jason what do you have to do on your a/c system?, i can probably be of assistance.

also what are you guys plan the day of IA? im gonna head down there and be in ATL probably around 6-7 so i can rewash the car once down there. trying to roll in with you guys. also i guessing since everybody got different hotels. you want to pick a place where we all can meet?

hopefully i can finish my trunk inclosure so i can fit my full spare tire in. plus lower the car, and get my windows tinted.

anybody know a fair priced place that does window tinting?

The A/C just doesn't blow cold air. I don't know if it has a leak or just wasn't recharged after my accident. I don't want to just want to use a bottle from an auto store cause they make things worse from what I have read online.

Eric yes I have. I have also found out that if the system has no charge at all I can't do anything on my own and if it does have some charge which I doubt since it doesn't blow any cold air I have a 50/50 shot of ruining my system using one of those auto part store cans.

ay. look here. ay... just run your car with the windows down. There isn't a day in april where you will absolutely have to have a/c. Besides, you need to listen to the sounds of the engines and exhausts anyways.

You can meet us at the hotel we are staying at in the morning, I will probably be hung over that morning. Saturday will be the big Azine meet at the park.

My car is clean!!! First time in forever . It's been raining too much, and it's been outside all winter . Got a couple of nasty little touchups I need to hit, too. POS. Two weeks until garaged again, though

your right about the auto store refills could mess up the system by containing some kind of sealant in them. does the a/c compressor kick in alot? like on and off every like couple minutes? if so, it might be too low of a refrigerant charge. or might be too charged up once the compressor kick on it see too high of pressure so it kick off. it really hard to judge without reading the pressure of the high side and low side.

if you take it to a shop, they need to ....

1. identify the refrigerant (if pure r134a then move to next step, may have other gases that can be filter out, but not r12)
2. perform a sealant test (if no sealant move to next step)
3. recover frigerant, and oils from system.
4. put the a/c system under a vacuum, if pass then move to next step.
5. charge refrigerant and oil needed for your car.
6. test a/c system with performance chart to make sure your system is operating within range of specs.

hope it help, i understand why u don't trust shops, especially with all the money u put into it i wouldn't either. i just recharged the a/c in my tl and civic and it freaking cold. both were undercharge about 4-5 oz.



beat, i probably head to your hotel, once i am down there. wish i could party with you guys but need the days off for my trip to texas this june. pm your address of the hotel so i know where to head to.

That CL looks fucking amazing. I typically hate the 02-03 TL lip, but with it molded in + the mock front diffuser =

The chrome headlights and trim work well with the color too. It was a definitely a good choice, I think the 03 headlights wouldn't look right with that color. Got any side profile pics?

Ben said he custom made those. He wanted a straight edge look. It looks good in person. I wish I took more photos of it. He said he will be down in atlanta for IA.

They haven't been posting anything about advanced tickets on their fb page so I am assuming there isn't.

Bee did you say you're heading down saturday?
