Here in TX it gets 110 and HIGH humidity.. so in the middle of the day my ac barely blows 55-60*.. keeping it quite warm in the car still. So has anyone tried adding a second condenser and fan to the AC system? Or is there another way to make it blow any colder? It has a good freon charge, and i already added insulation around the lines to the evaporator..

mine blows ice cold but takes about 30 secs to a minute of idle in 90 degree outer temperatures.. and less if i'm driving. i recently rented a new ford escape and chrysler sebring here in vegas, and while they blow cold in less time while idling, they're able to do this because ford & chrysler may have put higher performing compressors since both cars have higher hp engines (V6) compared to the celica.
