Carbureted LSX forum - Too hot to wrench or race.

It hit 97 degrees with 70% humidity today. This heat just kills my desire to wrench on my car. I am tempted to a/c my garage, but I can't imagine what the electric bill would be with that. I don't have any desire to go to the track in this heat. You guys avoiding it too?

Wrench for a living (Industrial Maintenance Mechanic) and yes... NO desire in the heat/humidity.

Only :rolleyes: 80* and 74% here....just riding the mower around the yard I was soaked.

Still awaiting machine shop :(

And as for the track...hell no !!! no shade and all black top http://ts3.mm.bing.net/th?id=I4573273215927202&pid=1.7&w=60&h=62&c=7&rs=1

97* with 24% humidity. Not very humid over here just plain ol hot. I can't take humidity at all.

Well, I am going to pull the l98 out today from the 91, have it sold tomorrow or this week, so I have no choice. Earlier it was 89*, real feel 107...

Zone 103 (107 with heat index) early last week....feel your pain...and thought you had another home for that motor in your stable ?

It's like that here from late May through early October. I can work for maybe 15 minutes before the sweat is running off my wrists and hands, corroding everything it drips on...

My shop is 24x30 ,I put a cheap divider wall dwn the middle & put a used 220vlt 23,000 BTU window unit yrs ago....BEST ! ! ! decision EVER made .With 10' ceilings it cools real good.
Come home after work & within 1-2 hrs it is good to go ,my bill has never been over $60-$80 mo. even with some all day Saturdays in there.
Ye it is too HOT to race for me too or even cruise at night ....felt like 98 at 10:00 last night !

No doubt, It was 108 here on Friday (record high), and I was in the shop testing my fans and checking for leaks and such on my Malibu. It was absolutely brutal, but everything worked as designed and the new build stayed cool. Good day to test I guess, if it can stay cool in 108 degree weather it should be good to go...

Its roasting here too. Working to get the boat up and running in the sun today. 93 and 75% HUM. Last week was worse! I was helping my buddy sand bondo and lay fiberglass on his ZX2 commuter car, it was 101 and 75% HUM. I was a disgusting messy paste of sweat and bondo dust. Not enough cold beer in WI to keep us cool! Hoping for a break soon!

OH, and of course the A/C goes out in my truck. Perfect timing. :sack:

After being in Afghanistan for a year, no desire to work on anything in any kind of outrageous heat. Only solution, is to work at night.

Motor is out, Trans too. Started at 6, was done by 10, had to run to the main house twice. Made decent timing.

40 x 46 garage and one 10K BTU window unit and a fan... stays at 74 in 105ºF heat.

Now throwin on the fire suit, helmet and neck collar, and jumping in a car with lexan non roll down windows.... that shit aint fun

Been hot around here too in North GA. The humidity is terrible. I have a big fan in the shop, but only the roll up doors on one wall. What makes it worse for me is the creek behind the shop, the mosquitos are brutal.

You are unstoppable!

Well, when I am determined I am all go. When I was poorer than I am. Ow, no garage, had to work outside in the sun on the dirt ground. I really don't know how I did that. Only drank one gatorade last night for some reason...

Deep woods off every time I hit the garage!

Was 94* here today with a high humidity rate. I got to pull my trans in a little while, so not really looking forward to it, but at least I have an old blower motor from an industrial heat/air unit. This bad boy can move some air!! lol If positioned right, it can keep it comfortable.

I want one of those small high power fans, would be nice.

That's why you put garage in the shade under a bunch of trees...naturally 10-15 degrees cooler than I the sun! Even then still too hot!

The humidity cares not for shade, lol.

I dont even have to do any labor and it looks like i just stepped out of the shower.
I was organizing my garage today. I sweat more reaaranging my garage today. Than when i workout :gtfo:

Been averaging about 22C (72 F :)) around here for the last few weeks. I think im going to go for a drive. Who needs AC ?

I remember when I was younger I didn't really care, now? Man, I dred mowing the yard.

its supposed to start cooling off here a little finally, just in time for the weekend!

check out the coolers they sell at home depot or lowes. They help out a lot in the summer. Weve had weather that goes over 110* where i live, and even at night, its too hot sometimes.
