too (minus sunroof part)...I do it at all stop lights and more often if the drive is longer n' slower (i.e. downtown to the beach).

 

I daily drive my FD.. although its only been like 90* F where I live, hottest I seen on the FD was about 210 after boosting, norm temps seem to be around 195-200* F though.

Stock cooling system with fan mod and FC thermo sensor.

 

i was trying to go along with it... but i see that you wont let it happen -_-
