is this correct or is it bent?

veggiemaster

im going to say bent. usually those are straight up and down.

copperfox

usually?!!?!? lol

thanks for the input veggie but is there somebody with a definitive answer?

siregcivic

ya thats bent... its supposed to be straight up and down with no bends

junior40er

mins bent like that too but never thought much of it. Thatss weird its bent exactly the same way. Does anyone have a pic of theirs that is straight cuz its seems like its just the way it is.

YeeJ6

ya, that doesnt looks right. id show you mine except ive got a 96 hatch

siregcivic

heres a pic of mine.. its also a little bent nothing like urs... id imagine thats what happens when u bottom out on the front end hard... if hit mine a couple of times.

siregcivic

damn thats a big pic heres another of the same one but smaller

EtherEG93

im pretty sure mine is straight.

how hard is it to take ac out ?

i see your guys is out

what do i gain by it?
i hate ac in the car on though

siregcivic

to take the ac out... u need to take the car to have the freon drained... unbolt all the lines.. its not really hard.. just look at whats bolted down and remove it

junior40er

Nah its easy to remove ac. Just loosen up the any part of the pipe just enought to hear it leak and leave it like that with hood open for like 2 hours to make sure its all out. The start taking it all off. Start by reming all pipes then canister and condenser and unplug the relays and stuff. Then remove compressor by removing it from braket off engine and belt will come right off. Its easy it took me only 30 minutes after discharge. Engine bay will look much cleaner and gain noticeable amount of power. Like night and day.

junior40er

but make sure you save all that crap cause you can get good money for those things. I have tooken both off my eg civic and have them laying there cause I might want to replace em but if you wanna get rid of it let me know my friend wants to buy em for his eg. He has a jdm b16 with tons of bolt on so hes cool with losing a bit o power cause he doesnt race or anything. Just let me know how much with shipping to 90706

siregcivic

ya but its not good to drain the freon out in the open... just take it to a damn place they will drain it for u.. and if u get caught draining freon into air.. its a 1200 fine good luck

siregcivic

and you dont really gain any horsepower .. just a little in wieght savings ... like what 30-40 pounds.. and it doesnt use any horsepower unless its on.. i took mine out because im goin home made turbo and i want to put my side mount right there.. also my ac pump was fucked...

make sure you seal all the hoses and inlets on the compressor and stuff so they dont get contaminated in case you want to sell them or put them back on. ESPECIALLY seal the fittings that go into the car. if you leave them on the car, they will get so full of dust and ****. its not easy to flush if you want to put these pieces back on.
