I do not know about you guys but I find that monaro drivers are always looking to have a go. they are a lot more aggressive drivers than the rest.

jordak Member 1,226 Member For: 20y 10m 7d Posted 10/05/06 02:28 AM Share Posted 10/05/06 02:28 AM On a boosted T it wouldn't surprise me if the power difference on a hot vs cold day was as high as 30rwkw. Certainly seems that way sometimes if the bumometer is anything to go by.

How do you guys handle this problem to overcome the heat and keep it cool.←We've been lucky in Darwin for the last couple of weeks, as the temperatures here have dropped a little particularly in the mornings, although we still get up to about 31 degress in the afternoon. It's enough of a drop to notice a performance increase from the T. I really haven't made any attempts to fight the heat and humidity, but I am considering putting on an intercooler water spray kit. But I've heard that it doesn't really make much of a difference. Does anyone have any opinions or experience in this ?

I did not really feel this in the hotter months.do you think that it has picked up a few rwkw / kw due to the colder denser air?does anyone else feel that their car seems quicker?←you didnt put a nismo sticker on it, did you ? - instant 10rwkw increase. ive heard if you want more - neons!
