Wow money can go on a dime

[Nemesis]

So I decided I wanted to get my daily driver up and perfect condition with AC

I managed to narrow the AC problem down to the compressor/clutch failing. I go pick up a new one yesterday so it could get here today. 385 dollars. Damn old cars cost a lot Ok, fine. Get the part today around noonish. I take around an hour in a hot as garage under a warm engine bay replacing the compressor. I fill it with oil, etc etc. The heat must have gotten to me and I realized I need to vacuum and evacuate the old R-12 system, and the rest is all she wrote. I say fuck renting the machine to do that at auto zone then screw around with it in my garage. I just take it to PepBoys, since I dont care anymore. So they are doing a leak test, and evacuation of the old stuff and recharging the entire system right now. Hopefully nothing else goes wrong, because thatll just screw my day over even more. Its costing me around an extra hundred to do all of this... Oh well Im leaving soon, and hopefully returning with a nice cool Z31.

the prices you pay for creature comforts..

what dd is it? the cougar?

[Ran]

R-12 is so much better than that new sh*t they use; R-31 or something. Instant cold while R-31 takes forever to cool off. D*mn environmentalists.

Cougar stays in the garage. Right now its undergoing some things.

If it was the Cougar, I can do anything from pulling the motor to installing a new tranny in my garage. That car I know inside and out.

The Z is a different story. I drive the Z everyday also and just recently 98 degrees in rush hour with no AC almost killed me the other day lol

You can rent a AC vacumn, refill machine at Autozone?

[3kgtdrvr]

just fyi its r134a. my buddy in like switzerland or something they just use co2. it doesnt cool worth shit but since they dont get that hot it works. the high side pressure is like 3,000 or something like that lol

[BTLFED]

just fyi its r134a.

Just FYI older cars like his Z31 use R12. R12 is quite a bit more expensive that R134A. The system can be converted to use R134A, but it isn't cheap.

[CHADbee]

the pep boys are gay.

[Boosted S60R]

so i wonder if it worked?

[redlinenprelude]

did it work?? or is still a sweaty mexican?

[Nemesis]

Im selling the car. Its gonna cost more to get it fixed. Im just going to use the money I get for selling it to buy a WRX.

That's what I really want.


So yeah, in the next day you should see a perfectly running Z31 minue the AC with 135k original miles on it, for 1100.

[Z0_o6]

A/C is always a complete pain in the ass to fix, its NEVER cheap.

Oh I thought you were talking to George LOL. Sorry.

[3kgtdrvr]

its cool, sorry if i came off like a dick

[Truegiant]

to bad on the a/c though. And the r12/r134a conversions are not expensive at all. COMMON MISCONCEPTION! Went to buy a new f22 accord a/c comp. and the first two I put on were BAD! gotta love refurbished parts
