Close the dash vents and turn fan to "0".

You're warm b/c of the excitement of driving such an awesome car making your heart race!

Yeah, I don't really have the answer. I have noticed it too, but it beats the heck out of being ice cold all the time - kick the AC on if you want, I haven't really noticed it taking any performance or MPG. Don't believe me? Set your dash display to instant MPG and set the cruise, then turn on AC and see if it changes anything.

The first few times I drove it, I thought that the leg cabin area got extremely warm. I wasn't sure it was coming from but it felt like heat was coming through the wall panels next to the transmission/engine area.

It eventually went away one its own though. How many miles do you have on your caR?

ya if you want performance, remove the back seats, remove the passenger front seat, and put on a HELMET because you're a RACER!

But for me, I'm just going to enjoy the ride in legal limits lol

lose =/= loose

"If your sister intends to lose her virginity before she is 15, then she will probably be loose by the time she's 30"

But yeah, sometimes you just have to do what's necessary...turn on the A/C or open a window. If you're really concerned, look into getting a lighter crank pulley to offset the parasitic drag of the A/C being engaged

My other car is an MGB GT. The MG is a lot like driving a pizza oven. Only hotter. So, no, I have not felt anything.

Not sure I CAN feel anything after 32 years of MG driving!

If you dont like it then deal with it. Thats what the AC is for. It doesnst kill your gas and performance that much. Keep the Max AC off if anything and use the regular AC.

Turn the A/C on for a minute or two to cool the vents. It should work.
