75skunkaroo Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 so it's 106* acording to our outdoor temperature thing, and i'm out in the sun sanding my roof! i'm attempting to get the '75 painted or at least primered, and get disc brakes on the front by WCSS6. hopefully i can get something acomplished before i go to reno for hot august nights. but with the recent shattered elbow and only working on it 1 maybe 2 days a week, we'll see where i get. -mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
subyrally Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 dude, thats nuts, when its that hot outside i end up melting. i wouldnt even go out in that heat. good luck getting the paint done though, and drink lots and lots of water. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubaSkeet Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 heh, wish I could work in 106. im busy fixing my wagon in 115 degrees of fun. then again, anything over 100 is all the same: sweat, sweat, and sweat some more. yeah, definitely hold on to that water.

Subi81 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 Finally some other northerners feeling the heat, in Redding, CA it was 106 too. I didn't think it got that hot in OR. Yea just wait till it gets 100 teens, 106 will feel balmy. Good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carfreak85 Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 We hit 100 in Bellevue today. Thermometer was crappy, but it matches the Thermo in my old Mercedes to about .5*C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MorganM Posted July 24, 2004 Share Posted July 24, 2004 I was sanding my wagon in that summer heat a few years back. Thankfully i was wet sanding with a hose running constantly so that helped keep me cool! Drink plenty of water Dont wanna be pushing kidney stones out at WCSS6!

bajavwnsoobnut Posted July 25, 2004 Share Posted July 25, 2004 yeah but for you it's a dry heat up here we have a lil humidity to add in not like over in St.Louis and such but still there is a lil bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew.anderson Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 bajavwnsoobnut What is the speed limiter set at on the USDM STi? I know the US legal limit is 155 mph. It should be set at that. And no I am not crazy. It is nice here but not hot enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bajavwnsoobnut Posted July 30, 2004 Share Posted July 30, 2004 the electronic limiter is sat at 145 MPH so that's why I was wondering what would be the top speed of it without the limiter cause over here road and track had a competition for the top supercar and the STi beat out the Porshe GT3 byt a small margin but the #'s were almost the same for all tests and the margin was the price so that makes me think if there were just the minimum mods could it go over 200 on the bahn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
