OT: When rolling down the windows isn't enough...
This is for all the non a/c people...
Depending on location some might be able to relate. Sometimes just rolling down the windows isnt enough. So i was wondering do you guys use car fans or anything? If so, post up your set up... Saw a 12V one at wal-mart but i dont think its strong enough

My GF really digs those little squirt bottles with the fans on them. I can see it now, a bunch of guys driving their turbo Hondas around spraying themselves with squirt bottles..lol.

The best mod I did was to make a "CAI" duct for my intake vents.
After going turbo I started noticing that the air coming out of my vents was hot as all blazes. Like the heater was on. Venting the hood helped but not enough. Eventually I just stuck some ducting in the car to intake air from the wheel wells. Now much cooler.

Sometimes I take my shoes off...
But most of the time I just sit there and sweat. Yeah, it sucks.
My back is always soaking by the time I get home. Luckily I live in Oregon though so it's usually only hot for a month or so out of the year.

It'll be like the nitrous users purging their Nawz. I can see it now. Turbo honda's pulling up a lights next to v8's in the mid day heat...and spraying their fan in their face while they stare down the competition...thinking..it's on bitch!

Get an air conditioning refill kit at autozone and hook it to your blower motor. If you regulate the amount of air conditioning coming out, maybe you could get somewhere. lol

Re: (lucidvtec)
i have thought about removing the hamster wheel fan and just fabbing up some ducts that run the the front bumper, ive got two places on my bomex front bumper that are begging for ducting.
itd be like ram air ac... without the ac
