You should get some benefit in the way of a reasonably substantial weight reduction (I was told about 15kg) also a few potential extra horses as the engine wont be driving the band round it which puts up some degree of resistance. If its a track car you're after then defo worth it (as i think you keep the fan and heater functions) but for road car use I wouldn't bother simply because of the convenience of demisting quickly in the winter.

 

[Gray]

you will see a 2bhp ~ gain, but the weight reduction is more beneficial as you loose around 15kg

No air-con in the Med ? You must be crazy ! I don't like having no air-con in the UK....

Take the back seats out .. or lose a few Kgs yourself Probably just as noticeable.

/cynic

 

[plasticmorph]

haha didnt realise your in cyprus! i'll retract my demisting in the winter comment then

 

[Goodj]

May I also suggest ditching the rear seats first, at least they're a lot easier to take out.... and put back in!

 

[Tsiaklis172]

hahaha..yes here its like hell in summer.. but 15 kg lower its 0.5 almost 0.8 sec quicker at start point if you go track race.(i set to much?)
its not healthy to talk about street racing coz "kids are watching this movie"
if its your only car and live in med yes!! then you don't cancel it that easy, but if you have a second car with...then i don't mind cancel it.

in cyprus we need cars with aircondition like you don't need cabrios in england

thank you all for responding

Ouch!

 

[Goodj]

We need Cabrios in England to take full advantage of even the slightest glimmer of sun, as normally it'll come out during the daily commute!

 

[Tsiaklis172]

imagine that..

 

[Tsiaklis172]

haha lose!?! need to gain here...if i lose more kgs ill disappear.... you know any light racing wheels?? BBS or ....OZ.. (crazy with speedlines 2118)

 

[mr.pink87]

oz ultraleggeras or td pro race 1.2 in 15" should be light enough. btw ac is for girls....

 

[Tsiaklis172]

girls and hot weathers... anyhow deleting a/c is the last if done job ill do...ill see the response of the car after i do the rest..

 

[Martin_172]

[Tsiaklis172]

What is the cost of Deleting A/C on a clio 172 ph1???

 

[Martin_172]

it can be done quite cheap all you need is the Alternator and alternator bracket from a 172 cup along with the 172 cup aux belt.

wests sell a kit with everything needed, all brand new genuine renault too http://www.cliosport.net/forum/show...-172-cup-setup-£330&highlight=air+con+removal

Dont have access on that part for forum yet!!!
any other way to comunicate?!?

 

[mr.pink87]

you need these parts:

Alternator - 7701499959
Aux Belt - 8200821816
Alternator mount 1 - 8200031832
Alternator mount 2 - 7700868118
Tensioner bolt - 7700104128

and you need to bend the pas line out of the way (a little)

 

[Tsiaklis172]

thanks pink..its a challenge for me to make it happend as i never try it before in my garage....is it better to have a profectionall with me or its not that complicated?!? ill look up the above parts that i need....hope i can find them here...or we manage something else.

 

[mr.pink87]

it´s not rocket science but should be a bit fiddly due to the lack of space in the bay. You can order these parts via Ktec or Wests Renault (should be cheaper). Better sign up as a full member!

 

[Tsiaklis172]

will do thanks

[Wests Renault]

drop me a pm if you'd like to order parts

 

[Andyman]

JMS do a aircon delete kit for the ph2. No idea if it will fit a ph1 and not sure if you have to buy the alternator ?

[GodSpeed]

Only thing that would make me even consider losing AC (even up here in the north) is fitting a Supercharger kit.

Whats wrong with opening a window if your warm?

Folk are as soft as shite these days
