I was saving up for some rotas and a camber kit for the civic and my F%*ing A/C quit on me , I took it to a shop and they said that my compresser is dead and that with labor is going to cost me about $850. Now I know most of you are thinking forget the A/C and just drop it and buy the rims:rocks: , I live in Texas, it's October and 93 degrees outside rightnow, it sux balls driving 45 min to work/home every day sweating my ass off. Part of me wants to just buy the rims and drive with the windows down this fall and fix it later, but the other part of me hates driving some where and showing up with sweat stains all over my shirt... DAMM!!!
you can get it fixed cheaper than that if you look around. The compressor is about 200 bucks from an auto parts store. Find someone who knows what they're doing to put it in cause most garages charge a ridiculous amount for AC work.
DUDE head to a fuckin junk yard and pick one up way cheaper!! thats the most insane price for a honda AC compressor i've ever heard!
IF you get one from the junkyard, make sure you FLUSH IT, flush your AC system, install a new accumulator/receiver drier, and orifice tube. If you don't flush it and change those parts it will just wear out again quickly. Dont take it to a jiffy lube type place either.
why do you need the AC? delete that ish! haha on my next toy car (2000 model year or older) im gonna delete the AC and PS. i'd do it to my current car, but it's only a month old haha
the ac on your fit should free up like 20hp:roflmao: but seriously its probly dirt slow with the ac on though isnt it
my car is super fuckin slow with the ac on I still want it to work cause girls complain like hell in a car with no ac if u didnt know...
SO TRUE, its a fact that girls (especially ones with long hair) will not roll in a car with the windows down
Yeah my car is slow as shit with the A/C on (when it was working) My wife hated my car even when it did have A/C she think it's a sardeen can, We're both kinda tall...
More HP please Since my a/c if F'd up will I get some more hp if I cut the compressor belt off? I looked at it, and that belt is only for the compressor and it runs over a pully for tension adjustment.
werd on cutting off the old belt. and yeah, my wife hates riding in my car with the windows down too, but with the a/c on my car is slow as fawk too, lol. when she tells me to turn it on, i'm like no way, it makes my car slower. :googly:
SWEET!!! :rocks: Thanks guys...I'm going to do that on my lunch break today. I might go without the stupid A/C after all and just get some damm wheels, if I can ever make up my mind on which ones
Well I did it... and DAMM!!! it feels like a diffrent car, I didn't expect that much of a change, I'm thinking about getting a BLOX intake manifold I saw one in a mag for $200 for my car I have a d16y8, I wonder if it's worth the money? 97-ferio, you put a greddy intake on your car right? did it give you a nice hp increase?
