like the title says, do you rock A/C? vote in the poll and post up here. :TU:

no A/C for the shogun. never worked when i bought the car, so i ripped it out. that $600 repair could go towards something more useful.





let me know who rolls with the windows down come summer! :shogun:

A/C here, it's the first car I've had where the A/C actually works. I hardly use it though, only when it's raining or it's extremely hot and I'm sitting in traffic.

Windows Down Baby!!!:rockon:

yup, i'm still rockin it. i drive way too much to not have it. i need the defrost and it's nice on long trips in the summer. plus, it keeps my fiance from finding another thing to complain about when she's in the car. :TU:

i have it, but i hardly ever use it because it makes the car feel slower, and it must have a leak because it just blows hot air, i usually just roll with windows and sunroof down

my car is a drop down, bottom of the line, base model DX 5 speed.. it didn't come with a/c or powersteering. came with a radio(just radio no tape deck), & only a side mirror for the driver(block off plate on the pass side).. thats the extent of my luxeries. i bought it from the original owner & she still had the Dealers window sticker in the glovebox(i kept it). & i only gave her 500 bucks for the whole car! i couldnt pass up the perfect weightless coupe to build into the perfect race car! i mean come on?? 500 bucks for a 93 coupe in awesome shape?!??! even if you didn't need a car, you'd still buy it!

i rock the A/C, last summer it was godly, it would blow so cold that it would actually frost/fog as it came out of the vents....fealt soooo nice.... but i only use it when its too hot for comfort, when its raining, or when its just flat out humid. otherwise u better belive i rock it with the windows down

Car had A/C system in it, but it was tired and needed a recharged. Tore it out to make room for my upcomming Turbo setup. I still have all the parts, incase I change my mind. :cool:

i have ac, but i don't use it much. when it's raining or i'm on the phone it comes in handy.
i don't think i'm going to be taking it out anytimme soon, i want to keep all the original equipment it came with including the engine.

Average temp is probably like 55-65 degrees.

I dont have A/C but I've been thinkin about puttin it back in. I dunno as a daily driver it sometimes sucks with all the humidity we have here.

Facundo
01-26-2007, 01:33 PM
no ac for me unfortunately. never there but if i was to put it. most likely the turbo would be on the way of the lines.

bumpstick
01-26-2007, 03:30 PM
no a/c for me. i've got the whole setup sitting in my shed but i don't think it's ever going back in the car.

windows down FTW

01-27-2007, 01:19 PM
yup hardly use it... unless its incredibly hot or someone is in the car who doesnt want the windows open

-eXpo-
01-27-2007, 01:22 PM
I have it, but don't use it. I've had it in all 3 of my cars and hardly ever used it unless someone was in my car complaining about how hot it is.

01-30-2007, 10:50 PM
a/c is gonzoo. previous owner ripped it out, and i've got no problems with that. im just fine ridding with the windows down and if a passenger has a problem with it, i tell them if they put up the $600+, i'll gladly get it chillin..or pull over at the next bus stop cuz the public transportation system loves to keep them cool :wink:

i wish i had A/C....it's rare to find an Si/EX here in Vancouver with A/C....

I had a/c, but like a dumbass I took it out. My friend told me when I did my swap that if I was going turbo that it would not fit...now I know they Manis that will clear it! I was in the Navy and lived on the boat so I had no place to store it...he took the whole entire thing out except the unit itself! We trashed a perfectly good a/c system. I did not want to cruise with it in my trunk for 3 years. I was in socal so it was fine...the santa ana breezes kept me cool unless in traffic.
Then I moved to Orlando, FL. and the hell began...when it rains you cannot see shit with a/c...let alone with your windows fogged up...usually had to pull over and wait or die! I found one finally and got the whole thing for 50 bucks - the compressor, but just bought one for 20 buck...hope it works. Now I just need a Del Sol Si a/c bracket to install it and get it charged. Need it before summer, 3 summers without it is too much!

02-25-2007, 09:20 PM
no i wish i had it. Florida is gonna get hot again this summer. Hopefully I will have a swap with it, I hate getting sweaty when im driving lol

97EJ6mike
02-25-2007, 11:06 PM
no A\C here, lol you wimps, put jo' windows down, lol jk.

I used to have it and use it allot too, but since i swapped the motor, it would only hamper the swapping process, so i removed the entire assembly just before the swap, to make things easier, as well as possibly re-install it if i felt the need to do so.

Come to think of it, i was pretty shocked at the time when i felt how much of a weightloss it really was when i took acount of everything. Id say a good 20-30 lbs, between the compressor, radiator, lines and resivour.

i use my a/c when the heat's just too damn unbearable to roll w/ my windows down. it's not too often that happens here in so cal, but it does.

02-27-2007, 02:18 PM
YeZZiR...the stockton valley is superfluously hot in the summer time...haha thats a big word...but i just stay in the bay area much more cooler...OH anD whY CAnT i VOTE???

dmacedo
02-27-2007, 02:58 PM
have it, doesn't work. I think it just needs a recharge, if i cant bear the heat this summer i will charge it up. If not, the windows stay downnn

SittinTooLow
03-06-2007, 09:29 PM
I Had A/c it worked and everything. I removed it when i replaced the front radiator support/did the motor swap/ added suspension...well everything. Always have the top off and all 3 windows down in the del sol, never used it anyway. All that empty space in the engine bay makes the car look hardcore.
