So anyone ever INSTALLED a new airconditioner in their 86?

wear some really big tidy widys n pack them full of dry ice? ok il stop wit tha bullshit but seriously hachi aircon's are pretty inefficient anyway a good idea would be to concentrate on keeping the heat out in the first place? car cover? paint ur car white? head absobing foam as i said above? and where the hell r u parking the car to get it hittin 43 degree heat?

office car park has no shade at all. in summer a sun shade really doesnt cut it. im gonna get it tinted first.

V8 supercar drivers (pushrod four door family hack racers) have a race suit that has a series of channels and pipes in it alowing cold water to be circulated through it keeping the driver cold in the hotter endurance races. Get one of these an eski behind the drivers seat full of ice and a pump of some sort and your set.

But seriously a used condensor won't cost much and LPG had not heard of that one but might work great. Is LPG compatible with the oil in a/c system, if so which oils?

[r3zzz4]

Victoria uses lpg in their a/c, its just not legal anywhere else. it uses like 200-300 grams so its not dangerous considering u can store 60 litres in ur boot and its legal. compatible with all oils, it has a lower density so dont charge it up as much as normal refrigerant, it runs at lower head pressures so its more friendly on ur radiator and can run it at about -10 degrees if setup right. i used it in my old car and couldnt put my feet in the footwells because it hurt it was so cold. word of warning tho, change EVERY seal in the system cause lpg is notorious for leaking. just charge it till the suction line starts to sweat and is about 100-200 Kpa at 1200rpm. Piece of piss, enjoy.
