This sucks hard. Just checked the thermometer outside in the shade and its reading 45 degrees.

My car was in the sun all day, so the drive home was hot and slow (aircon takes so much power!). Walking to my car was torture and as soon as I open the door it was just so hot, never had it so bad, and my car is white.

So whats everyone think about it, when will it end and how are you all keeping cool?

I've had the aircon on for the past day or two, also lemon lime and bitters with ice is awesome.

Tom.

PS: BSM cruise sunday 39 degrees forecast atm.

the plumbing may not work in the telstra building.... but the aircon sure does.. its 26 degrees in here.

fkn torture walking out into 45+ when going for lunch tho.

sometimes i reckon that its better not having the aircon so low cos it does not affect u so much when u need to go out

Thinkin bout goin to wash my car, going to wait for it to get dark so I can stand outside for more then 5 minutes, also so I can chamois it all before the water evaporates.

If you think none will post anything worth while mods lock it, no big deal.

lets just say my carbon footprint is like king kongs today :) ,,, A/C siting on 22c inside , outside its 46 under my patio, but a slight breeze off the sea , feels a tad cool.

but step out in the sun and it might as well be in a closed car with me..lol ..at least 1k from the center of it..lol

like ARC welding in the nude ? instant burn..lol

even the birds in my yard are stunned and wont come out of the shade to eat, they run out grab the food and run back into shade. but they do enjoy the water bath today..lol

hint when working on a car in the heat, never lay a spanner in the sun.. like grabbing a hot iron..lol

watch out washing the car in the heat, the windscreen can crack if the temp is too drastic and screw the waterspots in the sun..lol

if there is one thing worse than the heat itself its customers saying

''gee, its hot eh?''

and

''is it hot enough for ya?''

no kind sir, 45 deg is not quite warm enough for me, is it possible for you to turn the heat

up a little? now that would just be swell.

Craig where about do you work?

Working at a supermarket where the only air conidtioning they can manage is blowing the air from outside in sucks, especially when you need to get up on the ladder all day right under the hot vents.

*sings* I'm an asshole Im an asshole, the worlds biggest asshole....

"I walk around in the summertime saying 'How about this heat?', I'm an asshole, an asshole

Apologies to Denis Leary

And Craig I can imagine you'd be spewing. The govt buys aircon to keep the orang utans cool at the zoo, I reckon u should file a discrimination suit! Get some free aircon!

-D

dreading the drive home.

Stags outside with the "granny" shade on the windscreen.. Suits the Volvo like station wagon ehh? (puts on flame suit :P) Got rear windows down a cm each side to aid in cooling if it does jack shit or not id like to think so. The black leather just soaks up the heat and stays so hot.

Have had some chicks in short dress's or skirts complain about how hot it is on the back of their legs.... wahhh wahh wahh...suck it

    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
    • Yeah that looks like great caster, but I'd suggest trying less front camber some time and seeing if it helps with braking without reducing mid corner speed too much
    • I ended up setting the rear 5mm higher than normal to give some clearance.  My plan is to run the least camber I can in the rear which I think with the extra width is going to need to be -1.75 to -2.00° just to get clearance.  Guards have been rolled and pulled as much as they can/I would be wanting to.  front has the Acostal knuckle with the KPI change and the drop etc. So should be okay with the existing settings I have run with AR1s etc Front: Toe total -2mm(1mm out each side) Caster +7.5° Camber -3.8° Ackerman +15°
