Hot weather owners, how's the AC
 
I've owned cars before that had trouble keeping me cool during the FL summers. How are the evo AC's. Temps here in the summer are around 98deg

Meh, definitely not the coldest blowing AC but it's not that bad either. It can be a pain on a stock motor/tune though, the motor can be boggy with the AC on.

Still cold after almost 10yrs/Never been as cold as other cars though

Never been recharged, I don't use it too often but it def still does it's job

As long as I'm not sweating in bumper to bumper traffic, then I'll be ok. It sounds like the air conditioning is up to the task

ac on with my kelford cams getting off the line..the car would lose from a 5-40 roll to a prius ive floored it for funsies and because of the vacuum drop the lag is HORRIBLE/EMBARRASSING lolol! i was making a left turn from the street into my neighborhood this weekend and floored it with oncoming traffic and BARELY made it across. maybe hit 15 tops by the time i crossed the 2 lanes hahha

We are not normally a hot weather climate up here in northern IN but this summer has been brutal - mid to upper 90's/100's and high humidity so I have the AC on constantly. Car is mostly stock but is tuned at 24 psi and the AC is more than enough to keep me cool with the windows closed, not so much with the windows open but unless you smoke I don't know why you'd do that anyway. I've noticed it's a little "slow" just off idle in 1st gear but otherwise it's peppy as ever out of boost and in boost, well, forget about it :)

You probably are low on refrigerant, recharge the system.

My 03's ac works very well. It's just a pain in the butt to take off with it on (twin disc). Other than that it's just how I would expect it.

My AC works just fine. With a stock motor/tune, having the AC on sucks and the car is very sluggish at low rpm.

VIII, No real issues, tuned for low rpm power--recharged a/c last year with a new comp and drier--working better then ever this yr. Not the coldest--but better then other cars I have owned.

Before pulling my motor(ended up emptying my AC {thumbdwn} ) my AC blew FREEZING cold, that regardless of the temp outside I would get the frosties on the windshield O_O I was convinced I could freeze vodka with my AC....

I really hope once my motor goes back in and I recharge the AC its just as cold :cool:
