To ditch AC or not...

@green

The windows go down dont they??

Sure do… maybe I should just get rid of those too!

@Wayne9125

i never use the a/c…always have the windows down

Honestly 90%+ of the time I have the windows down in this car anyway. The only times I have it up are usually leaving the AutoX venue I go to that’s in the valley of Central Cali. It can be 115+ so after a day in the sun racing/working the course it’s nice to be cool on the way to the hotel/home.

Here’s my .02, although it does seem like you have your mind made up to ditch it.

Removed AC from the Talon. Car was fine while cruising, but a bitch in traffic. Somewhat regretted it, since it was my daily, but I just dealt with it.

Removed from Miata - top goes down, still hot while sitting in traffic.

I’m going to try and keep it in my next car, but these have all been DD’s. In a car that sees less action, it’d probably be easily livable.

The car won’t get DDed. I take it to work on nice days, I drive it on the weekends, and I race it. It’ll be very rare that I’d be stuck in traffic in the heat. If I’m going to a racing venue it’s usually at the ass-crack of dawn so it’s cold/cool. If I’m going home from racing it’s late afternoon/evening so it’s cooling off. And I make sure to avoid bad traffic areas during commute times to preserve the clutch.

@BlkP42E

a/c is for bitches. rip it out

:werd:

@BlackZ28

keep it… its too nice of a car to be gutting it out.

Thanks for the compliment. I wouldn’t call taking the AC out “gutting it” though. I’m not ditching the stereo, any of the interior pieces, or even the extra dyna mat in the “trunk” area… yet.

@Shaggy

Ditch it, you never get ass in your car idling anyway.

Even if I did get ass with it idling we’d both pass out before we could finish from the fumes.

@ZEXaccord

Keep the A/C if you daily drive the car in the summer.

I don’t daily drive it, ever. Lexo FTW.

@Shaggy

Um he is in central/southern cali, 300+ days a year is like summer/spring to us :stick:

No, no no. It’s not like your spring/summer here 300+ days/year. It’s better. If it’s 90 degrees here it’s not humid. There it’s 90 degrees and 90+ humidty.
