Texas Heat VS Yaris
Over 100 degrees now for past 45 days. Today a 107 here in hemphill. Took the yaris to Leesville L.A. about 94 miles round trip. After 4 lovely years she purred like a kitten and gave ice cold air. Beat the heat and runs so fine trouble free.

I started to do the A/C mod but my wife already complains that the A/C is too cold. It is smoking hot in southeast Texas!

I dont have the info readily available, but it was as simple as wrapping foam insulation around one of the a/c condenser pipes.

^ Yes, it's really quite easy. The only hard part is getting your hands into some of the places to wrap the insulation around the pipe. It is 3/4 inner-diameter. So you can do an inch ID and have some room in between for air to insulate the pipe

Been pretty dang hot in San Antonio, but I've been traveling so much these past couple of weeks that I've missed a lot of it...

Heat? Ha! In Thailand it's over 90 degrees F and With high humidity all year round. If the Yaris can survive here, it can survive anywhere. LOL, the Thai Yaris doesn't even have a heater (cooling is the ONLY function the HVAC does).

Yeah, August 2011 was a brutal month. I hope Summer 2012 will be a bit cooler. The worst day in my area last summer was 8/5/11 if I remember the date number correctly. It was 105 in my driveway with the corresponding heat index =120. About 7 miles or so away (on that day) the temperature was about 108 but the humidity level was quite a bit higher and the heat index there reached 141....which is the highest I've seen measured in the Houston Metro at least since late 2007. The A/C in my Yaris performed admirably on that day, just as it always has.

141! Holy crap. I worked at disney in florida a few years, and one of the summers I had to work outside with no shade. Totally insane, but the highest the heat index ever made it was around 120 i think. The only time I ever felt any of those sports drinks actually work. Powerade I think was the coke brand one we used, and you could feel it working just like when popeye eats spinach in his cartoons.
