    improving the a/c

    Is there any way to improve the a/c in e30s? I have a vert and even with my hardtop on, the a/c looses the battle with the heat here in Florida. I want something stronger/cooler.

    If you search in the general tech and section for your engine, there should be plenty of info on the few potential upgrades.

      Are you getting full air flow from the blower? Fins in the hamster wheel fans break over time and you start losing air flow volume, when this happens even in the highest speed you are not getting a full blast of air.

      Also, what temperature are you getting from the center vents at idle in a 95 degree day? You should be getting at least ~40 degrees Fahrenheit inside the vent with fan in position 2, for it to be able to give you a comfortable temperature inside the cabin.

      Then check all your gaskets and seals around Windows etc. if you have leaks, your cool air is going to the outside and not staying in the car where you want it. Check seals around Windows. Make sure as well than your recirculating flap is working so you are not getting to much hot air from the outside.
