Anyone Else Enjoying The Cold?

[L0rdMike]

Although the summer brings massive mounts of grip which is great for some action in the twistys the standard MR2 intercooler really cant cope and power drops.

Now that its getting a lot colder im starting to notice the difference already. The car just feels like a different beast altogether. Think it might be time to up the boost again.

So is anyone else noticed the power gains from the cold air, I know I am and as long as its dry and cold its all good.

 

[Glaucus]

Nope, Use to on a 2 stroke bike though.

 

[Scort]

Can't say I have, but the Ninja always feels quick to me

Have to take the ST out for a spin sometime...

Scort.

 

[eidolon]

More power but slippy roads, not a good combination!

 

[Duke]

Put it this way, I'm learning the difference changing to RWD for the first time

 

[insane200]

my 200 loved this time of year all the cold air going through the fmic it would boost so much quicker.

the rado doesnt realy care what temp it is lol.

 

[loltim]

Yup!!!! (apart from de-icing this morning). Mine feels a lot faster, and louder, loving it

 

[agw_01]

Yep, couldn't believe it.

I'm still recovering from the shock of turning the boost back up, and then the colder weather... I've never known my car to move so quickly!

 

[DRZ]

Mine absolutely loves the cold air. That coupled with less grip and its a fantasmical drift situation

 

[Rich1988]

I dont because i work it a warehouse and its cold

 

[Simon]

Yeah its a bit better i guess.

 

[NathanE]

Roads are too slippery round these ways to make any use of the extra power

 

[BigglesPiP]

I have only driven one car in really cold weather, was the 999cc Uno, it most certainly did benefit for the dense air.

 

[DannyW]

Hate it Diesely wiesely does not like cold starts

 

[commited]

Didn't enjoy this morning. About 30 seconds after getting into the car it misted up quicker than any car ever has on me. went from clear to totally misted within a few seconds. Very scary at 50mph on a windy road

 

[Lopéz]

The weather at the moment has turned my Volvo 940 into a machine that mimics the drifting performance of an AE86.

 

[DreXeL]

Yep, I'm surprised at how more 'lively' the teg feels actually. I'm used to lovely cold-weather performance in my last two cars due to them being turbo nutters, but really wasn't expecting the 'teg to feel any different in the cold weather. Pleasantly surprised

 

[lordrobs]

Can't say I've noticed any difference.

Cold starts harm my mpg
