question for those of you without AC

[SketchyRollin564]

ok so i had AC but when i switched engines i never put the AC compressor back in and im too lazy to do it so im gonna pay sombody to do it when i get a jobbut anyways, no AC's not a problem till summer, just roll the windows up when its cold, have em down when its not... no problem

the only thing hate is when it rains and i have the windows up so i dont get wet, the inside glass gets foggy as hell to the point where i cant see

i keep the glass clean, and i even bought this "anti-fog interior glass" s*** by rain x and applyed it how they said, and it still doesnt help. the windows fog up like crazy, and no matter how many times i keep wiping them it just keeps coming back

im wondering what you people without AC use to get around this?

[ashibah83]

de-froster and visors, you know the rain guard things, i really need to get some

[tramp_drift240]

just turn on your air or something. put it on defrost so it adjusts the temp of the glass.

or just dont breathe like a serial killer.

[SketchyRollin564]

yeah i would put the defrost, the only problem is the motor for that thing that moves the flap to direct which vents the air goes to is like half dead

so it has no problem moving to feet or defrost, but 95% of the time it wont go back the face position

but i guess in the mean time ill have to be a man and just turn on the defrost... even though that will just make me sweat more balls in my car when its raining and i have the windows up with no AC and i live in south florida....

[tramp_drift240]

dude i know s14s can have window visors.

just go buy a set. theres no way they cost more than the ones i bought for my coupe.

[SketchyRollin564]

id rather spend that money on the AC, but how much are they and where can you find em?

[Justin35ll]

Never thought about that.. lol idk about you guys but I use the heat to get rid of the fog on my windows on cold mornings. At least in my VW, I've never had this problem in the s13 yet, and I have no blower motor in it so I hope it doesnt happen lol

[tramp_drift240]

dude AC is lame.

get on google and search for s14 window visors. or rain visors.

[SketchyRollin564]

dude, you dont live in south florida

its winter or i guess spring, so other than when its raining, im perfectly fine without AC

but over the sumer and when its raining, you really want AC

visors would be a good choice, but http://www.frsport.com/Genuine....html$120? my a**!

why would you need a/c when its raining...just use defrost....or move your temp to hot and move your vent to defrost and bottom...i wish i had a heat...my car has no heat or a/c....i blast my fan on to 4 and move my vent to defrost...with cold air..hahahaa..i always carry a jacket with me

[StandardProspect]

If you really want a/c, just put the compressor back in yourself. It like 4 bolts.

[SketchyRollin564]

AC takes the humidity out of the air...

why would i put the heat on when its raining? that would just make me sweat more

as far as putting the compressor back in, it was alot easyer back when there was nothing in the engine bay besides the engine and the harness, but i have to change the brackets for some reason cause i guess the obd1 and obd2 s14's had diffrent brackets or somthing... i have no idea

but either way i still have to recharge it and its just a b**** to work in that area so id rather just pay sombody else to do it

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

s14 raingaurds are cheap. Find yourself a set.

i love in north central fla, no a/c, heat or power steering in my s13

[SketchyRollin564]

your point? like i said, im fine without AC, it really aint that big of a deal in an older car, but when its raining you really want it, so you can have the windows closed without the windows fogging up and sweating your balls off from all the humidity

and in the summer, somtimes its just nice to have ice cold AC when you live in south florida and its hot and humid as balls

[Matej]

What I do is keep my sunroof open.

However, since your car does not have a sunroof as far as I can deduct from your signature, as a lot of people have already said, you could purchase rain guards/window visors which would allow you to have your windows slightly open even when it rains.

[SullivanRacing06]

ok, i leave the windows cracked when it rains, the gaurds that go on the outside of the windows really help.

a few of my friends that have deleted a/c use them on there d/d, trust me i know about the humid nasty weather! $hits nasty

[cody180sx]

just crack both the windows so the car circulates the car

[SketchyRollin564]

yeah the guards would be awsome, but like i said earlyer, there $120, for $150 i can get my AC put back in and recharged and vaccuumed

[gregfarz78]

dude AC is lame.

get on google and search for s14 window visors. or rain visors.

lol this guy lives in florida its not a luxury down there its a NECESSITY

[Scuffed_ChukiCoupe]

not a neccesity i was down there no ac in my 14, its all about what you can handle.

[maj Andres]

yeah the guards would be awsome, but like i said earlyer, there $120, for $150 i can get my AC put back in and recharged and vaccuumed

I got mine for $90ish shipped from ebay not that long ago

[leesredgt]

So if these rain guards help,what im i supposed to do b/c i have a Vert?

[TroubleBound]

hmph rain guards look silly, the keeping rain out would be cool but not at the expense of style. I have no ac and i usually use my heat/defroster or crack the sunroof/windows. When i get the sr20 done and all i'll replace the ac too, its not as hot in VA as FL but the humidity will slaughter you so it may as well be. I hate when im like sticking to my seats and steering wheel and when i can get out and ring out my clothes. Stupid shift knob gets all slimy and sweaty. I hate summer i want to move somewhere its never hot, cold doesn't bother me much. Good luck

[S14toRPS13]

why would you need a/c when its raining...just use defrost....or move your temp to hot and move your vent to defrost and bottom...i wish i had a heat...my car has no heat or a/c....i blast my fan on to 4 and move my vent to defrost...with cold air..hahahaa..i always carry a jacket with me

CA people. I'm assuming you've never lived out of CA. He's sweating b*lls in FL when it's raining because it's humid as sh*t down there. CA only rains when it's cold, everywhere else, it rains whether it's hot or cold. So imagine how humid it'll get when it rains, but it's hot outside.

To the op, you'll just have to suck it up. I had no AC in central CA during the summer. It sucks coming out all sweaty, but that's part of having a 240.

[AZ89two4Tsx]

Whoever says to get rainguards over A/C is retarded. Where is the logic there if the price difference is so minimal?

Also, how much does a new compressor cost? I need one as well.

[xX RB Xx]

crack the windows.. if rain gets in, boo hoo, its just a little water. your not going to melt. unless your a witch

your not a witch are you?

[tramp_drift240]

So if these rain guards help,what im i supposed to do b/c i have a Vert?

well, you just hope that youve got AC to use, otherwise....suck it up, because you made the choice to have a vert. hahaha

i dont like dealing with AC stuff, ive got window visors to use.

just get some. 120 bucks isnt anything. i paid like 200 or something for mine.
