Forgive me if this topic is raised somewhere else, but although I've been having a ball in my new Tamora, in the Brisbane Summer the heat in this car is almost unbearable. I'm talking to people about getting a custom aircon installation, but if you guys have some suggestion about how, what, how much, or even who can do this (in Australia) I'd really appreciate some feedback.

I can't even figure out how you could drive an aircon unit off this motor - there doesnt seem to be any pulleys at the front?

The aircon compressor sits in front of the alternator,

Would suggest you give Jason @ Str8six a call he offers a retro fit option and perhaps he could do you a kit and ship it over and you get a local specialist to fit it.

Look at the pic on this ebay ad you can see how the drive works with a secondary shaft to drive the alternator.

Has your Tam had the extra heat shield stuff under the drive train and gear knob etc, I dont have a/c on my car and after all above was done its so much cooler in the cabin.
I am hoping to bring my car over in 18months or so, have you had any extra fans fitted? Was your car on personal import thingy or has a Tam got type approval now.I have seen two other colour Tams in Oz it will be nice to be the forth one!
Maybe we can keep in touch be great to get together with our cars. Good luck luck with a/c
