Go to a hardware store, Lowes or Home Depot, and go to the pipe insulation section. Find the smallest diamter stuff the have. Buy a 6 foot section of it, that will be plenty. I think the kind I used was also the sticky kind, where the edges have sticky stuff applied and will stick together after the paper is removed.

Just cut and fit around the AC line leading into the passenger compartment. I also used zip ties to secure the insulation.

Honestly, my AC didn't seem any colder, but this is one of those "feel good" mods. You can also get the expensive insulation sold in Summitt, Jegs, etc. This stuff is reflective and surely a better insulator, but for the cost and simplicity I chose the hardware store method.

 

Auto crossing Tomorrows! Everyone Wish Me Luck!!

 

I'm lovin' it. I'll show up one of those wed. meet ya'll have....but it's stock though.
BTW: GL legend

 

my 8's all stock and that doesnt mean a thing. i want to work on it. just mainly cosmetic though. i love the way it handles and works already, so yeah. no need for upgrades anywhere else.

 

auto crossing is my new crack!!! MY GOD I LOVE MY 8 Despite how crappy of a driver I was my car saved my *** every time. I know we always hear the commercials and people saying it but our car out handles almost all in it's class!!! DETERMINED TO TAKE THE CUP NEXT MONTH!! (Rob you turned me in to a auto cross addict.. might as well injected me with crack lmao i kid i kid)

 

where do u auto cross at?
like at a track somewhere?
cause i'd like to go there

 

gulf greyhound park scca. IT WAS FUN!! i'm telling you.. you know nothing of yoru car's potential until you've ripped it through some twisties ^ ^ i love myc ar 100x more now

 

Legend sounds like a fat kid with cake...

 

or a crack addict with crack lol

 

haha
ive done a few twisties in my car on the streets
i know how amazing the handling is
its just insane. thats why i hit a curb too. haha. i lost control of a drift i was doin
so yeah. but i saved it for the most part

tomorrow i should get rims sometime, if i do, yall see em at the meet

 

i never met you before i hope to see you tommorow

 

I don't get why anyone would want to drift an RX. I'll admit, letting the backend slide out is always fun (although, always dangerous), but when you've got a 50/50 weight distribution along with a torque band that performs flawless power-over cornering by just flooring it around every turn, why would you want to anything other than grip'n'rip around a bend, ya know?

Meh. Not my cup of tea, I guess.

 

^^do you even drink tea Nick? muhaha i kid i kid. How do ya like the suspension?

I should have the cast off on the 14th if everything goes well and start physical therapy. A part of my physical therapy (my own physical therapy) will be driving my car around again~!! See you all soonish!!

 

Heh - no, I don't drink tea. It's too healthy.


The suspension is amazing. I don't know how you brought yourself to part with it.


Hope all goes well with the recovery and we see you before the end of September

 

get better soon hero

 

hey
yall so when is that next auto cross meet?

 

dang
need to save up for some new tires
haha
im pretty sure there wont be none left if i drive

 

are you going to drift? if not then id ont' think you will wear out your tires in 4 runs

 

i push my cars to the limits... so i would drift accidentally

 

lol trust me - you aren't going to tear up your tires unless you drift the entire course all 4 runs... which you won't, so don't worry about it

 

hmm
okay
yeah
i dont ride stock tires anyways
i got some falken's on it
good tires btw
theres not much tire squeal from 1st to 2nd or 2nd to 3rd

 

I'll just say this - when I was showing you guys my suspension I was driving at about 60-70% my usual intensity. Those tires have about 8000 miles on them, and they still pass inspection with flying colors.

Legend pushed his car so hard that he flew off the track on some of his runs, and his tires are still drivable.

Your tires will be fine - trust me.

 

okay
i trust ya
i'll do it
i'll drive em like ive never driven em before!

oh btw, i posted some pics of my car on the site finally yay

 

hehe.. hey kinetic made the wednesday meet thread again.. sign up if going

 

i miss the meet tonight for the astros game
it was awesome!

how was the meet?
