kev Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 It is -5 here (western pa). Funny when I looked at the weather channel last night at around 8pm...said high: 58, current: 0, low: -9 ~70 degree differential in one day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jszucs Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Alternator went out on my Trailblazer at my daughters dance class, guess who the lucky guy is that gets to swap in a new one in their parking lot tomorrow in 6 degree temps. This guy! -N8 Sucks hope you read this. Get some large boxex (ask at appliance place even Kmarts are selling appliances now ect and take duct tape. Make yourself a wind shelter, Just tape them up to the hood and under car area. You will not believe what a help it is. woke up to -11 going as low as -30 with windchill.

jeph_tsi Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 -6 here this morning! Conquest starts right up! Although mine isn't at all stock, stock 1jz lol! My only issue is that at these cooler temps my intercooler works a little too well and I'm getting boost creep followed by fuel cut. Seems like the perfect temp for my car is around 45, doesn't really matter too much anyways as with cool asphault/tires first 3 gears are pretty useless!

jszucs Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) I did see something (I think because of the cold) I have never seen before in my life. Tried to get a pic of it but it did not snow in the pic. It was like a straight up and down verticle rainbow. You could see where it was just like a very low formed cloud due to the cold and the setting sun shining though it caused a rainbow effect. Was pretty cool.

ucw458 Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 It's times like this when I like my old 91 toyota truck. The heater is incredible. It get so hot it can almost burn your hand if you held it against the vent. Takes a minute to warm up and after 10 minutes you're rolling down the windows because it's too damn hot. Love that freaking truck. AC is the same way in summer, freezes you out of the truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pure_insanity Posted January 7, 2014 Report Share Posted January 7, 2014 yup, you cant go wrong w the heat and air systems in the Japanese cars and trucks. my mighty max is the same way. it will actually freeze itself up and spit ice in the hot summer time.
