I'm baaack...

 

Anyway, whats the go with this bullshit cold weather?

I'm originally a Bundabergher, so can you imagine my horror when I wake up at 6am to go to uni, and my car has f@$king ice on it!!!

Like no shit: lumps of frozen H2O encrusting my car!!!

And then the bloody thing wouldn't start, I had to resort to stealing my granny's XD (eeewww....*shudders*).

It was cranking at maybe 40rpm, oil mustve been like treacle.

Spose that happens when youre car lives on the street.

Took the mr2 to the misses house (well was misses at the time) a while back. Parked it outside and when i left in the morning the cooler was frosty as, damn she was nuts on the way home.

My guage doesn't move off 'C' on a spirited 30 min drive at 5 in the morning and I can see my breath in the car. Grr no bloody heater.

My heater is so damn hot in my 35 that I usually have to turn it off and wind the window down...I love it...it's so so so good in Canberra winters

if i turn daisy's heater on, it will fog up the windows......so i don't use it

:faq: -Thats what sucks about your work being 2 mins down the rd. My windscreen only starts to defog when I pull into the driveway at work. :D

 

Oh not looking forward to starting wprk at 3:30 tomorrow. :P

 

Another way to tell if its cold... Thanks Jessica Simpson.

I've found that a good way to get your engine temp up is to bolt a SC on it :faq:

you guys that can drive 30mins and still not have a working heater prob need to change ya thermostats.

 

stuck open is a common problem for the 4age in the ae82/ae92s.

 

there is no doubt if you can drive than long and not have it warme dup that you have a problem

Thermostats are so easy to change, and so so often overlooked as a heating issue.

 

I've had brand new thermostats that didn't open though, which you don't expect and don't even think to look to the thermostat to still be a problem.

turbos are a good way to warm your 4k up too!! :P

 

except they love the cold too!! other night went out for a bit of a run, gate pressure was peaking about 9psi and running about 7, on the switch I was spiking 12psi and running 10-11!!! :D noticed it was detonating a little on 11psi, gotta love those death rattles :faq:

 

I can't smoke a whole ciggy on the way to work, espeacially early in the morning, let alone have the van get up to temp! :(

The other solution is to walk to work if it's so close...then you don't have to worry about your heater

fug that!!! tassie is probably 1 of the few places that actually gets colder than canberra!! :faq:
