Just wanted to know if anyone else's car ran hot. OR had a hard time starting During this hot weather.. And problems you came across.... The beeper on my car started working (the one that lets you know you lights are on) Like it soldered itself for a day or two.. car also Ran slow no power high gas use is what i noticed belts slipping. So Glad i dont live in texas.. Thank god, Its Hard on cars in there 20s.

 

I just didn't drive my RX-7 for a few days. No air conditioning and over 90 degrees with dark leather seats and a stuck passenger window is bad news. It was fine today, though.

 

black on black kills

i blew a heater hose in bellevue ended up pushing my car down 124th ave in bellevue to a good year lol

 

I didn't drive it on the hot Wednesday but I drove it Tuesday and I was cooking I have never seen air temps that high. they were in the 70+ degrees Celsius. I was getting a little worried.

 

I moved my hood latch up so my hood would always be open about 1.5 inches, made a big difference in under hood temps. I was experiencing vapor lock the carb was like cooking the fuel.
It cut out on me twice and need ATF to get her going again.
I am going to modify a hood and add vents so the heat can rise and escape..
Mine is a DD

 

the fd and the na-t car ran fine in the heat.

 

I had a track day last sunday. She ran perfect! I didn't even have the skid plate on it either. But the overflow did bubble over after the 4th run. I just vented it w a rag then put fresh water in till it was full. Never saw the gauge go past 'normal' operating temp either.


But my idle was stupid low. It died a few times coming to a stop w the clutch in. No biggie though.

 

no worries but I wish I had ac, I had a little bit of a coolant leak but slapped on a new hose and good as new.

 

My suby's stainless braided fuel line ruptured with the heat....
I'm lucky the car didn't catch fire or go super lean as I was headed back from Seattle...

Sad day.

 

I got vapor lock twice and i saw 195 water temps on 520 at 5pm stuck in traffic when my phone said it was 102* at the local weather station.

 

My buddy's water was at 240*.....

 

I had a good time in my FD in 100 Deg weather. I just change the setting on my fan switch to run constantly and it ran cool. On the other hand riding on the bike was scorching hot and I am not going do that again lol.

 

wow i hope that was a pissed-on car. i cant imagine a rotary surviving that too long.

 

I just sweat a lot inside of my car because of no A/C. And I just put redline water wetter to lower down the temps a bit

 

My black on black FD was ok... IAT's climbed fairly high when I got stuck in traffic and were slow to drop down on the highway.

 

No problems here.. but I did avoid driving before 6:30 most of the really hot days..

 

My gas mileage seemed to decrease a little, but other than that it did great! I was very impressed, actually.

 

My car did great. I had no problems this week. Well I think I may have blown all the packing out of my muffler. I was having way to much fun when it was quiet. Its kinda loud again. not as bad as before. I DD my FB, and it normaly breaks down and needs parts every week. this week was good. Next week I'm get double the norm.

 

Mine never goes under 168F or over 180F.

Spec.

 

Ya know what I was saying here?
JINX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

~_~ I think I blew an oil cooler line today [maybe the oil cooler too] Replaced all three and backup and running as of 12:26AM..

Thanks for the parts Marc! ^_^

 

my car didnt do so well, 3 lug nuts came off from my front wheel on a turn, i pulled over just in time before the wheel came off.... then trying to lift the car up since my ***** so low, i had a dude smash a jack under while i pulled a fender out of rivets... had to redo body work and paint after that.... overall it was worth it.... yeahssss

 

I hit 98c water temps.

50c air intake temps.

normal driving.

 

no problems at al. ac and every thing worked great.

 

lol no worries here the 7 was parked while i drove Zerodrifts miata around for a week

 

Somehow my battery got drained. Sat for the whole week.
