Re: Project Lex
Had a chance to see how sticky those Nitto's are? I imagine 2nd gear would be fine, but curious if they can hook in 1st gear.

Well just finished up the latest mod to the SC300. Air Conditioning!!!
This thing has not had AC since I bought it, finally decided to get it figured out since I'm a pussy driving it around in July heat/humidity. So when I pressed the AC button, it would start blinking which I believed to mean that it wasn't detecting the compressor clutch engaged. So I jumpered 12V right to the clutch and heard/felt nothing. So I ordered up a reman compressor. Installed the new compressor this weekend. I also replaced just about all the o-rings. There were 2 that I know of that I just couldn't get so they stayed. I also got a new drier from O'Rielly. What was wierd was I ended up having to order one for an SC400, the SC300 didn't have the right dowel pin locations. So anyhow new o-rings, new drier, and new compressor. I jumered 12V to the compressor just to see, and you could hear it engage clear as day, that was a good sign! I ended up calling my cousin who works at a shop in St. Louis Park. We pulled a vacuum on the system and it held perfect. Another good sign! We added oil and then 30oz of R134a. Pressed the AC button when we were all done and out came cold air. Super happy, now I can drive this thing more often since I don't have to worry about constantly sweating my ass off! |
Re: Project Lex
Hell yes!
Nothing pussy about having a sweaty nut sack |
Re: Project Lex
That's awesome, I have to do the same thing. No AC really sucks.
|
Re: Project Lex
Thats awesome that it held pressure, for the car having the years on it. Good call on replacing the receiver drier and compressor. Enjoy the cool air!
|
Re: Project Lex
Very nice! AC with racecar is awesome times!

Nice job! Cool nuts ftw

Re: Project Lex
Staying cool is the best! I don't think I've driven around with the windows down yet this year. Now you just need 35% tint and maybe that ceramic film and you'll be golden.
|
Re: Project Lex
Absolutely on the ceramic tint, just waiting for AJ to throw another par-tay!

Re: Project Lex
^Same here, I should have at least one maybe 2 whips to get done.

Re: Project Lex

Re: Project Lex
Will have to look into it soon.

Re: Project Lex
Dyno today?
me and 5 guests want to know. |
Re: Project Lex
Yeah. Weather sucks ass but I'm scheduled at 3. I might get there at 2 instead if it seems like there's going to be a break in the weather then. Not going to be too exciting though, just doing a quick 3-pull type deal to see how RavenWorks numbers compare since I really have no reference to how their dyno reads in comparison to others I've been on before.
