A/C Questions and Twisty Rave Reviews

[KamalaMP5]

Quick question... FINALLY got to slam through some twisty roads (60-70 MPH on 35-45 MPH Curves and S's) (Boston area sucks for not having any) I had just turned my A/C off, I was in Tennessee where it was in the low 90s and fairly humid today, and as I went through turns, some water dripped out of the under dash vents and onto my feet. Normal? Not Normal? Guy in an 82 Corvette ruined some of the roads for me by dragging on at 40 (in a 45)in front of me, but I highly reccommend TN-82, TN-269, and US-231 in the area south of Murfreesboro, TN. GREAT ROADS! It's not the PCH, but there weren't any RV's this early in the season either.

Hell yeah!

I just relocated back to Tennessee from the Seattle area, and definitely agree, nice twisties here. Just watch out for small (or large) furry creatures, and especially County Mounties. And please don't be irresponsible (damn I sound old).
As far as the water, it's possible you may have a clogged condenser drain. Also, some stereo shops don't know where to run wires and shove them through with the condenser drain, pinching it off (I've seen this a hundred times). Ever notice after you run the AC for a while then park your car, it looks like a water "leak" under your car? That's condensation from the AC element in your dash draining out. It sounds like yours might not be draining properly.

i know a few years back, in mx6's...mazda had a faulty drain system from the get-go, and each time the a/c was ran, it would drain into the passenger floorboards. hopefully mazda figured it out,hehe

Took it into the local dealer down here in Alabama today (I'm REALLY far from home for the summer) and it turns out that the tube that the condensation flows out of and generally on to the ground wasn't put in the right position in the factory. They made it point at the ground and it seems like all is well. Good thing I had to go in for an oil change anyway (yes, my Pro5 is less than a month old), would have been more annoyed to have to go in for this independently.
