ps.

that last post was more directed to the ppl telling the op to buy a beater, not the op...


op,
you're a cool dood

[watkins]

I can tell you this much right now. It's a helluva lot cheaper to replace a clutch on a little four banger than it's gonna be on a BMW. Parts for bimmers aren't cheap.

You have clearly never looked at pricing for a Saab. Our shits not cheap.

It's a pain to turn anything without PS if you're not used to not having it.
That said, A couple of my future cars will be losing it.

Just waiting to pull the old R12 system out of the Spirit since I'm not gonna convert it...

Back to your regularly scheduled topic...

Aaron is jumping on the hardcore bandwagon lol no AC no powersteering lol

[wannabe]

the A/C don't work, why keep it in the car? and he aint taken out my powersteering, no matter how much it sucks

[hockeystyx16]

well you could fix the AC, whats wrong with it?

[wannabe]

like aaron said, he's not doing an R12 conversion, wtf that means...

besides, i don't need a/c. i've never had it in a car i've owned

[hockeystyx16]

lol you already got a R12 system. they switched to R134a in 94, all you gotta do is drain the old system of R12, put on new fittings and fill it with 134

[wannabe]

ok...he said r12 conversion. i'm not sure what the hell i'm talking about. besides, he says its like 30 lbs, so less weight!

That's what I mean. R12 to R134a. The compressor is siezed, and it'd leak like a bitch even if I could convert and refill... No thanks... If we can live without it, we will...
