Fan of the wrong team (Renault F1) and likely wrong guy (Fernando Alonso) was spotted wearing a light blue Team Renault F1 shirt driving a light blue Legacy GT wagon with IL plates, accompanied by a buddy...back from the F1 Race at Indy on 2nd July.

I waved...you waved...we drove together for a while. Finally you took 90 and I took 94. Come to our meets sometimes.

Signed - fan of the right team (Ferrari) and of the right guy (Michael Schumacher) - your 7 time world champion, 87 times race winner and last but not least 6 times Indy winner (technically just 5 except for 2004 when claiming a brain fade gave the victory to Rubens; Barichello winning by like 0.1 seconds)

Hey guys...how about lending Marc a "muscle"...or a hand at least ?

Marc, if you neeed an extra pair of hands....let me know...

Saw the entire Chicago Club of Mitsu Lancer Evo meeting at Buffallo Wild Wings at Touhy and Central (Niles Ceter Road), Saturday 25th February 2006. Did not count the cars but at least 25 of them. There were a few Subaru STi, a Supra, and the P&L Motorsports Honda S2000. Good looking cars, a few noted my Legacy.

I was at the movies with girlfriend.

Regal Blue LGT with what appeared to be spare tires on both the passenger side front and rear.

He should be stripped of his Legacy GT driving privileges

Nice meeting you Weasel ! I was going to post as well...I was on my way to Diversey Bowl for Bowling with friends !

Traitor...silver huh ! On a second thought...finally...(RAO aside) finally Larry does not feel lonely !

But it is highly remarkable how friendly LGT drivers are to eachother !

PS: I'm sure all the engines have a lot in reserve. Remeber when they were getting 1200hp out of a 1.8 turbo in F1 in the early 90's:D .

Shame on you ! That was mid 1980's and 1600 HP from 4 cyl 1.6 L engines ! And they also changed the engines freely...several times a week-end...unlike the 2 races per engine like today. Early 1990's had 3.5 L V12s - Ferrari, Lamborghini, 3.5 L V10s Honda, Renault, 3.5 L V8s Hart, Ford, Yamaha...

Dude...what part of my explanations you do not understand and what part of these explanations clears up my issues ?:rolleyes:

One thing that seems to bother people is that air conditioning (AC) runs almost all the time in AUTO mode. Well sort of. The AC compressor has a clutch, and it actually cycles on and off as needed (cars have been doing this for years). It cools the air in warm weather, and dehumidifies the air in cool weather (or when defrost is activated). All the while, the AC indicator remains lit. This simply indicates that AC can come on if needed, even though it may not be on full time. In extremely cold weather, the AC indicator will stay off until the engine warms up because it is too cold for the compressor to run. Once the engine warms up or the ambient temperature increases, the AC indicator may come on, again, to indicate that AC can activate if needed.

 

Another thing that bothers people is the fact that there is a world of difference between the temperature setting of 65 and 66. As discussed above, 65=LOW, or no heat added. So while 66 indicates a set temp of 66F in AUTO mode and it's the lowest setting for heat in the manual mode, 65 indicates "no heat". In AUTO mode, 65 actually translates to maximum cool (try it in the summer, it will frost your tootsies off). I really think Subaru should have labeled 65 as "LOW" (and 85 as "HIGH") similar to Acura.

What part of 65 setting translates to maximum cool should I disregard ? I tried it as you said it...the car does not want to cool down. AC does not work. On 66 cyling the air, it is horrendous. On 65 cyling the air is mildly inhumane. If I bring outside air, the experimental drivers inside will not die of heat stroke...for now because the air is still cool. AUTO, MANUAL mode, this car doesn't cool.

So yesterday was a pretty warm day in Chicago. It happened that I took a leisure drive from Chicago to Gurnee and I had to make use of the air conditioning.

First off...with both dials on 65 and the AC turned on...the air was still very warm.

Second...if I set it up for recirculation inside the car...the inside of the car quickly becomes too warm.

Third...if I bring in outside air it will cool down...but nowhere near my minivan levels. I mean I am pulling 2 deg C at the vents in my minivan while on recirc.

The recirc. doesn't seem to help cool down the interior, it will fog up the windows if used with warm air what not. Am I doing something wrong or ? Might I say I was in full manual mode...don't mess with AUTO cause I hate it.

And also what can i do about the interior dust. Someone please link me to that cabin air filter thread...or is it just my interior that is so dusty .
