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.

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

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?

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