air con delete devalue car?

[cat171]

I'd leave it there, unless you really need to remove it.

 

[Munson]

WTF? You the guy who spun his V6 pulling away from the traffic lights? Like, a hundred years ago??

Yep sort of!! the back end randomly cut loose on it. I still have the car.
I see you ditched the Roy part of your name.

 

[Munson]

Jesus. Not seen you on here for years. Welcome back IMO.

Can't understand why anyone would get rid of aircon! I'd rather piss into the wind.

 

[Chip-mk1]

​If I went on track in this heat I certainly would, not like I'd be chasing seconds and I'd rather not bake.

Had our aircon on yesterday at FCS, still went past just about everyone on track including every clio I met, so it didnt seem to harm performance enough to matter, and makes for a much more pleasant day.

 

[James1470]

never really use air con. only this summer really, but its usually freezing cold in england anyway, if I was looking for one i'd prefer no air con.

In the winter the aircon clears the screen a lot quicker.

 

[Sam@NP]

Am I the only one who would use the A/C on a track day

No, I used my bluetooth too

 

[JCC]

There must be loads of people sitting there in winter waiting for their windows to demist, not realising it takes seconds with the AC on.

I wouldn't have a car without it again.

 

[Michaelfoz]

​I did a couple of weeks ago, didnt affect how much fun I had!

Damn you all!
Was so hot the other week!!!

I only done it as it nearly paid for itself when doing the belts (non cup setup costs extra when doing the belts)

link to video?

 

[Laura]

id be put off from buying it.

 

[Munson]

As would virtually every potential buyer who isn't from a car forum thinking they're buying race car.

Effort and money for literally zero tangible benefit. Baffling modification.

 

[cat171]

Seriously ??

Err no, I was concentrating on not crashing it. It was a hair raising moment (well it would be if I had any) all was OK.

yes

Buy a car without air-con! What is this, the 60's?

That would be fully r****d, unless you're then going to strip the whole car out.

Just get the car taken for a once-over of the system and get your air-chiller working properly

Doesn't the Pure Motorsport kit make the water pump turn backwards? I'm sure I looked at one and it was the case, could someone clarify?

 

[Fletcher]

Depends on the car IMO.

I have the lightweight PMS AC delete kit waiting to go in my 172. The car in question is totally stripped out, only running one seat etc, So the weight saving and slight power increase are worthwhile. Also makes cambelt changes cheaper in the future and with the PMS kit the aux belt alternator are out of the way, so if the auxbelt snaps it won't take out the cambelt.

BTW I do like AC, and have it on all year round in my daily driver.

 

[Andyman]

I would leave it in just incase someone from the South decides to buy it :rasp:

 

[hipwell]

Thanks guys.

My box whine is getting worse so ill need to money for that.

only when you reverse. It also puts fuel back in the tank when you go backwards.

Only if the belts been routed wrongly.

 

[pure-motorsport]

I'd sooner just fix it personally.

Also if you do it then the pure kit seems to have had a few reliability issues, its lovely and light etc, so probably a good choice for a race car, but I reckon a secondhand cup setup is a much more durable option.

Reliability issues? That's news to us.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Reliability issues? That's news to us.

Have a word with Mike at MWM mate (assume you have his contact details as I believe you sent one of your manifolds and exhausts to him today for Porkies car)

 

[Chili Red]

Ridiculous idea. Unless you don't want to sell it.

 

[cat171]

yes

WTF ?? Why the hell would I have a video ??

 

[Munson]

Ridiculous idea. Unless you don't want to sell it.

Or drive it.

 

[Goodj]

Does removing air-con increase finger-bang & pops?

Or is that another pointless devaluation-mod?
