For those of you that delete your AC. is this a good alternative?

[CENTURION]

I've been considering trying this out. It sounds like a good idea to me, and I think, maybe the E30 can pull it off. It should weigh less than our AC components. so what do you think? would you try it? has it ever been done???

I've seen it on some newer rabbits.

Yea that's what I've been seeing as well.
my purpose wouldn't be so much for looks though, it's hot as heck in socal, and summer is pretty much here. could be of good use I say

I'd get one of those cheap cigarette lighter fans and call it good.

but swamp coolers feel good, that little fan won't do nuffin in the peak of socal summer. air is so hot outside even

Or just fix the ac?

[CorvallisBMW]

WTF is it? Also, A/C is not very hard or expensive to fix. It amazes me that 90% of e30 drivers either refuse to fix it or just throw it in the garbage :???:

@Coupelx, yes that would be great and original but I'm thinking of something different. keeping the weight off the car and pulley off the motor. not that it makes much of a difference. Just something new.
@CorvallisBmw, it is an Auto cooler, works the same as a swamp cooler, uses meshed up wood like material that gets soaked with water and air compressing through a bit making cooler humid air into your car. may not be exactly the way it works just the idea.

I am of the same mindset. Hell even my twin turbo fox moostang had AC. no power steering because racecar but damn right it had AC.

It adds a high amount of overall enjoyment to the car for me. Gotta stay comfy!

Also those "swamp coolers" dont work if you live in a humid climate.

People survived thousands of years before AC was invented. Clearly AC is unnecessary.

Neither is the E30...

good thing I don't live in the south east coast states. I'll never forget benning. ;)

i threw my ac away, now I'm piecing it back together. it sucks when your rolling down the freeway and having hot air blown at you

[AndrewBird]

Swamp coolers work by using the evaporation of water to cool the air around it. When water (or anything for that matter) evaporates, it takes energy to do so (phase change). The energy has to come from somewhere and it comes from the air cooling around the water. The problem is, in high humidity, you get less evaporation and therefor less cooling.

maybe down the road I'll piece up my ac once again. but hell, I'll give this a try just to say, I done it. who knows, might look cool and feel cooler .
