Good luck reaching RennAire - I have tried off and on for at least two years!

My car came with a Griffiths compressor, hoses, vents, and dryer, but everything else was stock. It worked fine without heat soaked car in temps below high 80s. I added an extra condenser from Zims and ceramic window coverings, which also helped, but I finally just bit bullet and ordered evaporator, evap. fan, and front and rear condensers.

I have noticed (and also heard from other members) that sealing up the passenger compartment is vital. It's counterintuitive, but my car cools much better driving around town than it does on a long road trip, probably because I'm getting so much hot air forced into the car at 85 mph than driving around town, notwithstanding the extra air blowing over the condensers. I'm sure the fact I have a targa doesn't help me either. I plan to seal the fresh air vent at the top of the hood (I added working vent windows to my SC) and add some flexible insulation panels across the rear of the frunk after I replace the evaporator.

Griffiths is expensive relative to others and shipping quotes are a bit off-putting, but his reputation for quality and customer service/tech support are well deserved.
