Guest DZ. Guests Posted 20/12/02 12:02 AM Share Posted 20/12/02 12:02 AM Have you been parking your car in direct sunlight or undercover for the most part? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back about three hours later and although the air which came out of the car nearly knocked me off my feet I hopped in with only my boardies on and didn't end up with skin stuck to the seats. The biggest problem was the top of the manual stick. Damn me that aluminium gets hot!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Came back about three hours later and although the air which came out of the car nearly knocked me off my feet I hopped in with only my boardies on and didn't end up with skin stuck to the seats. that sounds encouraging....I was starting to wonder if I should drop the leather 'cause of the heat factor.BTW I will have tint.

Grant Member 453 Member For: 22y 1m 4d Location: Kurrajong, Sydney Posted 20/12/02 12:50 AM Share Posted 20/12/02 12:50 AM Yeah, the windows are tinted and I forgot to mention that the car's Silhouette so it would probably be the warmest of any colour.
