why would you take out your ac especially if it works I stay in houston and can't Imagine life without it are you doing it for weight reduction or what

Re: think of takeing out a/c

man if I had to take out my ac I would be dead, I would have to pop the hatch, and open both doors to let all the ehat out, then sweat on the way home, lol

I did a !a/c and just use the vent. I never even ever used the a/c anyways.
Well, it was turned on like 4 times since I bought the car new in 2001. Porsches come stock with no a/c, but thats another story

The weight savings to it are so small I wouldn't do it unelss going all the way, and it doesn't cost you anything over .1 hp on the weight of the free wheel when its not being used.

I thought about taking mine out because I have t-tops and I live in Minnesota, but then figured it doesn't weigh that much and the free moving wheel isn't robbing me of power.

Re: think of takeing out a/c

well i never use it and all of my other cars i had in the past the a/c nevered worked so i got use to it and im doing it for weight resons why have if u dont use it it just dead weight and i think its like 30 lbs that im takeing out and every bit counts

Re: think of takeing out a/c

it may not be a rotating mass hp drainer. But it does take off weight on the front end. Yes, some of us actually have problems gettting traction off the line, so it helps with our hole shots.

Not even close to 30 pounds. If you are doing it for weight reduction you better be taking out your floor mats and ash tray lid too because it will be that little of a difference. You also will not be gaining any power, your compressor shuts off at WOT. Basicly all you would be doing is drastically reducing the resale value of your car.

^^^^^ Very true.

I couldn't sell mine, and it has a Salvage title anyways.. *cries* Like I give a damn, I'm in it for the build! If I wanted money I would be dealing in mid 90's family cars, grand ams and such fixing dumb problems and reselling them.

But I don't know how much it weighs I do know that when you are going all out that every ounce matters, just wanted to make sure someone wasn't making a mistake just because they didn't use it.

Just FYI-

When people do go all out on weight removal, there isn't an ash tray anyways :) or even a dash for that matter.

Re: think of takeing out a/c

hey if i ever want to sale my car i can always bolt everything back up it wont be a problem oh by the my floor mats and ash tray are out to :) like Nikos95 said ever ounce counts the thing i have out are front inpact bar,the foum stuff that around the inpact bar, sway bar,lift brakets, t-top holder,rear seat and seat belts and then theres these that make my car lighter auliminum drive shaft, firber glass hood, and auliminum roller rocker 1.9

i like the drivetrain/powertrain mods that make for lighter weight like that aluminum driveshaft and the aluminum rockers, those help alot. Maybe some 2000 corvette rims?
