What are YOU looking at... Group: Members Posts: 372 Joined: 13-March 03 From: Carrollton, Texas Member No.: 423 |
I live in Texas and am wanting to use my new '14 as, more or less, a daily driver and one of the things that is almost MANDATORY in a daily car in Texas is A/C.
I know that the debate rages wildly over the merits of putting A/C in a '14, but lets say that I've decided to take the plunge... What is best? A.) An original Porsche solution that (such as this) B.) Brand New after market A/C from a shop that has experience putting A/C in air cooled Porches and VW's or C.) Get over yourself and just suffer... If anyone knows any such A/C specialists in the D/FW area, please let me know. I had the name of one when I had my previous car, but sold it before I got around to putting A/C in it. As always, suggestions, comments and flames recieved with equal zeal! Doug |

It has a rotary compressor conversion, running R134A. I will also show you my AC system, but its not finished yet. I plan on upgrading the condenser fans on both cars. Wes did this on Joe Yoder's car, and it makes a big difference in the amount of cold air the AC pushes out. |
