Default Compressor just seized.......

My damn A/C compressor seized as I was merging onto I64 this evening. Scared the bejesus out of me. Lots of belt smoke and screeching. I initially thought the worst(timing belt). After getting it to a buddies garage we checked it out and the compressor had leaked all of its bearing grease and seized. Funny thing it sounded fine until it let go......
Anyone got a Integra (G3) ac compressor they don't want?

Hey John,
Yes I will be going to VIR in FEB but not running and I'll be there on Saturday. So I assume you are putting pistons in the ITR? The compressor thing was the last thing I thought would tap out in my car!!!!

GSRtoR, how old was your compressor? I'm curious of things to look for in the future on my R.

only about 40-50k old. The one I had on my GSR was from a 97 ITR. I have no idea why it seized other then maybe I over tensioned the belt?! I wouldn't worry. I've never heard of this happening to anyone else.

Sweet, which event? nasa or speedtrials? i'm THINKING about putting pistons in, if it's just honing required, i'm sure hope can take care of that w/o a problem for me. gotta talk to him and see how much he wants to put them in first, i'll probably do them when i do my cams and everything (1.5 months or so). why aren't ya running?
