Dying AC

Air con. is dying. Makes so bad rattling noice if it's turned on and you can hear that it's eating engine power way more than it's supposed.

I ordered new con compressor to my work, it was quite ok price but work will cost fortune.

Water leak

It have been raining quite much and now I notice that rear left footwell (driver side in Finland) is full of water - Damn it. Any Ideas where it might came because I think that door sealings are ok

 

[Jii]

Wellcome to the club. My car turned into a fish bowl last sunday. Every door seal leaked, so all 4 footwell got wet.
Worst case was leaking gasket under windshield tray.


Tarkista ovet, läpiviennit tuulilasin alta ja raitisilmasuodattimen kotelon asento, jostain noista se vesi tulee.

Lets see I fixed sealing behind of door panels (every door just in case). There is so much water in left (driver in here) rear footwell that I have to try to find out how I can take floormats and sound insulation mats off they are soaking. Seems that there is 10Litres of water on the floor. Honestly I don't know how I get it dry again

Air con is fixed now and I'm broke so FMIC have to wait Con repair cost nearly 1000 euros. Next project after saturdays trackday is to get my car dry again and pray that it wont leak anymore.

Nice to see another 20VT4 here

You should consider big turbo, 250 hp is nothing for 4WD...

The track day pics look awesome, the colour looks deep and almost colour changing... Sweet

I think that Photographer has tonemapped some of the pics that's why it looks so damn shiny. (Track pics is more like it is in real life)

Thanks anyway

Flexi system would be great. I visit too often back home (at Middle-Finland) so there ain't as many RE85/E85 stations. But I have think that option also.

 

[poliq]

what is RE85? specially mapped for E85 should be pretty unique I guess
