The T2 is home

But no pics. Dad stalled it in the driveway and it flooded, and then we killed the battery. Pics to come.

Dad used a booster battery to start it this morning, worked like a charm. Finally got it up the driveway too. That took some pushing. Now I'm thinking about ps and ac removal, I need room for my hands in there.

Yeah the AC really takes up the space to get at the plugs. But for any gains you'd get by taking out the power steering, its just not worth it. I used to hate the power steering....now its my friend or I'm just getting lazy.

Oh Rick BTW:











































This thread is usless without PICS !!!!!!!

come on people, you want to remove AC just because it makes it easier to change spark plugs? there are harder things to do than change spark plugs with AC and PS in the way. in fact i don't think it's hard at all.
seeing as how i only drive the car in the summer, might as well have AC. only downside is that 1HP i loose with it being there, which is a crazy amount of power.
interesting to note that the ECU is actually smart enough to automatically disengage the A/C if you go over 50% throttle...

anyways, good luck with the car. and yes....PICS!! heh

that and I don't want to have it recharged. I don't use the air in anything I drive. And the extra room will just be a bonus. Pics on their way.
