I didn't weld my plate on, however I just finished mine up the other day, and it's aluminum, and I covered it up after with a dynamat like material. Interior noise went down QUITE a bit, and no more hot air coming up and inside the interior.





Sounds like it will be quite a bit more fun to drive. I know my car is fun as ish to take through and whip around turns. Soon I will have to start reading up on rules and sanctions so that I can take it to the track.

No problem on the throttle cable! Thanks for the visors, so much nicer now :D

that sucks, but at the same time it kinda makes our cars more appreciated, to some people anyway.

All i know is that i daily an 09 Si and although its super nice to drive, i get a totally different vibe drivin the ef, and turns more heads too

x1,000!

I will NOT remove the ac in my coupe. I know it would really clean up the bay, but I can't bring myself to do it. I think I would regret it...and so would you.

p.s. Perfect day to detail the girlfriend's G. (EF related 'cause you can see my rex )

Power steering is getting trashed so I'm going to swap the manual rack from the DX parts car in there. I'm debating on whether or not I should keep my a/c. It only blows semi-cool air and I really prefer the non-a/c look in the bay. I am also converting to 5 speed. I will probably be in here pretty often asking for advice trouble shooting.





This is okay by me, especially given the trends that are popular right now.
definately keep the a/c. a/c is so sweet. i love having a 91 honda with perfect working a/c.

I used to say the same thing. I didn't get a car with a/c until my senior year of college. And I lived in the Mojave Desert with a black truck and a vinyl seat. Then I could afford a daily with a/c...and I'll never go back.

Hell, when the a/c broke in the wagovan 2 months ago...I just bought a new car. haha.

A/c is pointless in sf...it's always foggy and freezing here

I actually just turned on the a/c in the evo for the first time at an autox a couple weeks ago...was hot as **** outside. A/c is actually works super well.

I LOVE A/C. The only way my crx will go without a/c again is if it becomes a dedicated track car (which I dont ever see happening because I like to drive it so damn much). My beater has a/c and I abuse the hell outta that stuff. Screw extra mpg. LOL

ever since i bought my S2000 i decided that i will probably never own a car that i drive on the street without a/c ever again. It is very possible to have a car that performs very well and can still be driven when its 103 degrees (like it was today in MD). When i had my CRX i always found myself not taking the car out on weekends because when i left my house at 1:00pm it was hotter then hell. But on the ride home from whatever event or meet or cookout, or party i was attending the sun was down and the weather was glorious. But i was driving my beater because the crx would've been unbearable earlier in the day.

i've been looking for something less expensive to replace the s2000 now, and a/c is my number one priority.

Well because I am not convinced this Celica is going to last I will keep the a/c in the sedan with the swap. If I end up having to daily drive it again I know business casual, 105* heat and no a/c doesn't mix.

The older I get the more I appreciate the A/C as well... but I dont think any of my EF's will ever have it. My prelude gets freezer burn status though!
