Seriously. I've welded shut over 115 holes in my coupe's bay which I thought was a lot of work...now comes the filling and sanding which is kicking me arse.

So, props to you guys who've put in the hours and now have such nice engine bays to show for it - I raise a beer to thee.

In process:

yep. lots of work! it looks so much better in the end though!

true... true... all of this car nonsense is a LOT of work

funny thing though, all of you guys in your 20s think welding all that shit shut is cool race-spec blahblah


then you turn 30 and are like "fuck, that AC shit would be kinda nice right about now"

hopefully if you're 40, 50, 60 (or up).... well, i dunno what to say if you're still driving a 240SX. I'm sorry? :-)

Sorry Dave. Sorry Diego. Sorry Paul. haha

i'm took out my a/c components when i was 16. regret it ever since. even though it didnt work. but now its gona cost me around 500 to have everything new to put back in.

I wish I had A/C in my 240, goddamn kid who had it before didn't do the A/C on his CA18 swap. It is my to and from graveyard shift car.

Im still trying to figure out how to put ac in my vert, it didnt come with it. Oem. I didnt know that was a option? But has no ac lines, no ac button inside, and no compressor or bracket. So i only assume is oem?

I want to put ac in it, but i dont want to pull the dash and put it all in and have a gay switch somewhere to turn it on. Im debating just ripping the whole top out. Its a weekend car anyways.

AFAIK, I don't believe an A/C delete was possible from the factory. In the US at least. I'm always confused when people say their cars came stock without A/C.

future

Did you not just see my explination? So idk how you don't see why some think it didn't come with it.

Its a stock to the bones vert. Not one mod. And does not have one thing for the ac system

I just recently got my A/C working again and I feel like I am driving a brand new luxury car now lol. Driving on the freeway with the windows up and the music not blasting just to hear it!

davinci

yup im 30 and i know better. ls1 swap went in, and so did the ac. full nice interior. no busted "project car" here. IF i want a girl to get in it its gotta look good and feel good. plus i live in tx haha ac is a must

Fred Allen Burge

AC? I have a G35x for that!

This project is about going fast and looking cool which often happens at the expense of comfort (noise, heat, ride, sound system, leather, etc.). Not that it can't be had all at the same time but if that's the goal then I'd be much better off starting with a Lexus and then adding the Fast from there...which is a good idea actually..

Good luck with shaving the bay. I was planning that for my ls14 but decided to just enjoy driving it.

One_love_silvia

false. my friend has an s14 with no a/c from factory. the button isn't even there, it's just a blank. he's had the car for like 4 years. and it's auto, so you know someone didn't take the ac out of it lol

I haven't used A/C in years... when I did have it in my car, our summer only warranted like 2 days for me to use it.

future

Same story as my vert

All stock and no ac components

then what's in place of where the "Ac controller" would be at? A blank piece of plastic?

ILoveJDM

yup. you do realize its 1 single button right, and there is still the fan with cool/heat ..

also verts dont come with a/c...

You mean the climate control? I have one, but there is no ac button. Just a black part. It has a blower. But no ac

Yeah climate control. Lol. But i thought they all had AC. Learned something new.

future

I didn't know verts came without a/c. I though my original owner was just too cheap for it lol.

If you are going for a tucked bay, that lowest hole you welded is where I run all my engine wiring and clutch line through. It makes the bay look cleaner, since the motor hides it from view.

My hatch is the same way. I think it was originally bought in Alaska so no need for A/C.

h2v7

after reading this thread all i want to know is if ac is option or not

i forgot about all that clean looking bay goodness
