How many people run no AC and PS
 
Jsut kinda wanted to know. And how do you like driving the car without them.

SpiffyD 10-16-05 08:11 PM

its fine for me i gotten use to it by just cracking the window down sometimes for removing the AC and for the PS just gained muscles lol

RotaryJun 10-16-05 08:14 PM

Well I still have my power steering but my AC is disabled. I don't mind cracking the window down anyway because mine are power.

fcdrifter13 10-16-05 08:20 PM

I should have been more specific on the last option still have them but without the power loss and wieght.

mudbone 10-16-05 08:21 PM

Where is the poll option of no AC but yes to PS I like my power steering

FirstRotaryExp 10-16-05 08:21 PM

I have both my PS and AC disabled and removed. I enjoy the modifications. And if you do remove your AC pump, it frees up space, engine rpm, current draw from the alt, and if you remove teh ac condenser you can notice teh increase in cooling the stock radiator and fan provide now that it doesnt have to suck through that thick POS.

My TII has a manual rack and I love it! I wouldn't give up my AC for anything. It's never gotten in my way and my Koyo and stock fan keep my water temps in check even down here in the summer.

Mine has no A/C, it was disabled when I bought the car, not sure if it works. I am thinking of hooking it back up again. Being stuck in traffic in the dead of summer is really not a whole lot of fun behind a burning hot engine bay....then again, A/C is not good for the engine in that case either. Still, I can't say I wouldn't like to have the option.

unek87 10-16-05 09:41 PM

like a friend once told me "all you need is 280 baby. 2 windows, 80 mph " :rlaugh:
and who needs power steering the fc is so light as it it is once you start to turn it .it does it on its own

Apathy 10-16-05 09:46 PM

Like no ps for drifting applications.... but when trying to parrallel park, I wouldnt mind giving my arms a break....

and if my wallet had it's way I'd have a car with every version but right now (and first car) i got no p/s or a/c..I'm thinkin on changin back to "original" but I really haven't driven my 7 enough yet..that sports car feel though..it's kinda catchy!!I like the car huggin the road ..feels like it's on rails!

DesmoFO 10-16-05 10:08 PM

I nd my a/c. Even though I don't use it much, which is kinda pointless in having a/c. I could do without the power steering but since it works why ruin a good thing.

SpiffyD 10-16-05 10:24 PM

i didnt no FCs come in power steering in the first place lol

Stanello 10-16-05 10:25 PM

I love it

Wankel7 10-16-05 10:37 PM

I removed teh AC and PS because I am always working on teh car and it will never be a daily driver again. The extra space is great because it makes changing plugs about a five minute affair.

The condesnor being gone is nice since I have a greddy fmic. It helps with the temps.

Not having AC kinda sucks where I live because it is over 100 everyday in the summer. I have to admit my ball bag is about fall of I get so hot. However, its ok....

i have the ac unit still in the car but its not hooked up and i disconnected my powersteering. My other back up car has powersteering and it drives me crazy now since im used to not having it.

88t2romad 10-16-05 11:23 PM

i removed em both and love it. Not because of the "sports car feel" but rather the sumplicity of 1 belt and a clear engine bay.

And like wankel said, its not a daily driver, so i figure i can deal with it every once in a while.

fcdrifter13 10-16-05 11:50 PM

Thanks guys this is gonna help me out alot in the future. Now if you guys were smart enough and could put together all of the treads I am starting I think you will figure out just what I have in mind for the 88 GTU shell that is just taking up spacing in my driveway. OHHHHHHH think of the possibilites.

Mason Rx7 10-17-05 12:09 AM

I'm considering taking mine out. No wait, I'm gonna take mine out.

The A/C doesn't work so I just cut the belt out until I can get around to pulling everything out and the P/S pisses me off whenever I try to change the oil filter or spark plugs. I can't wait to yank all that crap outta there! I haven't ever owned a car with A/C and this is the first one with P/S and I can't stand it!

Yanking it all out sometime.

fc3sfreek 10-17-05 12:10 AM

If my car came with it i would keep it, but since it didnt i got used to it and learned to love it. and habving no condenser sure helps w/ the cooling process :bigthumb:

Jakor 10-17-05 12:20 AM

I have it, but am gona remove it. I have heard that I should try disabled powersteering instead of switching to a manual steering rack.

My a/c didn't work in the first place (you have to hold the button in for it to work) and I'm gona remove it soon. I live where it's 50-60 at any given time during the year... and if it's ever a nice day... the top comes down =p

Taka87 10-17-05 12:26 AM

I have no AC and I'm ok with it. Just get some nice tint :D

And I don't think I could live w/o PS.

It's not all that bad. The only thing it is good for is dry steering and ruining your tires. I used to drive a '66 Mustang w/o P/S. Now that is a pain. In the 7 it is quite nice.

Taka87 10-17-05 12:38 AM

I've only driven my friends 1980's VW rabbit GTI with no power steering. When I first drove it I was like "Shit it's not turning" lol. But after a while you get used to it....and then you drive your PS car again and it feels weird

rodney87 10-17-05 01:01 AM

My option ain't there, I took out the AC but left the PS.
