But my girlyfriend just called me and said the weather is supposed to get to 55 degrees today - woohooo! (Upsate New York)I'm gonna toss 'em back on, pick her *ss up and tear up the streets. Well, as much tearing as a 4 banger can do. Mostly over revving and sputtering, and maybe some leaking and grinding thrown in.
And I brought the plates to work with me today so I could turn them in at the DMV at noon. Close call! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) DRIVE! DRIVE! DRIVE! |

I guess you're turning in your plates to save money on insurance? I found that I drove the car more in the winter than I did in the summer. In the winter, snow is very predictable and w/o AC, being too hot in the car is not an issue. During the summer, rain storms seem to happen at will and I don't like getting my car wet so on iffy days, I'd drive the A6. Also on days above about 82F, I'd drive the A6 since I hate to sweat in a car w/o AC. Even with the roof off, 95F is still 95F in a 914 with a black interior.

My wife's 914 has not had the heater hooked up in 2 years, but the AC has worked for 5 years without touching it. AC makes a 914 a year around driver. |

Lots of the california guys remove the AC, so get one of them to send you the complete DPD system. Get the lines rebuilt with barrier hose, and put a rotary compressor kit on from ICEAC. It will freeze you out of the car if it's charged correctly.

I remember talking to Aircooledboy at the FFC about his Vintage Air A/C. Fairly small unit, but still a shin-skinner (he's a tall guy). He mentioned something about an A/C system that would use the 914's original vent ducts and was placed up under the dash, maybe he'll chime in with more info.

I found a Guy in Dallas who designs and builds units for Porsches, XKE's, etc.
www.europeancoolerair.com Not cheap, but in talking with him on the Phone, he seems like Jake, except for A/C. |
