Heat And Your Turbo Ride?

[superspit]

so...how are all your cars doing in this heat?

Seen any Holden's or Ford's on the side of the road on the way home?

[shepo]

as a gerenal rule the turbo's dont go so well in the heat, nuthing they cant handle though.

certainly not like the old XF i saw the other day parked up on the side of the highway.

its fine, just a bit doughy as to be expected... aircon works great

I don't know about the rest of you guys but I tend not to give the car much of a hard time in today's kind of heat. Just don't want to create any problems that could otherwise be avoidable

Saw a VS commo broken down on the way home

im doing the usual 68-70 degree's, no dramas for me, and thats with a 3/4 full radiator too at the moment due to a broken weld hehe

so...that's one Holden...one Ford.

edit: and potentially one Skline, as above.

No potential, been like that for a month now

I'm just assuming the rest couldn't even get out the driveway

[emts]

better question...how are the trains holding up!

My car is doing fine in this heat, although I'm not coping too well with getting baked due to my broken A/C...

I did see a few Holdens and Fords sitting in middle lanes with hazards on...

Don't people know to push their cars off the road anymore...

In fact... ...that should be a requirement to buying a car... ...Can you get out and push it???... ...If you can't... ...It's too big for you to buy...

I've been asked if I can pick up a motor bike before getting on one... ...you drop it and you're all alone... ...and you can't pick it up... ...you're stuffed...

I wonder if the words "Vapour-Lock" still exist.......?

mmmm....well, I guess they do!!

Well, what would I know...heck, I just drive a POS Skyline.......(according to many 'old school' V8 Holden and Ford owners).

To all of those paying out on the Fords/Holdens, how many skylines do you see driving around with 400,000kms on the clock without having been rebuilt?

Go line up against a new GT/F6/R8/GTS etc for a few consecutive runs on a 40 degree day, then come back and post up the results

mmmm....fair enough...though I'd like to see "a new GT/F6/R8/GTS etc " with 400,000 kays on the clock....at any temperature, let alone a Skyline.

Tell that to all the soccer mums with their over sized 4WDs

Mine runs fine in the heat. Oil temp is just on 70 sometimes a little over. Not as much power as in the cold but in this heat I can't be arsed driving so it's usually a very mellow 1 hour cruise home.

On the westgate freeway today around 9:50am going into the city just before williamstown rd I saw 9 cars pulled over all changing their tyres!! Dunno what was on the road but what ever it was they all copped it!!

I used to own a 94 EF falcon on my P's in 98-2001 and that thing was awful in the heat! I had to drive it with the heater on all the time to keep the water temps down! Then I blew a heater core and the footwell carpets got soaked. On a hot day I'd come back to the car and all the windows would be steamed up then insidde it was like a wet sauna!! YUCK!!!!
