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

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

    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.

    • Unsolicited advice? Keep the engine as close to stock as you can. Nothing wrong with adding some boost and making a little more power, but given where you are, you really don't want to try to make it into a monster. I can't imagine the roads are up to it, and the lack of locla support when it grenades will be a ball ache. FWIW, If there is a dyno around that you can access, then brand new injectors are a good idea, which will lead you to (at least) putting a Nistune in it, which will allow you to put an R35 AFM on it, all of which will make it possible to make it much much nicer to drive and live with.
