Thoughts about starting the car in the morning, and commute
Is it just me, or does my car behave differently depends on the weather? This is my first turbo car so I had no experience with atmospheric phenomenon affecting the car so greatly (or am I just not totally awake yet?)
Anyway, this morning, I hopped in the car and started it. No "knocking" noise (probably the timing belt tensioner)when it idled, and seemed to pull a little stronger when I was on the highway. Can someone tell me I am not imagining things? Mmmm, maybe it is because I changed the transmission and differential fluid to Neo. Alright, have to get work started. Thanks for listening to me vent.

turbo motors love cool, dense air.
even the legacy ss enjoys cool weather sans intercooler. |

Yep, changes in atmospheric pressures and weather will affect the performance of the cah.
Never race against a N/A car when it's 90 degrees and 85% humidity. You'll be a little slower. --kC |
