Ok so i was using my air conditioning today and discovered that with the amount that petrol costs you would have to be bloody rich to use it 8O

Its all good in saying that but what happen's if your
park a set of light's around town and there's no breeze to speak of
opening the window will do jack.. I took the air con out of the Starlet but some day's I wish I had it..

Wheres the " I drove the car into a wall, didn't do any damage, but now my air con dosn't work option"

If it worked id vote yes. Not like the 3au is a gass guzzla, plus borgs dosn't work.

Did they have A/C in 1972? Was out pretty quick in the Levin too.

Corollas had it in 1976, dunno about 1972 though.

Id be suprised if a stock K motor could spin an A/C Pump :lol:

Aircon only makes my car slower so it only gets used if it's very, very hot.

If my car didnt have AC in summer, id go crazy. Its a big buying point for me if im looking. :) All tho i hardly use it in winter.

Has anyone actually found out how much extra petrol it uses per km or somthing like that??? :?:
