I have a 06 sti and would like to know if any body else's scooby suffers from condensation on the windscreen, it's more on the pasengers side? also since having the car (it only had 200 miles on the clock) 5 weeks now the brakes still dont feel as sharp as I was expecting, is this normal?

well, anybody?

 

Is the ventilation system set on re-circulate?
That will cause the windows to mist up.

 

No, it's worse in the morning, it's like it's been raining inside the car

 

Condensation is the process whereby water vapour in the atmosphere is returned to its original liquid state. In the atmosphere, condensation may appear as clouds, fog, mist, dew or frost, depending upon the physical conditions of the atmosphere. Condensation is not a matter of one particular temperature but of a difference between two. Condensation of water vapour occurs when the temperature of air is lowered to its dew point.

All air contains water vapour of varying quantities. The lower the air temperature, the smaller the maximum possible capacity for vapour. When air is cooled, relative humidity increases, until at a particular temperature, called the dew point, the air becomes saturated. Further cooling below the dew point will induce condensation of the excess water vapour.

The temperature of the dew point will depend upon the absolute content of water vapour, that is the absolute humidity, measured in g/m3 (grams per cubic metre). The dew point of humid air will be higher than the dew point of dry air. Both air temperature and absolute humidity will determine what type of condensation will occur when the air is cooled. If air in contact with the ground is cooled to its dew point, dew or frost will form, dew if the point is above 0°C, or frost if it is below 0°C. Cooling of a larger layer of air near to the ground may produce mist of fog, which freezes if the dew point is below 0°C. Air that is cooled to its dew point by rising and expansion will condense to form clouds. Above 0°C, small droplets of water are formed. Condensation may also result in ice crystals at temperature well below 0°C. When temperatures are near or a little below 0°C, supercooled water droplets can form.

 

cool, i'll start keeping me fosters in the car instead of the fridge.

 

sounded quite impressive when i read it so i thought i'd post it

 

Brembo brakes don't feel 'sharp' they're just very good.

 

True, they don't give you the pedal feel that you expect, but they do stop the car.

I recently had DS2500 pads, hoses and fluid done. The pedal is super sharp now, giving that confidence back.

 

Clean the windows m8, it is easier for condensation to form on dirty glass.
Also use the aircon on warm/hot and point the air towards the windscreen.
This will take the moisture out of the air, hey preso no condensation at all.

 

happens in my 05 too, i reckon its down to the frameless windows letting moisture in probably clean up and treat the rubbers with sillicone see if that helps, problem is so bad i left a packet of chewing gum in the door pocket, when i ate one it was quite soggy not crispy!!!
