Adding climate to the cup?

[raggsy99]

I have recently had my beautiful 172 cup taken away from me as someone decided to drive into it and write it off. :dapprove:

I am now looking for another 172 and debating whether to do the following...
There seems to be quit a few cups about at a reasonable price, I was wondering if anyone new how much it would be to add climate and abs to a cup as I would like to have these 2 luxury's. I could buy a standard 172 and have them on it but its proving difficult to find one with the right colour and alloys to my liking.

Any help pleeeeeeeeease.

thats sacralidge, you're not allowed to do such a silly thing

buy one and mod it then

Fred - how much does the aircon system weigh? in other words, if i asked you to kindly pull it out for me, how much of a difference would there actually be?

Sounds like a huge amount of work that will not add any value to the re sale value.

Start with a FF and fit cup suspension and turinis.

If you want to shed the weight that can be done too.

I'll fricken swap you dude, your cup setup for my aircon! Meet you at freds!

lol - just buy a normal 172 if you want climate & abs, by the time you've shoved all that on i, it will defeat the object of a cup.

Alternatively, just buy a cup with a/c already on it (they are rare though)

 

[Fred@BTM]

from memory its about 25-30kg, so not a massive amount

but changing to a cup aux belt setup just seems to free up some power, i guess its because the crank is having to power less items with a cup setup

 

[S22 JGS]

how much would it cost for you to do it all for me dude?

 

[raggsy99]

I spose it is a strange idea, I just like the colour and setup of a cup, but for my own safety would like abs and climate for the comfort.

I'll just stick to looking for a 172.

Thanks for putting me straight lol

A fair bit! I was looking into it and was trying to get the mounts and alternator from a breakers but its like trying to find rocking horse poop.
Renaults charge silly money for brackets and shizz

[Fred@BTM]

hum, i'll get our guys to price up machining a bracket, see if it can work out cheaper

 

[S22 JGS]

its something i would happily attempt myself, but i thought there were some rules on disposing of such things to do with gasses etc

 

[RichMcc]

70+ for a bracket I want the mofo gold plated for that!

 

[Fred@BTM]

i quie lke this climate change thing though

 

[S22 JGS]

LOL whats better than it getting warmer eh!! just means women out in skirts!!!

if you could get us a rough price would be superb Fred...its one of the last things on my list now.

 

[Fred@BTM]

what you could do to save you some £££ is rip everything out, but leave the PAS in and then we could just sort that

 

[S22 JGS]

whats everything? LOL

 

[Fred@BTM]

aircon rad, pipes, ac compressor etc etc

 

[S22 JGS]

hmmmm ok.... ill have a read up on the clio air con system and see

 

[RichMcc]

Im gonna de-gas mine too... love the weather! Might cut down some trees later!

 

[S22 JGS]

do i need to get the brackets etc, and make the aux belt changes before i came you you Fred? last thing i wanna do is go start this and render the car useless LOL

 

[clidge]

could you remove the climate ansd everything but still have basic heater controls?

 

[S22 JGS]

/\/\ yes

 

[S22 JGS]

thats idealy how i want mine.... i never use aircon, but heater i do.
so if i can lose a bit of weight, and gain a little power with the cup setup then i may as well go for it

 

[clidge]

thats what i would want mate a heater that works normally through the climate display but i could loose all the pipe work and have a cup setup... i know christurbo on here did this through yozza so dont know if it costs alot to do really
