where are u going to mount the condensor?
im putting aircon in my car as well, and would love to get some of the components out of the engine bay.
i thought the hoses would cost a lot, are u using the rubber or aluminum tube stuff to run under the car?

Rubber will be cheaper it's the ends that are exspensive and I have the
Alloy pipes to cut the ends off anyways to make a custom kit if I want.

It's roughly $80 per pipe I'm told.

I'd be going alloy under the car. The tubes in an AC setup are only 6, 8, maybe 10mm outside, whereas a flexible hose for the same job is about 20 or 25mm.

ok, so i have been busy, i thought i would post up some photos, recently i have had of my tank modified for injection, it sits a little lower then my tank it self not by much, has the been all set up for injection properly now

I will use 2 right angled brass fittings and two pipes, will be nice & neat and less lines to run as my fuel reg will be on the heel board of the rear subframe.

spent 2 frustrating days now putting in my minitastic springs. everything is rusted & because of the g13B i cant take my top arms out so it makes life very hard. and did i mention rust.

the nusts were so jammed up there was only one way to come out, i did one side joe took a more angry approach with the angle grinder hehe.

we got the suckers out!

i got my side out slowly while joe got his out pretty quick with the grinder lol

Origonally i was running it very low, but a knocking sound had me raise the ride height. It is now about where it was when i had the rubber cones in it.

I could probably go another 10mm lower at the rear and 5mm at the front if i wanted with no worries.

If you are comming tomorrow night to Munchies you could come and measure it up. :lol:

Ive seen the kit in person and it looks great. If it goes as well as it looks then its going to be something else.
