If weather is above 90 degree not much can be done it will be hot just have to get use to it, you can do all the mods but it will reduce the heat slightly but nothing will make it run cooler.If air temp is above 93 you don't want the air to blow on you because that is hotter then human skin temp, heat deflectors under the seat above cylinder #2 will help you but not the passenger directing the hot air away from you toward the rear.

Xied's will cool it down some. Also, just purchased a cylinder head cooling fan. (search best engine cooling on this forum)

Sell it to some single guy and go on Ebay and find a good used '98 or earlier with an EVO motor. No heat problems and they're bullet proof.
