jon5698 Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Well i thought with the weather being nice today i would finally remove the aircon. It was quite easy apart from nearly choking on the aircon gas lol. All in all it took about 2 hours, but that was because of a couple of welded on bolts. Anyway i was quite suprised the difference it made once removed and there is plenty of room for a fmic when i can afford one. I have decided to bite the bullet and buy some alloys on my credit card ;) didn't really want to do that but can't wait to save up the money. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

oli_h Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 ent it against the law to let the gases out because its all that fucking green peace mallarky, not that im bothered just querying Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Idrees Posted February 4, 2007 Share Posted February 4, 2007 Nice.Those wheels are damn sweet, but i'd advise you to save up, fcuk the credit card! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted February 4, 2007 Author Share Posted February 4, 2007 Think it is illegal to vent the gas, but don't know where you would go to get it removed. I know what you mean about the credit card but i am trading them wheels that i bought for them so i don't think it will be that much. Plus if i pay off how much i was going to save each week it will work out the same. i was torn between them and the innovite ones, but you can only get the innovite in 16's.

GT_Neil Posted February 6, 2007 Share Posted February 6, 2007 dose it make much difference having the unit out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jon5698 Posted February 8, 2007 Author Share Posted February 8, 2007 Yes i could notice a difference, you want to feel the weight of the compressor with its mounting bracket. Plus it is not putting as much strain on your engine. After some light weight pulleys from fensport when i can afford them. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
